Used and been happy with Surtape (s?)  Comes in a couple of different widths (under sill plate, trunk and interior applications)  We first discovered it while at a Judges Meeting. The guy setting up the room was taping down the microphone wires when we tackled him wanting to know what the stuff was and where we could get some. We all went home with about half a roll ;)

I found a roll of 3M brand Gaffers tape at a auto body store in Omaha today. I was $24 a bit pricey but I found some on line that was 16.99 and 14.50 shipping. I think I now have my life time supply. Thanks for everyones help. Marty
