However, there is no defined edge for the fang area,so you have to rely on a clean tape edge. I've yet to hear how you can remove the tape cleanly after applying four coats without the edges being ragged if you are going to let it dry between coats like is recommended.
I can't see any other way for getting a clean edge that to run an exacto knife or razor blade along the tape line before removing the tape.
Am I missing something here, or just over-analyzing the whole thing?

You're supposed to peel of the tape while the plasti dip is still wet to get a clean edge with tape. Spray one heavy coat and peel off the tape before it dries.
