Please, where can i get the big blue painter tape?

For PLA I have had excellent success with a Polish brand called Blue Dolphin bought from a high street hardware store in the UK. http://www.ebay.de/itm/BLUE-DOLPHIN-Clean-Easy-Removal-Painters-Masking-Tape-48 mm-x-50 m-/182033717399?hash=item2 a620 e1897:g:uXwAAOSwG-1WzJx7

Michal B. asked:
Has anyone tried the kapton tape and is there a difference between it and normal painters tape.
Cheers
Craig G. replied:
I just bought PET tape and have the first print going now and so far so good. The problem with painters tape is you can't get a good surface. I've been using just glass and it sticks most of the time but not always and the PET is supposed to stick very well and let go when it cools off just like glass https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G2HIGTQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Lucas P. asked:
Who prints PETG on a glass bed? I've been having issues with it bonding to blue painter's tape at any temp. Is it worth the $30.00 for a borosilicate plate?
Mike R. replied:
Regular cheap Lowes or Home Depot glass works great! I bought a thermal pad and cut one inch squares and layed them out like the dice number 5 dots. Perfect and dont have to worry about the warpage of the plate affecting the glass.
Olev P. replied:
PETG sticks TOO well to borosilicate, it has pulled chips out of mine when cooling down. Printing PETG now on normal 3 mm window glass, sticks well and has not broken yet.
