Should be a bit smoother now.
That tape looks like packing tape (little lines in it).
You might want to try some long lasting clear tape.
FROST KING T96H Clear Plastic Weatherseal Tape, 2" X 100'
This stuff is not thin like packing tape and works at all kinds of temperatures.
It's flexible and has a little stretch to it. Great stuff for outdoor use.
I use it to hold the Ailerons on my RC airplanes and a lot of other stuff.
I get it at hardware stores like Lowes and Homedepot.
You need a sharp tool to cut it, since there is no way you can tear it by hand.
