Default Fiberglass Tape: Holding To A Curve?

1" tape, covering a hull/deck seam on a surf ski. Epoxy resin.

Somebody suggested using wider tape, but the original stuff was 1" so I stayed
with that size.

Looks like it's going to go on ok except up at the duckbill/hammerhead bow where
there's a curve that it has to follow from center to edge. Think trying to
tape Donald Duck's bill closed by running a 1" strip from his left jaw around
the front and over to his right jaw - following the seam of the upper and lower
bills, but wrapping around top and bottom.

Maybe it will go on ok, maybe not..... But just in case...

Are there any ticks to get glass to adhere to a close radius outside curve?
