Depends on the circumstances. You're doing it right though. If you feel

How do you get a couple of turns? I've never been able to get more
than a half turn or so before things tighten up enough that I'm afraid
of breaking the tap.

There must be some sort of corrolary to Murphy's Law about this; taps
only break in locations whose position is absolutely essential and for
which no alternative exists. I don't want to fall prey to that...ever.
