It's probably because the backing of the Gorilla tape is porous and the
solvents from the glue are evaporating through the back of the tape.

About the only thing I can think of are either improved ventillation or
to cover your Gorilla tape with packaging tape (which does have an
impermeable plastic backing:

Thanks for the info. *Unfortunately, the way the project was completed, it is nearly

I'll give the right answer, but you got to show a picture of what your
doing.
I hope its not bondage. !!
