I'm not knocking the spray adhesives, but this is how I do paper wraps:

I make a puddle of Alleene's Super Tacky glue onto a paper plate. I temporarily attach one end of the wrap onto the BT in it's correct position and alignment with 3M delicate surface (orange core) tape. I lay the wrap around the tube and make pencil lines around each edge. I then begin attaching the free end of the wrap my rubbing the glue onto the BT between the pencil lines and rolling the wrap onto the adhesive in stages--probably about 1 inch at a time. Have a finger bowl and LINT-FREE towel ready to clean your gluing fnger after each stage.

The aforementioned process is how I applied the waps onto this Semroc Orion.
