>You are absolutely correct. Use tape, and quickly remove excess with a soapy wet finger. keep paper towels close by to wipe your fingers on.You can't let the silicone skin-up, maybe 5 minutes, before you remove the excess. These can be very hard learned, and sometimes re-learned lessons. Another tip with silicone, if it's cold, pre-warm your tubes in warm water for 15 minutes.
