    Hi,

    No the hot glue won't melt the wires - just be careful not to touch them with the hot tip of the glue gun and you should be fine.

    And definitely get the tape out of there ASAP.

    No. Get that tape out of there pronto, please! Hotglue is just fine, but if you're really worried, pick up a low temp glue gun.
