Hi everyone! Thanks to some help, I have my BRPE running at 110CPS reliably!

I am trying to learn to butterfly tape like in this video:

https://youtu.be/hQG8VRSez_U

I can not for the life of me figure out what they are doing with their fingers. It looks like they take the tape back up over the thumb, and then around the pinky, and there is a twist somehow in the middle. When I try it just twists the tape into a knot.

Does anyone have expetience doing this and can talk me through it?

Thanks!

-Eric
