Excellent, but you still get that Tanglefoot crap all over your planes from the other guys! ( HATE that stuff!)
What 2-sided tape are you looking at?
Carpet tape won't work. (It is VERY hard to peel off the backing paper
3M "Adhesive transfer tape" is a PITA to use.
Don Veres and I use a tape found at Toledo but I don't know who makes it.
It's about 5/8" wide and the backing peels very easily.

I use transfer tape on top of blue masking tape, comes off easily,would work better if I actually could get close to other streamers :)

Hey, we found some double sided tape from Home Depot that the backing comes off real easy and the stuff is just about as sticky as a thin film of tangle foot but you do want to put down the blue painters masking tape first to peal it away when your done. It's called Rhino tape and is clear with some black criss cross fibers in it. it's better than the Harbor freight stuff that takes forever to get the backing off of. Give it a shot.

I went to the Home depot here but they do not carry rhino tape unless it is somewhere other than the adhesives aisle.

Go to the carpet section. That is where the tape is...
