NetJuggler's review of Prodigy Snake Tape Premium:

This Premium version is smoother and more robust than "standard" tapes. It holds better over time, especially in areas of frequent support (bottom of the hoop, areas of sockets). For a perfect installation, its 38 mm width facilitates the winding angle and limits the excess thickness. In practice, we recommend anticipating a second roll if you want to reinforce the bottom of the hoop, make alterations or cover a large diameter (> 100 cm) and/or a tube wider than 25 mm.

Second pass : start again from the bottom, in the other direction , by starting a hand's width next to the initial starting point to cross the Coverings. Go all the way to the top.
Large diameter / reinforcement : add 1–2 additional passes on the bottom of the hoop to protect the support area.
Mounting openings : at the end, locate the holes/shackles. Pierce the tape cleanly (make an "X" cut, then trim to a square) and Clear the edge to prevent the shackles from getting stuck.

For a lasting result: install in a dry environment, with a regular overlap (½ width). reinforce the bottom of the hoop with additional passes, then Apply chalk immediately after application.
