If your a sun fanatic i would consider making/buying a telescope for looking at the sun and mounting the filter permanently if its something you do all the time for long periods and your a sun fanatic. i would say tape is a bad idea, especialy if your somewhere it gets hot as the suns heat will cause the tape to loos adhesion.

The light would never get a chance to reach your eye. On smaller scopes, say under 4 inches, it would be able to physically burn your eye, causing permanent damage.
