+1!
The trick with electric tape is to clean the tube WELL before taping. Use rubbing alcohol if you have some. And burnish the tape really well. I use the smooth rounded end of a screwdriver handle. Clean that with the alcohol PRIOR to burnishing as well. Gets any grease off that might compromise the tape. And use a couple of pieces of tape crisscrossed.
