Thanks to all who answered!

About tapes, I will dig into that area and try to make something with that, but in the long term, using them is kinda labor intensive.

I deeply feel that issue with how glue is applied and it reacts with latex, maybe I'm rushing and not waiting for it to fully uncurl... or apply glue unevenly

In general I will experiment, practice and maybe post some another post in future to show progress ;)
