I used multiple types of tapes, longest lasting and most comfortable was some long tape from SQlabs.

Right now I am looking at Grepp cloth tapes, they are bit more pricey but should last pretty much forever, you just have to wash them sometimes.

Just a tip for using WD-40 on bikes for regular maintenance it is good to know what for it was developed - protective oil coating for steel/stainless steel plates.

So it can be used to give nice shine to the frame paint after cleaning or it is excellent for coating cassette and chain before longer storage (it leaves the oil coat and protect it from rust).

The side effect of needing to cover every craves of the surface means that it is penetrating quite deep so people started using it everywhere - stuck bolts, hard to oil parts…

As others said it isn’t the best or even good product for what you want to use it for.

That said there are options for touring, for example last year I started my tour with waxed chain. It isn’t the best solution either, it doesn’t like wet conditions without bit more maintenance than oil (if you don’t do it it starts to rust).

I switched to oil and bit more cleaning after a while, but because I use spirit stove I had already some alcohol with me so in the end it was quite a breeze to deal with it. Also when you use drip on oil and apply it correctly (just enough on rollers and wipe the excess) it last quite a bit longer and doesn’t muck that much.

For one product I would take something for wet conditions in drip on package. I have something from motorex.

But if the condition of the trip is right the wax is better option.
