Hold the roll of tape in your right hand, with the tape coming off the top of the roll, towards your left hand.
Hold the fitting in your left hand, with the treads pointed towards you. start two threads up from the bottom and wrap down around the fitting, wraping up the treads.....
When done, hold the fitting, where you just put tape, using the index finger and thumb on your left hand. Then turn the fitting to the right, or clockwise, one turn to tighten the tape. If the tape rolls off the fitting, you did it backwards. And wraping the wrong way is how people get teflon tape into the hydraulic system.

If I had 3 hands I could take pictures of how it is done to help the dialog, but I would probably be to busy getting more work done (HA)!

Good Luck
