I used 3M # type 600 in the past, but beware, that there are different versions in different countries (as I found out to my horror) that have variations on adhesion stengths (verified on adhesion to steel).
Best to check out the data sheet where you are.

ASTM D-3359 is the cross cut adhesion test method that is fairly common in 
the coating industry.
IPC TM-650 2.4.1.6 is a similar cross cut adhesion test method. 

The ASTM called out the use of P-99 tape that was discontinued 
approximately 5 years ago.  The ASTM committee last reported in 2010 that 
they were still evaluating replacement tapes.
The IPC TM-650, created in 1995, calls out 3M #600 as a suitable tape.

I was curious if most are using the #600 or a different tape (please 
specify).
The tape choice question surfaced during a discussion with a customer that 
originally specified a different tape. 
I thought I'd ask others in the industry to better understand what tape 
the majority of the industry was using.

Thanks for your replies,
