Even if you are careful not to stretch the tape before cutting it, it still might not cling well if you get a finger print on it or some of the sealant leaked...Putting a plastic cable tie, (ty-wrap) over the end of the wrap, or tying it off with lacing cord, the flat stuff used on aircraft cable bundles, will keep it in place...I have used both methods...The plastic ty-wraps might eventually turn brittle and break if they have tension on them, but they will last for several years...
