A method of wrapping elongate material with a sheath having first and second single-sided adhesive tapes the tapes laminated to one another with an offset, a free edge of the first adhesive tape aligned parallel to the center axis such that, relative to the center axis of the material, the adhesive of the first adhesive tape lies outwards, the first adhesive tape of the sheath guided by the free edge onto the material, and wound around the material so that the first adhesive tape essentially completely envelopes the material, the second adhesive tape also wound around the material, the exposed adhesive of the second adhesive tape bonding to the exposed adhesive of the first adhesive tape, so that the material is surrounded by at least two plies of adhesive tape.
