Duct tape will leave sticky residue and mark the springs. About 5 layers of Electrical tape will be fine :)

And like ET said... Use the search function in future ::)

But if you rip any off it will look crap, and when replacing it if it does get damaged the residue will make it hard for a new layer or tape to stick.

I assume you didn't leave your tape on long then?
Leave it on for over 3 months or so and the residue won't let new tape stick.

I wrapped mine in an old motorcycle innertube first and then used gaffer tape so you don't get the residue problem
