Gaff tape on carpet

Our team ordered some of the Pro-Gaff "grey" tape that is listed in the game manual as the tape that will be on the tracking line. Unfortunately, when we tested the sensor on it, there was absolutely no difference in reflectivity between the tape and our carpet. We have read from FIRST that we should just use something shiny for testing and then recalibrate at the competition, but have any other teams had this experience with grey gaff tape? The tape does not look at all reflective to the eye.
