I concur on the type. I also find that if I put it on in a spiral, I can "screw" the motor in and out. Otherwise, I seem to either have too little and pop the motor, or its too tight and I have to use pliers at home after the motor has cooled.
try laying the tape onto the motor tube not on the motor, this way you should be able to pull out the motor without any trouble because the tape is sticking to the mount.
