Put a second layer of tape on it so the two sticky sides are stuck together. I suppose you could also coat the sticky side in baby powder or something similar, but the double tape might be the better way to go.
I just use ribbon though, so I haven't tried either.
Most rolls of duct tape are going to be twice as wide as the rim strip you need. Fold it in half. It sticks to itself, and you get double the protection.
Use your duct tape color of choice sticky side to the tube . And cover that with strapping / shipping tape. The kind with the filaments running through it. The duct tape will stretch and bulge, the strapping tape willpprevent that and weighs next to nothing.
I just stuck it to the existing rim strip and made a couple breaks in it where there wasn't arim hole then just stretch it back on and center and away ya go.......
I use one layer with baby powder on the inside. Note, the baby powder doesn't completely prevent adhesion between the tape and the tube so I normally have to replace the tape when I deflate the tube. No, biggie unless you are on an expedition in central Alaska. Then I would use two layers facing each other.
Nice!
Duct tape came out with a good amount of crazy patterned tape....pretty sweet!
