For me the best way to trim a m'room tip is to use a japanese kiradashi knife. SHARP as fk and goes thru leather like shit thru a goose. just tape off the ferrule, trim, polish the side of tip with super fine sandpaper and burnish. done. https://www.knifecountryusa.com/sto...h7213j7xe4LCxAE0jzAmVg21zC_q0hoRoCsg4QAvD_BwE

I've never needed to tape the ferrule when using a Kiridashi knife to trim a tip--even for the first tip install I did following Dr. Dave's tip install video. A cheap Kiradashi knife ($12) and a block of wood is all you need. Here's the Kiridashi knife I bought:
To fix a mushroomed tip, you can just follow the latter part of Dr. Dave's video (after he glues on a new tip). Here's a video of an alternate way to use a Kiridashi knife to fix a mushroomed tip:

taping it off is cheap insurance. if you dog it with a blade that sharp you may end up needing a new ferrule.
When Mushroom is just starting it will remove it.
People let stuff get out of control, before fixing.
A NEW $1.00 NOTE does same thing.
