I have a Class 0 appliance, but not enough 3 core flex in stock. As a

Class 0? So older than 1975 ish? And not fairy lights (nothing worth earthing).
Do tell - what is it?

Lol, you people. Its a Hoover Dustette. CPCs can be single insulated, as all T&E is, but can it be wrapped round the flex in the manner once used with 2 core lighting circuits?

And yes, if you really want to bolt an earth on, the CPC could be bare
metal for all it mattered, so spiralling a bit of single insulated
around the main flex would be fine.
