Im looking for lifting tape for windsheilds and back glass. I have used 3Ms tape, its blue in color, made of tough plastic and comes in different mm sizes. It has a hard edge on one end that you tuck under the rubber. The problem I have with it is its hard to go around corners with it and its a pain to cut to size. I used some tape real simmilar to it the other day but I forget the brand name. It was brown in color and was more like masking tape material. It had perforations about every 2 inches and was very easy to tear and turn corners with. It worked really well for me. Does anyone know what Im talking about and where I can get it from?
Any help would be great
I use playing cards :pcorn: 52 for a $1 B)

sorry, never seen the tape your talking about, sounds like a good idea…i know what you mean with using it on corners.
I can’t seem to find a link to the actual product I use, but it’s very similar to this:

Thin card does work well in some circumstances though, but I’d never thought of using playing cards!
doesn’t intertape/american tape make one. that might possibly be the one your talking about.
Youre the MAN Andy! Thats the stuff Im looking for :exci The exact stuff I used! Thanks! Now I just have to see if my paint supplier can get it. This is what I love about this site!
I’ve used business cards once. Only once.
That follex trim tape looks good. How much is it??
OK why do I need this stuff? and how is it used properly?
ya use it ta hold rubber mouldings off the pnl your painting ya shove the stiff part between the pnl an rubber moulding an pull it back an tape it back :wak actually works pretty good in the right situations i use the 3m stuff maybey i can post some pics
Don’t worry Dennis, Now that that Intrepid is gone, you probably won’t be working on anything new enough to need it. :whistle:
It just lifts rubber trim off the panel your painting.
I thought thats what it was for but I was saying to myself How in the heck is that stuff going to help or work on Chrome trim? :exci :rofl
The junk I do is just to old
