If you’re having trouble buying console tape locally, it may be because you are asking for the wrong thing.
We call Shurtape 724 “console tape”, and it has been the tape of choice for sound pros for console marking for many years.
It is actually much more commonly known as “artist tape”. Graphic artists like it for doing layout work because it can be removed without damaging surfaces and can be re-positioned and still stick.
You can find it at art supply stores and stores that specialize in crafting supplies.
