That's the tape that I use.
Starting at post # 100 is a detailed explanation of how I put the tape down:

As for you getting bumps, I've never had this problem. I'm assuming you have prep'ed the surface as would be done for painting, ie, resin applied FG cloth and primer/sanding to smooth the entire surface.
I've got some thinner thickness 6" wide tape that I ordered a long time ago from a web site. It's advantages are it does compound curves better. It's disadvantages is it curls easily when the paper backing is removed (thus making application harder) and I find large pieces are difficult to apply without getting wrinkles as any outer part that touches the planes surface before getting the center smoothed out creates wrinkles.
For covering large panels, I just break up the panel in sections where rivets will be and overlap the rivet area by a 1/16".
