 I think masking tape would work fine for you situation.  That's what we have used on our Mt. Howitzer and that was 4.5".
If you make it idiot proof, then, someone will make a better idiot.

Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin'-cool,
I walks in my old brown gaiters along o' my old brown mule,
With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
It's only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets - 'Tss! 'Tss!
