The Forhan wrap is certainly not going to hurt anything if you choose to use it. Maybe some enterprising angler will wrap a couple of those - one according to the manufacturer's instructions and one with Rich's method and then do some tests to see which one holds the guide best.

I do believe that the purpose of the underwrap with those guides is to sandwich the guide foot rather than protect the blank (protect it from what?) and thus ensure the guide does not loosen or pull out. Rich's method may well do the same job better and with less weight.
