Got to agree with Dave,

It's vitally important to learn the skill but once you've got it taped it almost becomes second nature.

Practice with buddy pairs first from the bottom. Sometimes on a wreck you can secure the reel to the wreck surface and let the blob go. No pulling upwards for you and you can take your time.

From midwater - or when there's nothing to hold onto. I'd advise getting negative just incase you lift a couple of meters. Also I always when sticking the blob up midwater do it from 8-10m not at 5m just in case.

Finally, don't worry about it too much. It's basically a series of simple skills tacked together. Take your time and find out what's the best method for YOU.

Happy Blobbing
