You have read what SR wrote in the way that fits your needs for your case here.
Seems that Josh and I plus countless others know what SR meant by their warning and we have had great success with the aluminum tape without issue.
You use your mailing and duct tape and we will use our aluminum tape.
If you have never tried the aluminum tape you may give it a try. It is super strong and comes off clean unlike duct tape. It also does not become brittle like mailing tape so easily does. Give it a try, you just may like it.
Now that the dead horse is SUPER dead I will leave you all to play with tape, probes, and snakes.
