I am about to really throw a wrench into things. If tape is not legal because it is not listed as an allowable material,
then staples are also not legal. A careful reading of the bumper rules shows that if we take a strict interpretation of only allowing items listed in the rules, then we are limited to 3/4" plywood, pool noodles, sturdy cloth, aluminum angle, wood screws, and some unspecified attachment system.
So, who is going to ask Q&A about staples? Any takers?
