Hi Mike,

Blue tape is junk compaired to the green. I get mine at a SW paint store. The kind I use I think is the 3M brand not the frog stuff. The key to the green is it stretches and holds good, like a clamp. I went green on Kurt Maurer's recommendation and will never go blue again. Check out Kurt's web page and see what he said.
