It is important to use the correct thickness tape, required to be effective.
This is a Butyl tape and works on both friction and adhesion. The tape should therefore feel a little tight when fitted. It is better to go up a size than be under.
For how to fit the setting tape, see Nathan’s how to videos in TIPS and TECH.
