the red on the spinner is unusual.  Presumably a shot from Signal  or the like?  Anyone know more?

I'm sorry you feel that. I find Pinterest a great way of storing, cataloguing and looking for visual references.

 

Back on topic, is that gummed paper tape being used for the masking?

if you are a member I'm sure it is,   

hint.  If image searching,  and you find a pinterest image, if you 'open image image in a new tab'  then you just get the image.

Checked the source of the pin, and someone reacted on the original page that it's from Signal;

Agree about Pinterest btw.

The tape looks indeed very much like the gummed variant to me.

Now that it has been mentioned, my memory flashed back to the late 50's and a roll of an old, brown paper type of sticky tape. As I was only 4 or 5 at that time, I can't recall much else about it.

Oh I dunno. I use Pinterest a lot on a variety of browsers both Windows and Android. just right click and save or touch the three dots at the top and 'download image' in Android always bearing in mind copyright and courtesy. Or you can simply save to your Pinterest account...simples really. I imagine Apple has a similar process. And yes the image is from Signal or der Adler I have a reprint book of several issues somewhere.
