I defer to Mr. Church's expertice.
However if you do use gaff tape (on other things
) get the very best you can find. Yeah the stuff is expensive as rolls of adhesive tape go, but a ~$35 roll lasts a few years for me and the lack of headache from goo, hard residue, lack of decent adhesion and often less than square right-angle ripping of inferior gaff tape is easily worth it. It's a wonder tool!
