Default Door Panel Water Shield Black Tape

Trying to decide on the correct black tape used to hold the paper splash / dust shields over the door. It's a 2.5" black tape...I'm leaning towards Gaffer Tape. It's water proof which makes sense. Curious what others have used on their restorations. Thanks!

I recall Steve Shauger mentioning the 3M cloth friction tape is close to the one used on assembly lines.

I thought they used black caulk strips for the paper splash also. That's what my cars had.

Though I normally find the black tape at the top of the paper, it was on the bottom on our Yenko. The tape was a wide black masking type tape which I replicated. There was also the black strip caulk as well. This is pretty indicative of what I find on every car I tear down.

Well, I had replied before and realized you said it was waterproof. I've seen black paper tape most of the time. It seems like they used black chalk and tape to help hold it in place. The black tape I've used before for, for things like light bleed from a gauge package is an "artist" tape. It's used a lot on stages and displays. There's a sorta semi flat and a flat black. The brand I've used before is made by Shurtape. Shurtape has a website. There's a staging place near me in Burbank that sells it. I haven't seen it in 2.5", but they have a 2".

Possibly similar to the black tape used on the Camaro subframe mounting holes?

Good point. It would make sense that they would use the same water-proof tape throughout even though it would be applied much later in the process. I'm going to go measure my original water shield tape to check the width. That CRG thread has a bunch of "guessing", including me on what the floor pan tape with was.
