Why shelf tape? Because its clear, thicker, and shields against rocks better, and its quite cheap. Now that I've had experience applying it I definitely won't be needing as much blue(painters) tape to hold it.

Think of it as a ghetto version of trakktape. It also doesn't leave adhesive behind and stayed on while it rained for a bit on the way to the track.
