Stans yellow rim tape for normal rims

I am right in thinking i can use Stans yellow rim tape instead of normal rim tape on a 700c rim ? i have no plans to go tubeless. Just trying to save some weight.
Apparently Stan's tape is 5 grams a rim. My current Schwalbe tape is 20g a rim.
Is it safe, is 1 layer sufficient ?

Desperate to save some tape, it's expensive! Up to 60 PSI 1 layer is enough, over 60 PSI you want some extra strength

whilst on the subject my ultregra 6700 rims didnt look like they need tape so i didnt bother

Could just drill out your bidons, wear thinner socks, one fewer spoon of cereal at breakfast, spit don't swallow. All these will give you more than 20g saving...
Indeed. But i already do all of those. Im trying to go to the 'next' level.

Schwalbe tubeless products are rebranded Stans, I was told by Schwalbe UK, so.... :roll:
The first option is quite pricey at £26, is that the same tape you have MisterMuncher ?
Which width would be best for 23mm rims ?
Typically for 23 mm rims you want 21 mm tape
I can only report my experiences and what it says on the box. Also, the tape is blue, not yellow, so I don't think it's the same.
Looks like you are right...
That's the fella all right. I got 25mm cheap from Bike24.de, about 14 quid a roll, laid it in carefully, rolled it in with a cake decorating roller, and trimmed it tight with a scalpel.
