REFLECTOR: Tape on windows

[John Dibble]

Thanks for the tip.  I have a few uses for that.  Any idea how it
compares to painter's masking tape?

  The windows were completely covered with overlapping 2" tape. It looks
  like an inexpensive vinyl with a light waffle weave pattern. This tape
  has been on the plexiglass for 10 years now and when you remove it
  (believe it or not it still peels off), it leaves no residue. Over the
  years I've done a lot of damage to this tape and have been looking for
  the same to replace it. No luck.
  A tape that leaves no residue is a big deal to most homebuilders. The
  other day I had an epiphany. Gaffer's tape. It is used for everything
  in the movie industry. It has a reputation for sticking to anything
  but also being easy to remove. I ordered some from amazon $12.00 for a
  2" x 30ft roll. It came today and I have been playing with it sticking
  it to different surfaces and removing it. I think it may do the job.
  Of course it will have to be on the windows for a year or so to be
  sure, but so far, it's better than anything I have tried.

  Just something to consider
