Straps for wagon loads

I found these masking strips at Junction Models here in Adelaide by Mr Hobby (for $6.20 you cant go wrong) which I thought would be ideal for using as straps for wagon loads. In the past I have seen people use electrical tape and they cut them into strips. But I am lazy, not going to lie and cutting strips while being consistent with the width isn't easy. So what I have done is sprayed these masking strips with a can of Tamiya blue and peel of each strip individually and use them as a strap. What I have found great is they stick well to what ever surface you are applying them to.
