I was wandering around and doing other stuff as well, and it took me around 20 minutes to change them out.

As I look at them, I do wish that I did one thing different. I started taping at the top and worked down, but if I had gone from the bottom up, the top tape would be the widest, and it is the one you see the best. Also there is a chance for moisture to collect on the lip of the tape, and it would be on the bottom side the other way. Oh well.
another good tip
I'll make sure to start from the bottom
I have the partitions just waiting for the tape to arrive, it's been over a month since I ordered it in China thru Ali.
