tapechip
one of the great things about gafftape it that you can put it directly on a lamp, up to 1000 watts, apparently. this little guy is only 60 watts.
the thing is: the tape will stick, and be totally happy. but if you continually turn the lamp on and off daily over the course of... oh... say... three months, the adhesive will stay stuck to the lamp while the cloth crumbles and cracks away, becoming very much the brittleness and color of blue corn tortilla chips, at which point the whacking of the lighting fixture with anything so delicate as a twelve foot ladder will result in a little fake-blue-corn- fiestornado.
