The tape will be ok. I usually make sure that my epoxy covers the sides of the tape and face of the tape, and goes onto the blank on both sides for a little bit in a continual unbroken area. The epoxy will soak into the tape a bit, and it really makes a solid build up. I've never had one fail, and in fact I'm trying to remove one from a past build and finding it not so easy.
Just make sure the blank surface and the seat surface where you are gluing are scuffed up a bit.
