So, we can interpret the answer as not disallowing tape, but disallowing any means of attaching the noodles to the wood?
I might buy that. I still wish the GDC would be more clear in their answers. Sometimes they give the basis for a ruling:

Q128 Q. The rules state that solenoid values must be no larger than 1/8" npt. Does the same apply to air pilot values?

A. No. However, air piloted valves which are not Solenoid valves are not listed in R77 and therefore not a legal pneumatic component.

In this example, the question was answered, and a basis was given. It is very clear why a piloted valve is not legal.
but often they just give a one-word answer with no explanation, as they did in the bumper/tape case. Without a basis, we are left to determine what the basis is, and how that affects our interpretation of the rules.
