: I've found clear packing tape to work well, but you do need to make
: sure the surfaces are not dusty. Two really good things about
: it. 1. It stretches to provide a lot of clamping force. 2. It
: cost a whole lot less.

Warning to those looking at packing tape. Some packing tape can leave a mess of residue as well. Same for duck tape. Don't ask how I know...

I now use mostly simple masking tape. 1" wide. I use the cheap stuff in areas where there's not a lot of tension and the 3M green stuff for... areas of increased tension. No residue issues.
