If you want to try cling-film you can do what I do - buy some bog-standard cling-film from the supermarket, then slice off rolls with a stanley-knife. It takes a while to do, and as always you should be careful when handling sharp knives! But one roll of cling-film turns into about 10 little 2cm-wide rolls that will last you a couple of lifetimes.

Yes, cling-film loses its clinginess when wet. But it is invisible, lighter and more flexible than teflon tape, and you can wrap and pull a section directly from the roll. I find that if I do that with the teflon tape I end up choking the reed, so I have to wrap and then cut to length with a razor. If the cling-film comes off from particularly deep soaking, I just wrap again on in 3 seconds.
