Honestly all sharp edges work for cutting tape if you just scratch the edge of the board on it smoothly |

| I use scissors.... not the blade, but there is usually a sharp edge on the other side of the blade... same motion as a file ... |

| a fine, rounded metal file works best for me. try to file fast and in different angles, results can be almost perfect, but depends on the tape you use. |

| use TNP tape and 45 degree angle. file off edges afterwards for a better finish. I believe paul (frostiefb) cuts his tape first and his tape always looks perfect. |

| Emory board, it will get it off exact and perfect! (Emory boards are those foam, really fine grit nail files in case you didn't know). |
