Split on using gel vs tape for drops: what's your go to?
I started out using gel filler on every single drop like the old guys taught me. Swore by it for years. Then last month I did a job in a 1970s building downtown and the gel just wouldn't set right in the cold crawl space. Had to redo three drops. A guy on site told me to just use tape and move on. I tried it and honestly it was faster and held fine. But now I'm wondering if tape is going to fail on me later in the heat or something. What do you all use for sealing drops and why?

Man that's rough, I feel you on the gel freezing up in cold spaces. I've been burned by that more times than I want to admit lol. Tape's been my go to for years now, haven't had any heat issues with it yet.
