Best masking tape you'd recommend for Saunder Waterford and Art Creation sketchbooks on Amazon DE?

Since I heard some can rip your paper off, any recommendations that would work?

What are some good extraneous materials to have on hand when working with watercolor?

I’m not talking about the paints or brushes or papers, I’m talking about the other materials one might use like sponges, cotton balls, a blow dryer, or I’ve even seen some people using credit cards.

I’d love to hear some examples of different materials people use and what they use them for!
