I've found clear packing tape to work well, but you do need to make sure the surfaces are not dusty. Two really good things about it. 1. It stretches to provide a lot of clamping force. 2. It cost a whole lot less.

: I used it when I needed more clamoiing pressure than regular
: masking tape could provide, and when holding the deck to the
: hull when bonding them together. I had some brand X type but ran
: out soon and to get somemore. I found the Scotch brand (3M)
: "Extreme" 2" wide tape to be well worth the
: money. The fiberglass strands are woven and there was no
: adhesive residue.
