That's allot of work. Its gonna work well...
I use High Temp Wiring Loom Harness Self-Adhesive Felt Cloth Electrical Tape (Amazon). Its cheap. I keep several rolls in the beer frig and no longer worry about having the right size rim strip.
It also works good for Bar Tape.
Man... I am such a cheap bastard too...
