My interpretation of the rules may be incorrect, but I believe the last couple years (well, this year at least) that duct tape was an allowable substance. And please note that I'm doing this by memory so I may be off. If you'll notice there was no ban on adhesives this year and they may have been on the additional hardware list. Anyway, duct tape is most definately a fastner and without the ban on adhesives, duct tape should be allowable.
My understanding of this is as follows:
adhesive-epoxy, super glue,jb-weld, etc (allowed)
duct tape-adhesive + backing material (not allowed)

Now, if you wanted to make your own, you could probably get away with that, if you could find a good backing. Note that electrical tape is specifically allowed in the AHL(revised Update #2), but ONLY as an electrical insulator. Based on this, I'd say that no other types of tape are allowed. But, that's just me...
