Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Johannes, I saw this post of yours and have been considering this as 
a solution.  My primary concerns are: 

Will the tape last?  Will the foil last?  Would the foil somehow rust 
or corrode (due to climate issues [I live in the North East USA where 
it's pretty damn cold right now, and condensation concerns me, 
perhaps foolishly])?  How would the foil affect the contacts on the 
pcb?

Any insight?
