When doing lam bindings, how do you account for the radius or downward slope that happens at the waist without getting a gap?

Terence brings up a good point.................................roping or binding is better then tape.

I too wonder what you exactly what you are referring to as laminated bindings. Can you give a fuller description of what you are doing?

I put a little sideways bend in the binding at the waist which allows it to fit much better.
