Thank you for all the suggestions, gentlemen. There are some good ones here. You guys did a better job than the folks over at Ars Technica. :-)
I think that I will try a double sided tape as that appears to be what was used before. Picking the correct tape is the difficult part. I will look at the thickness of the old tape more carefully when I am at home. Derek, do you think that a foam core is essential? This one in the Double Coated Tape section looks promising. It is thin, and available in single affordable rolls but does not have a foam core. <http://www.shop3m.com/dt272991035.html> I may call 3M tomorrow (or after I've more closely examined the old tape and possibly put a photo on the web) and see if they know if there's a tape typically used for this application. Gregg, I like your blue tape idea to contain a free adhesive. If the tape plan doesn't pan out, I will try that, probably with the silicon adhesive that Lee recommended. I've built and repaired aquariums, so I am familiar wtih the stuff and practiced at using it. Plus, if it does not perform satisfactorily, silicon is easy to remove so that something else can be tried. And blue tape will keep it off of the parts of the glass surface where I do not want it.
