It can be extremely difficult to distinguish between a core gapped this way, and an ordinary glue line.
Unless you measure the core with a micrometer (after removing tape etc. and cleaning the surfaces) before disassembly, and measure again after reassembly, you wont know how accurately you have re-established the original core gap (or lack therof).
