These instructions were prepared to fully explain my method of sheltie puppy ear tipping for the benefit of my clients and my puppy buyers. I encourage my puppy buyers to follow these instructions for up to a year as their puppies' appearance represent Silver Trails Shelties and properly tipped ears give the most pleasant expression.
OK, now for the good stuff. By popular demand, I have created a movie clip of how to set sheltie puppy ears with the Japanese Ear Tape.
Cut pieces of tape like so:

Stop the Madness!!!
It concerns us to know that some people are still using moleskin with lighter fluid, warming up moleskin with fire, keeping alcohol close, using any flammable liquids in conjunction with training ears and grooming. For your own welfare and that of your beloved dogs, this must stop. There is another way, easier and safer and for us, the Japanese Ear Tape does the job. To remove tape and gummy residue, use Uni-solve (Individually Wrapped Packets - you can get this at any medical supply store) as it is safe and painless and non-traumatic.
