Another style more widely used in the entertainment/movie industry is
called Cloth Backed Gaffers Tape. It features a strong cloth backing,
not plastic and a better adhesive. It will not turn to mush and leave
gobs of hard to clean off adhesive all over your finish. Its available
in a number of colors including a few flourescent ones.

But , you can't find it at your hardware store , or Walmart and its 2-3
times more expensive than a good quality pro level gaff tape.

I had no idea there was really was a product called "gaffers tape", and
I'm amazed at the difference between it and duct tape. Try

Summary for gaffer vs. duct: twice the thickness, twice the adhesion,
three times the tensile strength! And a Permacel type with 4 times the
adhesion - yikes, there goes the gel coat!
