I started cutting the tape in half length-wise and cutting sections
about 4 inches long.  These just fit around the torus, and smooth
down wrinkle-free.  It seems that this second layer of tape is
smoothing out a bit better too, if not for the 1" vertical banding
it would be quite pretty :)

I think it will work well, and wasn't overly tedious to construct.
