That's correct. You build a channel for the winding with the tape. Being it's an antenna transformer it's not critical to have the same number of turns. You can measure the resistance, get the physical size and a close number of turns and it should be sufficient to come close enough to do the trick. Maybe even add a few turns for good measure.

Hot glue is good.
