Default Strapping Tape on ARF Wings?

Greetings, I think I heard someone mention the use of strapping tape (run spanwise, along the spar) as a quick way to increase the strength of ARF wings.

Has anyone tried this? I am wondering if the tape is fuelproof enough. Also it is possible that although very thin, the "edge" of the tape could create unwanted turbulence.

Thanks for any info!

Ernie
