That's an interesting thought, one that has never occurred to me... I suppose because the problem has never presented itself. The non-sticky side of tapes I've used have always been smooth running through the outer tube. If you had any kind of roughness on the interior of the outer tube, I guess that might set things off. But if both tube and socket are reasonably smooth, you should have no problem coming up with a slightly enlarged diameter that fits easily but snugly into the socket. I've never had the sticky side of the tape curl over and bind on me. If you want to take precaution, I would say merely burnishing the tape down once you have a good fit would be all you'd need to do. Keep in mind that you will start with a fit that is loose by not too many thousandths of an inch, so you would probably need no more than a few layers of tape to fill the gap. One or two might easily do it.

Now that you've set my mind off, I think a hyper-obsessive type such as myself might lay down the first wind spaced slightly wider than the width of the tape; then the second layer would go down in two winds, one lapping halfway over the leading edge of the first wind, and the second lapping halfway over the trailing edge of the first wind. This would recess the sticky edge of the tape on both the insertion and withdrawal.

Reminds me of the slogan we had posted in our office when I was a mid-management slave: "There is no project too simple for our staff to complicate."
