Jb, this "special" binding tape that StewMac sells is just low tack masking tape which you can get at any hardware store. I also use tape for my bindings. Haven't had any problems and it's easy. You do however, have to be sure the tape you use is not very aggressive as you can pull small fibers off the top and back when peeling the tape of. Tom, apparently the StewMac tape is HIGH tack, NOT low tack. I think the idea is that there is extra adhesion to grip the surfaces and keep the tape firmly in place. Its also got an extra rigid backing, meaning that it stretches less than regular masking tape. But I haven't tried it, so I can't say if it works. I just remember seeing a DVD about Archtop guitar making, and the guy said the best thing to use was "filament tape"... basically a regular tape, but REINFORCED with filament strips for a firmer hold with less stretching...
