I did not specify 3M; but they do have 5 different blue painter's tape. https://www.scotchblue.com/3M/en_US/...painters-tape/
http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1...face-guide.pdf


Here is one, STIKK brand:
Amazon Amazon
Product description



Blue Painters Tape is a multi-use tape featuring a specially formulated, medium tack adhesive. This works for textured and semi-rough surfaces which gives the tape the tackiness it needs to adhere to your surface but still allows for clean removal for up to 21 days. If not overheated, your surface will be damage free and clear of residue. Blue masking tape is also UV resistant, so it can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Please NOTE: Surfaces must be clean, dust free, and dry before application. While the surface of the tape is moisture resistant the adhesive is definitely not. The adhesive is pressure sensitive and heat activated. Make sure you really press it firmly into place when applying and get it as warm as possible in the room to secure the adhesive. The dryer and warmer the installations are, the better the adhesive will attach.

REMOVE ASAP! The adhesive in painters tape is known as semi-permanent removable. If you leave it on for over a month then you will have great difficulty removing it. It will tear and leave residue behind.

Still waiting to read where you came up with the 48 hour thing.

On the off chance that someone stumbles across this post a couple years from now looking for a similar answer, I just wound up parking close to the fence, so the door couldn't be opened on that side, by anyone looking for a free radio , and drove the bike around for a couple days. Never really came up with anything better than that.
