I use very thin trim wraps (3 at the most and usually 2). I basically tie a really short nail knot and leave the longer ends attached. I snug the band up, then I put a small drop of CP on the trim band at the point where the ends cross. I should note that usually my trim bands are metallic, so the CP has no effect. Then after the CP dries, I go back with a razor blade and cut the tag ends back where they emerge, and then I'm ready for finish. Works like a charm.
