I've been using some Golf Grip Build Up Tape from GolfWorks that was great. It was the perfect thickness and size to use to build up underneath my grips.

I use the green masking tape and some very sticky hairspray. I let them dry overnight in front if a heater and they're ready in less than 8 hours. They blow off really easy, hold very well, and the grip can be blown off looking brand new inside.
Feedback
Old thread, same question. Anyone know of any regular brand masking tapes that are .0075" thickness for build up purposes? To achieve 1/64th or .015" increase with one wrap. I've heard that the golf works stuff is different now and not as thick.
