Green/Yellow PVC sleeving is the way to go, using tape is just plain rough !

Perhaps you have a bit of old 3 core flex hanging about. You could strip a bit of green and yellow insulation off it, and slide it over the bare earth wire - if it's big enough.
Yes - the one about good workmanship and proper materials.
No, it's for identification - it does not meet the requirements for insulation.
Most PVC electric tape is rubbish and comes unstuck after a year or two in hot/cold conditions.
Then you are left with a sticky bare wire.
Use sleeving, you know it makes sense.

The requirements will allow for a bare earth(CPC) cable to be identified by use of tape, I personally would not and would purchase some green and yellow PVC sleeving.
And the tape is not electric nor an insulator.
