Typically, I apply the flooded 3-M heat shrink directly over the
connector 
and out onto the coax for several inches. 
http://www.rogerhalstead.com/ham_files/connectors.htm Applying tape over
the 
connector part would certainly make it easier to get apart.  Without the

tape it's pretty much a permanent connection you'll probably throw away
if 
you take it apart.
