Maintape Perfect Tear Plus is one of my favorites...cheap and works well. Get mine from Fellers. When doing wet (which sometimes we have to do) applications on autos, we squeegee it all down...spray it again....then start the next piece. Come back and the tape just about falls off the graphic. Sweet. Try that with Clear Choice on a wet install. Ain't happening.

Sorry it took me so long. Never looked at mine. It's high tack. That's the only one in the Fellers catalog too.

I like conform R tape. I tried another brand that was low tack for wall vinyl (631) and it didn't work at all. I buy all my sign vinyl stuff from signwarehouse.com.
