Re: Which tape for Shields??
Oh Alan, I wish I would have seen this earlier, I dunno if I sent some Hurricane Tape to Tellico now if it would get there.
Painter's tape is okay, I have no idea what colors they come in tho.
Have fun, watch out for roots and stumps.

Re: Which tape for Shields??
When I used to use shields  I used painters blue tape. I left it on for over 4 weeks while I cruised up and down the right coast. Even left it on while I was in South Florida for two weeks.
Downside - once it gets wet, it comes off. No residue. Painters tape is available everywhere.
Ken's tape is very good. Heavy duty with no residue.

Re: Which tape for Shields??
I've tried 3m blue painters tape, but down here with 100deg heat and a black truck it left some residue and was only on for a few hours.

Make sure it is the 3M brand, not some chinese ripoff. My truck is black and I drove for 4 weeks with the shields being taped with the 3M brand tape. I was in Margate for a week and then spent another week on the west coast of Florida visiting. Tape stayed on until I returned home to New Yawk.
