What would you like to use? Tape is one of the prefered methods. Either thin tape, primered over for butt joints or masking tape for over lapping joints. You can also score the lines in primer using a sharp object like an awl.

I take it to mean he dosn't want to use tape itself as the panel line. The prefered method Bob refers to is to use thin (1/64) tape to indicate the panel line then apply a couple of coats of primer, then sand down(lightly) to the tape.then remove the tape leaving a small groove or depression where the tape was. Then apply your color coat over the primer.

Look at this method.

Doing the fiberglassing now.

I like it, will do panel lines as he shows.
