As I recall, he used the inner tube from the tires. Electrical tape would have done just fine.

The whole idea is to support the bark and keep it attached to the wood. My pajama bottoms would do just as well.

Ron Martin has a nice demo to show the point. He wraps a cigarette in plastic, which allows him to bend it double without tearing the paper.
