I have used two layers of Newbuams cloth tape for doble wrapping. In your case, if you use the Newbaums as the base layer, just be sure to not overlap the base layer tape as you wrap it. It makes the top layer a bit uneven and possibly feel "lumpy". There is no need to overlap since the Newbaums will have a layer on top of it.
