What is safer than tapes? White bond, yes. Acrylic and silicone no.
I'm sure you can tell, my position is not to tell people not to wear and to hide in a safe house. However, what strikes me is when people say "oh it's safe, if not we'd know by now." That is just a foolish and ignorant statement and could not be further from reality.
I'm wearing, and I repeatedly say that to show I'm not pointing the finger, saying.. people that wear shouldn't....I'm doing the same thing. However, to deny reality, is what I take issue with.
To say everything we do on a basis could cause harm is a silly statement. Driving a vehicle can lead to death however you mitigate by wearing a seat belt and following traffic laws. Unless I'm misunderstanding you I feel like you're saying go out and drive as recklessly as you want because something's going to get you one way or the other. That I don't agree with.
I advocate for white glue although I don't use it. It does not work with my particular chemistry which is unfortunate.
I agree there's many harmful things out there but you should always pick the least harmful option
