I've heard that works, but my problem with it is there is no precision
to the application. Stans seems to be saying to try X layers of tape,
and if that fails, try another. Stuff like that doesn't instill
confidence, at least for me.

I eventually decided that the only duplicable and reliable solution
was to use Stan's rims, which have a unique bead design that locks the
tire in better.

I wrote a little about it here:

Good luck with the Ghetto setup. If you intend to use this for
cyclocross, I'd start my trials soon, because it might take a long
time to get it reliable and trustworthy.
