I use Bob Thurstons method a lot. Duct tape rules!
One advantage, we can put the tape down on race day and not worry about people trecking the paint or chalk around.
The only thing that may be a problem is rain on the day you put it down. Thats true with paint too.
Tape the start and finish. If you want a painted line, put down two tape stripes and paint in the gap. Better to make several light applications than one thick runny one that bleads under the tape.
Do not apply tape in sections, roll out in air, pull tight and lower to the ground.
Walk back and forth on tape to make sure it's stuck down all over.
Tuck one end over to make a pull tab. Makes it easy to remove. Parks like it when you clean up and don't leave paint stripes on the roads.
