Hi -Sorry for the delayed response. I have not been reading the post for a

few days and there has been so much activity I am way behind. Anyhow, to answer

your question regarding the Hy-Tape, we have used it from the beginning and

never had to change it. The directions say that it is easy to remove but you

will have to try and see. As far as changing the petals that do not have the

Hy-tape on them, we have done that with no problem. I am glad to here PT went

well and is adjusting.

KIT,
