Default 1/8? wide tape

Hi all. I?ve followed a few people whom have used that thin tape for your perimeter shapes because you can radius it tight,etc. I checked Lowe?s doesn?t have it and not even our local sherwin Williams store had it.

Anybody know where to get that? Would be nice to finish up my aft skirt and I have my intersection fairings yet to do. Jcarne and Stus aircraft shop used it in his awesome vlogs.

Thx

Default 3M

Most auto parts sell 3M fine line tape.
I also make my own if there's no harsh solvents. Definitely use 3M if you're painting.
