However, I have a question regarding taping off the black and white wires. I presume I would use electrical tape...is this right? Thanks in advance guys.

Don't do any isolation before you thoroughly inspect if the equipment works, there are no buzzing noises, problems with grounding etc.. Check the middle positions of the pickups (usually there is a problem there if you wired incorrectly, they can sound nasal or weak in loudness compared to primary positions). If everything is OK, then isolate all the joints properly. Also, if you are using tubing, don't forget to put it on one string since after you solder you cannot put it on (unless you cut it in length, but that can make a sloppy isolation with bare points. Hey dude, maybe you can do a video tutorial about it? that would be incredibly useful for a bunch of people i'm sure! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
