Supplies

I'm working on a storyboard and am using 3x5s on foamcore board.

Is there some kind of colored tape that you can put on a board like that to mark off areas, but comes off easily when you're through with it? (I suppose if it sticks hard it's not the end of the world, either.)

Anyway, colored tape? Would I find something like that at Office Depot?

I know I've seen colored electrical tape and that would probably be your best bet as it goes on and comes off easily. Where to get it is another story though as I don't have a clue other than at your local hardware store.

I just saw an advertisement on tv for painters tape (like masking tape) that comes in several different sizes. I believe it's made to be easily removable after a painting job is done. The colors were purple, red, and blue, but am not sure of that. Wasn't really paying attention to it, but it looked like the different colors were for different purposes, like putting over paint that isn't thouroughly dry yet, and for masking off stripes on walls. Maybe Ace Hardware or Home Depot would have it.

A hardware store seems a good idea. Thanks.

I was at Office Depot and found red drafting tape, but it was so narrow it wouldn't work for my use.
