3M tape to mount tubular on aluminium rim

Hi, Here in Brazil it's hard to get some items, including tape for mounting tubular tyres. I wish to use tape rather than glue. My rims are 1980s Campagnolo Lambda Strada and from my measurements I need tape that is 18mm or at a pinch,19mm wide.

3M double sided tape is manufactured locally and there seems to be 3 types of double sided tape that are 19mm in width and readilyavailable. All are Vhb (very high bond) varieties.

There's the 4905, which has red backing, 0.5mm of thickness, Vhb and clear. A second "model" code of HB004670665 is given for the 4905. Can be used with PVC, aluminium and glass.

There's also the 4910 which comes with either red or green backing. The red is 1mm thick, clear and can be used on various materials. Is also Vhb and transparent. The green seems to have the same specs.

There's also the very thick (1.5mm) 19mm wide CV-150 Vhb tape. It's grey in colour.

Are any of these tapes suitable? My guess would be to use the 0.5mm 4905 tape.

Thanks
