Put the white on top of the yellow, this will give your springs more protection.

Duct tape leaves yucky resisude I've found, so put it on over the yellow tape.
If you ever take it off the residue won't be on the spring, you can simply rip off the yellow tape and have a clean, residue-free surface to tape onto again

If your cut all the tape and rubber sleeve off you could use clean film to cover your spring before you re-tape to stop glue getting on the spring and make it easy to change next time !  :o ;D

Just wrap them in cling film before you put the gaffer tape on then you get no residue and the gaffer tape is very strong especialy if you get the thick cloth stuff
