I'm sure glad no one told me this before I did it. It has worked fine for
over a year.
Best regards,

Sorry to be so blunt but, dumb idea. While duct tape may be good for many
things, (except taping heating ducts) this is not one of them. The exposure to
moisture, air flow and flexing would soon cause the tape to dry out and let
go. As well, any contamination on the rubber, including or especially shipping
wax, would impair adhesion. That and the convoluted surface would make it
difficult to get a good "set" in the first instance. Then you add the
environment in which you expect it to operate... The one thing that duct tape
will stick to forever, is itself, sticky side to sticky side. Other than that
it dries out relatively quickly and falls off.CheersDon

Duct tape over the rubbers.
