I tried the tape trick for inside some boxes, but found it was hard to fully remove after I cut the top free.  I didn't have access to remove the tape from the inside which would have been ideal as you did.  The interior ended up being a bit frustrating to fully remove.  Maybe I used too much glue, maybe the tape was too tight to the bevel, or maybe something else!  Taught me patience on getting the interior corners cleaned up.
