They don't, since the pencil is too thin (using your pinky has the same effect). Use a bic pen or a german/japanese pencil and then you can rewound the tape proper.

Nah. You don’t want it to rotate, you want to move your hand in a small circle.

You use the wood right before the exposed lead and maintain pressure toward the outside of the spool. The pen clip cap from a Bic or a partially unbent paper clip worked even better than a pencil.

exactly. and even better is a german/japanese pencil as they fit the inner spool perfectly.
