What kinda canopy tape do you all use for outlining? I'll be mounting my canopy on my 4*60?

I get my tape at Lowe's, in the masking tape isle. It's vinyl and comes in a 5 roll pack in colors Red,White,Blue white and geen.
It comes in 3/4" width but I lay it out on glass and cut it to the desired width with a straight edge and razor.. It stretches and forms around the canopy beautifully ! Real cheap too !

I went to Pep Boys and bought a few rolls of various width auto trim tape. The 1/4" black looks nice when used to tape down canopies.

I have been using 1/4 in black vinyl tape for a long time and to this date I have never lost or had a canopy come loose! Clean surfaces with alcohol before installing tape.
