If we are talking cork tape and or shrink over cork tape the way I do it is build an epoxy ramp. I like to use Flex coat liquid epoxy glue which is harder to use then say U-40 paste type. It's not hard to do just takes some time to do it. The trick is to shape it and leave it alone to spin on the dryer (liquid stuff) You can also build it up with thread and then coat it with epoxy.
