I am planning on a staple-less build and am ready to tape the edges of my forms but see that the hot glue (for wood) holds but seems like it pops off easily if I use clear packing tape or blue painters tape. My forms are melamine covered particle board. I did a test with both tapes and the plain particle board edge. When I pulled up on the cedar strip some of the wood stayed on the plain edge, but with both tapes it came off will only moderate pressure. I also tried on the melamine directly and was impressed with how well it held. So I could tape the edges and trim it off cleanly, so only the raw particle board is covered with tape and then if I have trouble with the hold be sure that the glue is contacting the melamine too. There probably is a better solution.
