I'd never use masking tape again and now use black electrical tape.
Electrical tape can get gummy and could loosen up.
I found some narrow ty-wraps that were long enough to get around the engine mount tube.

Here's the engine hook with one ty-wrap in place.
Don't over tighten, you could bend the tube.
The wrap is too narrow and the engine hook can slip to the side.
Most Mylar retention rings are 1/4" wide.
Two ty-wraps side by side prevent the engine hook fro side to side movement.
You probably couldn't use a ty-wrap on a 18mm mount in a BT-50 tube, there just isn't enough room between the tubes.
The 18mm mount would be fine on a BT-55 or 60 size tube.
