I was going thru walmart getting some supplies to start a second mold im making (brushes,tape,gloves) and found that Duct Tape makes a tin foil masking tape. I bought it and instead of layering expensive blue painters tape or using tape-spray glue then tin foil-more tape you can just put one layer of cheapest painters tape you can find, one layer of the tin foil tape, then one layer of the cheap tape. This allows for a very close mold to the object ur molding and cuts price and time a lot. I hope this helps anyone. let me know cause it worked great for me

The tape he is talking about is the vent tape that you seal cracks with for heating ducts and vents. It's good stuff and sticks well.
