3M 2060-48MP 1.88 in. x 60 yd. (48mm) Scotch Rough Surface Painters Tape, 25482

I've been buying a roll of rough surface painter's tape about once per year for the last decade. I first used it to tape around the edges of a small single-step side porch surrounded by matching concrete, so that gardeners and other workers would not trip and fall due to not noticing the porch was higher. It worked very well for that! And I've used it for taping down a long electrical cord to cork flooring, to prevent tripping during the installation of new windows. Now, my 7-yr-old "inventor" grandson artistically uses it often for creating buildings and contraptions out of used cardboard and other recyclables. It's easy for him to tear off and quickly apply, all by himself. And I use it to firmly hold paper and canvases in place while my heavy-handed grandkids draw and paint at their wooden art table.

Luthier here: 2060 tape is excellent for work on lacquer finished guitars. Not other tape by any manufacturer works as well. I have left this on an acoustic for months with no damage. It has slight stretch so good for binding, etc.

This green tape sticks well but tears easily when removing. A plastic backing might work better. The blue exterior tape also worked well on slightly rough surfaces, but now it's yellow and does not work as well.

I tried to use it on cedar trim. It will not stick at all!
