    The paper is concerned with different non-orientable surfaces spanning a given knot. The main result of this paper is the construction of a knot that bounds spanning surfaces with distinct boundary slopes, each of these surfaces having a hyperbolic exterior. This shows that integral accidental slopes may take distinct values for some knots.
