Nose Cone Tape Wraps - TIP

If a nose cone shoulder is too loose in a body tube, here's what most tape wraps look like.

I prefer the tape wrap over the rounded shoulder taper otherwise it can roll back and stick inside the body tube.
Here the tape won't fit over the taper without wrinkling.

Wrap the shoulder with masking tape but leave the top over the taper.

With a sharp knife, cut slits from the taper up and through the side of the tape. The segments should be around 3/32" wide.

The segments are stuck down one by one so the side of each flap lays over the previous piece.

After all the segments are in place, rub down over the rounded shoulder taper.
