Attach clips with tape? I wouldn't. Not to mention how loose tape might compromise the hold of the clips, you'll have some of the sticky side of the tape facing into your hair. Your hair will get stuck in the tape, and will really complicate removal when you go to unclip the clips. Unless you use a solvent, you'll be pulling your own hair out for sure. If you need to use solvent, you might as well just skip the clips and use tape!

As I'm sure you've discovered in your research, clips are usually sewn onto the base with clear thread, sort of like fishing line, and moved frequently to prevent traction alopecia.

I'm not trying to talk you out of using clips because I've used them too, just your shortcut method of putting them on the system.
