3M Kapton (polyimide) high-temperature tape, silicone adhesive type. No 
PCB lab should be without it :)
Good to about 300 Celsius (so vaguely usable as a temporary 
coarse-position solder mask), and peelable with little or no residue (if 
you get the 3M stuff).

It's fairly hard to find on the open market (IIRC 3M class it as 
"business-to-business sale only"), but DealExtreme stock it, and there 
are lots of folks selling it on ebay.
