Funnily enough we couldn't find any gaffers/duct tape in the shop. This was with regular electrical tape more to test the wiring. Reflection undoubtedly was the problem.
That said, I was impressed with how well the sensor would detect a single stripe of electrical tape at 6" or more. Calibration is easy too.
