I bought this stuff some time ago the other day I painted up a body and was getting ready to trim it. I have used the double-sided tape Scotch brand applied to a brass plate to stick to the side of the body. Well, it sticks way too much, and you almost tear the body apart getting it to release. I saw this hanging on my wall and it is Poster Tape, designed to release easier, and it does. I took a 3/4 " brass strip applied a 1/4" strip of this tape cutting it essentially in half with my X-Acto knife. Pulled the backing off, lined it up on the body, and made a cut. When the cut was made I was able to remove the plate from the body a lot easier than the double-sided tape.
