Bill: you have good eyes, and did look closely at the image I posted!!

I used 10mil on the sides of the drop-center because the compound curve was more difficult to form the tape to that shape.

I used a layer of 20 mil over the bottom of the drop-center. I now think this use of 20 mil is ‘over-kill’. With the two side pieces of 10 mil meeting in the center of the drop, an additional layer of 10 mil creates 20 mil total thickness over the bottom of the drop-center. I think this is plenty thick, since the PVC tape is really tough stuff !
