Hey Awasoda,
I haven't really used the method that you mentioned but you may want to try out surgical tape(3M tape).
They have either poris or non poris. I have used it many times and the results are great. They come in a variety of sizes from thin width to wide band. You get a better look w/ tape I feel as well as it conforms better to the surface.
You can purchase this type of tape at any hospital/medical store.
Flaps up, Mike
