Default Proofide on Brooks leather bar tape

What do you guys think? Use small amount of Proofide
and let it be? My concern would that if I put it some
on it it will stretch out and have to be reapplied -
but if I do not then it will crack if it will get wet
and dry out (mechanic put it very tight).


I put proofide on my Brooks tape, a couple of light applications at
first and haven't touched it since. It darkens the tape nicely and
mine still looks great after a number of rides in the rain.
