: jay's method seems like it might be a good one here. he hot glue tabs every
: 4in of so the tape right up to the end (if accessible) before fitting the
: halves together. that way the tape has more difficulty being disturbed
: when fooling around w/ the brush, foam pad or pour method than if not held
: in place. i would think it's especially helpful for those really hard to
: reach ends where almost only a pour would reach.

: sounds like it's made for the hot g-lue guru!

I find it very easy to push dry seam tape as far as I want into the stems.

Once resin soaks through a spot on the tape it will not move and it's easy to
smooth out any wrinkles along the lenght of the seam.
