Duck tape: is there a brand that doesn't leave sticky residue [or is there an alternative]?
I want to use something like duck tape to hold down some plastic drop
cloths [and some carpenter's rosin paper] onto floor carpet. However, duck tape [and to a lesser degree, "gaffer's" tape] leave a sticky residue if it is left on the carpet for very long. Ideally, I'd like to leave the tape on the carpet for 3 to 6 months. My experience is that masking tape doesn't have enough "sticking power," in addition to the fact that it, too, leaves a very sticky residue after a short period of time. Does anyone know what type of tape will be kept on the longest without leaving its glue? [Even if I can't find something that will last 3 months without depositing its residue, learning about something that will last longer than duck tape will be useful]. Thanks. Bob |
