I clearly made the valve holes in the tape too large, I was making an “X” shaped incision with a pen knife, I finally had success using a hole punch to make a neat cut-out for the valve that was slightly smaller than the valve stem (I used additional sections of tape that I put over the valve hole area, rather than re-wrapping the rims again)

there's something about using a hole punch that I find awesome.

Fine if you have a hole punch. I have many knives, zero hole punchy punchy.

Howard in reply to @hippy

yeah I know I just never thought of doing it. The roundness of the hole pleased me.

I've done the 'X' cut, used a screwdriver poked upwards through the rim and more recently just jammed the stem upwards through the rim. The later two probably wouldn't work with yellow tape though.
