Ken - That you with the Gobi and blue on shields? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Is that blue painters tape? </div></BLOCKQUOTE> I have the GOBI and the blue painter's tape with the stripe. Oldhiker doesn't have the stripe, or GOBI. I actually copied his idea for the tape and added the stripe for style points.
He's been using it as long as I've known him.
The painter's tape doesn't hold up as well as the FrostKing. The blue worked fine for the weekend and held everything in place perfectly. However, an extended time of moisture, i.e.: rain and deep water, would cause it to come off.
The blue tape also isn't as tough. No branches penetrated it, but it would give way before the FrostKing.
I installed the shields Fri night, and removed them Mon morning. There was no residue to remove. Everything came off clean and the tape held great over the 6 hour drive home.
With all that said, I'll be using the blue tape from now on. Hopefully I can find a different color for the next trip.
