Yes, I've done this.  However, I've found that solder joints often puncture through the tape causing shorts.  One way to fix this is to put something like thin, stiff plastic or cardboard on the solder side of your circuit before taping.

I save the plastic from all blister packed products that come into my house and cut pieces to fit the inside of the enclosure. Also its a good practice to make sure the solder side of your boards are trimmed well using precision cutting pliers.
