Word of caution, Well, First consider that often I do some stupid thigs but someone might avoid a feeling of stupidity should the heed my caution.
I built a Computer work station and coated it with several coats of Polyurethane and was pleased with the results, been about a year now. Back to the story. I was wrapping a package and had not any package tape but did have a roll of Duck tape... I tore off a strip and just toughed it to my desktop to hold it till I get the item ready and I could recover and secure with the tape (I know you have done so with Scotch tape and others) Well, when I lifted the tape I saw a patch of the finish had disappeared, Carefully I looked and there it was on the back of the tape (sticky side) and in the shape of my fingertip where I placed it.
Never had this happen before, am sure I did all the requirements for adhereing finish and after a year I am sure it was dry but that adhesive was strong enough to blister and lift the top surface.
Be advised and heed this warning, should you be stupid enough to follow my lead... Duck Tape is some nasty stuff.
