I love sectioning off with my washi tape, but I also keep the replacement sheets handy so that I can place one down on my section about half way. That gives me a place to lay my hand on to work on the section without getting my hand all sticky and getting cat hair on that area.

Sectioning my canvas always helps me, too. And I don’t feel as overwhelmed by the big ones. Scotch brand Washi works really well also. But when I do use the other brands that tend to peel up, I just rub a small dab of glue stick on the corners and it works perfectly. It’s not permanent either, but it helps keep the washi down for however long I need it.

I kinda wish I had watched this video before I did my Lion Cub from DAC, I used the washi tape on a small part of the canvas, didn't realize it should only be on the plastic. I had release papers down but had wanted to align the grid better since the ones I have are not all the same size since they were apparently cut by hand. When I went to peel it off, I was afraid I wouldn't get it off, it came off but I did notice the tape's residue. After that little incident, I've basically ignored the tape.
