Hi Greg, just last week I recieved my LT. Bamboo Grand-DBR. It has paua dots. they're nice looking, but I'm playin around with some easily movable plastic tape. It comes in different colors. I get it at either the local office supply or you can try a hobbie shop. Very inexpensive, stays put, same size which is nice . you can move it around, use different colors as guides [for us newer players]. you can pick it off easily and theres no mess. give it a try for fun, its helping me....Tony D.
