Subject: [TN] Tape for adhesion testing

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,
