3M crossweave tape.

Ebay has it, or google it. Good for 90psi road tubeless.

+1 for insulation tape. 3 layers or so - has worked fine for the last 12 months.

My two LBS's use electrical tape as do I

Scotchbright pad the rim then use brake cleaner, then wind three times, once on one side, through the middle and onto the other side

Sorted

Stan's tape is just repackaged 3M packing tape 😉

try Specialized's "Roval" tape, much better value, a single roll will do about 8 wheels and it seems much sticker than the Stan's / 3M tape
