Cling film for me.

I usually start it on the reed so it covers the wire (only a couple of wraps on the reed) and then wrap it so it covers the binding with several wraps so if it does unwind, there's still plenty to be sure it's sealing.

If you do want a belt and braces aproach, apply clear nail varnish, then cling film and them more clear nail varnish to stick the cling film down with.

PTFE tape is also pretty good stuff.
