Best tape for junk modelling?

[NumptyNu]

Masking tape is good for children as they can tear it themselves.

Thanks all. Sounds like masking tape will do the trick. Are glue guns expensive?

We're making a fictitious animal Fourforks!

sounds great post a pic when you're done, would love to see it.

While my first child is at school today, I'll be passing the time doing a bit of junk modeling door my own pleasure....

You can get a pack of several rolls of masking tape at Poundland. My class get through miles of the stuff,

We find gaffer tape best for stickability
