Never had any issues caused by tape glue leaching out on the 10+ reels I have braided line on.
Tape is the industry standard for securing braided line to a spool and almost everyone uses it as do almost all the stores that put line on for you.
Some tapes do have more glue and stickier glue then others. Electrical tape be a little slimy, duct tape can create a bit of a mess and scotch tape is tough to get off. My favourite is what I believe is hockey tape(pretty sure that is what The Fishin' Hole uses). It doesn't have a lot of sticky glue and it has a nice rough surface which the braid grabs onto good(you want to rely more on the friction then the tape stickiness).
I have used electrical tape, duct tape, hockey tape, scotch tape, heck even the little sticky pads that come on a spool of line. They all get the job done in but as mentioned the hockey tape is by far my favourite.
