I can attest that Tuck Tape, used for taping vapour barrier seams, works really well, perhaps too well, as it leaves some of the red colour behind. I taped over my engine panel opening, and it was still held tightly after a few months of winter rains, with no leaks. The red colour appears to come off easily from my painted cockpit, but porous gelcoat might be a different story, so a clear tape, like HD packing tape would be safer.
