Seeing as I have the yellow tape, the plan is to
a) remove yellow tape and clean rims
b) apply new yellow tape
c) Leave innertube in overnight to help set tape
d)remove one bead and tube, install valve
e) pump up hope for best - if not weezing like mad from nipples go ahead and add sealant.If I do end up going with GT do you mean the classic black stuff or the clear repair tape?

I'd say with any tape you are aiming for it to be butted against the sidewall, because when the tyre deflates, if it's not sitting on tape, it's going to take the tape with it back towards the centre channel.
These days I just bung some super wide GT in it and don't care if a bit of tape is sticking out of the tyre / rim interface when the whole thing is done. It just works. So bascially just cover the entire rim surface with that shit.
If your yellow tape has got sealant under it then I'd either remove and bin it or get some GT and stick it over the yellow tape.
