Hands down Scotch Strapping Tape 8898 or equivalent. Stays on strong, comes off clean. This is the type of tape you see on new appliances. Not 100% waterproof, but better than most. Stays on also in refrigerator.

Also metal tape is good. Stays on strong and is 100% waterproof, but not as easy to remove.

Whatever tape you will use, you might need to use some goo gone after pesach.

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

This tape is 100% waterproof and usually available at your local Home Depot. Unlike the strapping tape it doesn't come off residue free. You will need to use goo gone.

And if you take it to a cabinet it may take some of the finish with it.

Indeed.

I use it at the seams between the corrugated plastic covering the counters.

Tuck it under the counter top,there's no need to go to the cabinets all the way below, unless you're using masking tape which is quite gentle you can do it all the way down.

Jewish local hardware stores sell "counter tape" in clear or white which leaves no residue whatsoever. Simply the best
