It also helps protect your paint from interior rubbing...drywall fiber roll and shoo too is the bomb!! Some wooden Popsicle sticks help you spread it nice too

Drywall tape works good but will break.
I want you find some drywall tape and try and pull it apart. It is very strong and cheaper than window screen. Also the advantage is you can place the self- adhesive tape in all the parts of the body and come back and brush on the shoe goo. With the door screen material you have to work section by section. Both methods help your body last longer.

I also use the drywall tape. Its bigger holes allow me to add the shoe goo in a very thin layer. My truggy bodies last at least twice as long since i started using it. I go around the body holes, front and rear fenders and between the fenders. That stengthens the body where it cracks the most and keeps the added weight as low as possible. So yeah its extra weight but its less then a wrap and it makes the body last so much longer its absolutely worth it. BTW I almost always am in the A main.
