NetHeads, I just thought I'd throw something out there about what's become my favorite non-stick tape, electrical. Don Reid was the first guy I remember mentioning how good this stuff was, in reference to masking off the canopy while making the frame. I used duct tape originally, and upon removal, the sticky mess was quite an ordeal to contend with. Although I usually use lacquer thinner to deal with such stuff (as well as epoxy cleanup), I was afraid it would etch or craze the plexiglas, so I used denatured alcohol instead. But then I remasked parts of it with electrical tape, and I just love the stuff.
Electrical tape will follow complex curves, and will even bend around corners. I just finished adding a lip around my canopy where it meets the aft deck, and one piece of electrical tape masked the deck and folded down between deck and canopy without so much as a wrinkle. It also has no texture like duct tape does, and comes in 2" and 3" widths. Packing tape is good if you need something ultra thin, but it doesn't stretch so it can't follow curves, and it's bad about wrinkling. Harbor freight sells some fine electrical tape for something like 50 centers a roll, so it's not as ridiculous as it sounds...
