Tamiya modelers masking tape is available in 3mm, 2mm and 1mm widths - the narrower it is, the tighter it bends. Car/motorcycle painters' masking tape is usually 5mm, which I think is the blue tape Rick Stefani is using in the D&D Cycles video. Not sure but I think the ultra-thin Tamiya tape has just recently become available - I watch scale modelling videos on YouTube just for the workmanship and I'm sure it was previewed in one of them (like a lot of folk, I suspect, I've got a stash of scale models that have been on my to-do list for decades but (as with cycling up until ten years ago) I've never gone back to it since I was a teenager!).

Don't know if it's overkill - the 5mm tape might curve tightly enough, but the thinner tape should even cope with Nervex lugs, huh?
