It is pushed down to the base of the blades. There is no contact there. nt - Norm 07:51:05 09/13/09 (7)

Just wrap the teflon tape at the plug end of the blades and then push it against the plug with pliers. - Norm 20:13:58 09/07/09 (10)

Wrap each blade individually. - Al Sekela 15:42:00 09/08/09 (5)
