Used as a super cone

My first attempt at this was disappointing. I didn't like the tape ripping out and a sloppy wet piece of tape flapping around while I was trying to get a grip. I was able to use short pieces of tape and it worked better than nothing, but I wasn't sure I'd try it again. Then I found out about the Super Cone, which does something similar: it pulls the tape through a wet bucket of dirt, wetting one side, and the difference is that you pull it into the other bucket, giving you a whole bucket full have tape that you then pull out and attach to the wall. It looks like it might not work. It works fantastic. After doing this a few times I realized that the duct tape bud could be used as a super taper and I could run 30 or 50 feet of duct tape into a bucket that was already dirty and then apply it from the bucket , and that solved the problem. . Problem. It's a lot cheaper than the Super Slim, which is around $150-$200, and it's easier to clean, which is why I now prefer it to the Super Slim, at least for smaller jobs. If I'm going to be pulling 100+ feet or so, a super taper might be a little easier. So use the supercone technique here too, IMO. There are tons of good Supertaper videos on YouTube that will give you an idea of what I'm talking about. They are also sometimes referred to as tape strippers. People have also created some clever DIY versions that probably work great now that I understand all of this, although it's cheap and easy enough that I'm not sure it's worth the effort. still.
