Found it at Lowes. I used it on a model and found it to be superior to
the general beige masking tape and the blue painter's tape.It left a
sharp edge and there was no bleeding underneath.
FrogTape by Shurtape. The size I bought was .91" wide by 60.1 yds long (
24mm x 55meters). It comes in a round green plastic (airtight?)
container that can be used to store the tape after each use.http://www.shurtape.com/ProductHomepage/tabid/79/ProductID/196/Defaul...

I tried this stuff last year and the paint still bleed under it. Maybe
I didn't burnish it well enough. I suppose that after reading the
info on the box I expected a miracle...

Did you try hitting the seam with a coat of the color being covered
first? I've come to find that doing this helps to seal the edge and
prevent the next color from creeping underneath the tape. The last
time I overbrunished the tape, it lifted some of the original
color....
I use common or garden sellotape (scotch tape) and have never had a
problem. The one time I tried Tamiya tape the paint ran under and I
had a hell of a mess to clean up. Can't see the point in spending
model money on expensive masking tape when it is not necessary.
