I've taped tubs in the past using Jantex tape, and they where a lot easier to remove from the rim than glued ones. Always use glue now.
My gluing method is fairly quick, masking tape on outside of rims, even layer of glue on both rim and base tape (inflate tub so base tape rolls outward), wait 30mins, another coat on the rim, wait 30mins, mount tub to rim and centre. Whack up to a hefty PSI and leave overnight.
As others have said I'd use a road tub for HH, Veloflex, new 320tpi Vittorias or Conti Sprinters for something a little cheaper
