Auto body shops used to use it for stone guards. They just applied the clear colorless type on the painted surface. Maybe they still do.

That gave me an idea
Take an old kevlar glove and cut into strips that you can layer under regular tape too hold it in place.

All three ideas sound like really good options depending on the availability. Now I wish I'd hung on to my my Kevlar glove when I replaced it.

Dull Knife... Isn't Gorilla Tape just an expensive version of duct tape???
