Excellent information here. Kind of wish I had seen something like this before I started using tape. Now I understand why my technique was so messy (running the tape past the toe).
Wish my 'mentor' would have shared this........

Well-Done! My pet peeve at meets, etc. A guy with a roll of tape swinging from the end of the razor trying to catch it with scissors!
I won't name names.

Below is a video of how I tape. I never have seen a problem cutting the tape flush with the end of the spine but in this video I bent the tape and then cut in a bit from the end. Normally I cut the tape while it is hanging straight down and use the end of the spine as the guide for where to place the scissors to make the cut.
