Wellllllllllllllllllllllllll, I think you may have misunderstood the Tostada, at least the way we use it. When rappelling, it is a Tostada, but when being pulled, it changes into a Taco. Otherwise there is no cleaning mechanism.
When looking at narrow slots, it is often best to set up the SandTrap many feet back from the edge. Partly, to give the trap time to clear before getting to the narrow spot. Partly, by the time it gets to the narrow spot the Trap might be flying through the air and go over the top.

Tom,
Congrats on being post 100 and getting us to page 6.
You are correct in that I might have pictured the tostada differently. If the trap is flat and the pull comes up over the top of the sand, it will turn into a taco.
What if the pull runs underneath the trap with the recommended groove running the entire length of the tostado? It might become an inside out taco or perhaps just bunch up and stick.
On the particular drop we are talking about I don't think the trap would become airborne before the pinch, at least, not with me pulling it.

I know this is an older thread, but I thought I would comment on the placement of the Sandtrap in the 2nd photo. This should have been a "tortilla" setup,ie: Sandtrap flat and rap rope attached only to bottom 2 webbing loops. The "taco" setup only used when behind a definite hanging lip as in potholes. See attached vid for the "tortilla" setup. This is actually a Sandtrap Sandwich, for raps where more sand is required. The pull would be impossible with only one Sandtrap.
