And as far as using "tape": we're not talking about duct (aka "duck") tape here!
I'm old enough to remember when "scotch tape" actually ripped paper if you tried to pull it off. They don't make it that way anymore...you can peel it off paper
now, without tearing the paper and then go on to re-use the tape on another item, lol. It's safe to use as I described.It just doesn't stick that well...
