Lee Valley Tools also sell self-sticking (but nothing-else-sticking)
silicone tape.  It is NOT re-useable, as you can't pull it apart after
it's been stuck!  They also sell a tape called 'Gaffer's Tape', which
apparently is favoured in the film industry over duct tape because it
doesn't leave sticky stuff on things and doesn't shine.  Bonus- it's black
so it won't show up... the silicone tape is a brick-red color.

180' of Gaffer's Tape is $17.50 cdn, plus shipping, and tax...  the
silicone tape (sold as 'High Friction Silicone Tape') is $12.95 for a
1"x36' roll.  Silicone tape will really, REALLY stretch however!

You might find more info at www.leevalley.com but I can also supply you
with the details.

No financial interest, but I love the neat things they sell...
