Do they make tape that is meant to hold transfers/vinyl in place while heat pressing?

For vinyl numbers, I use a glue stick. (like Brylcream, for you fellow old timers,  a little dab'll do ya)

I can't remember the details about the brands or whatever, but I remember reading there are two types, one that looks kind of gold and one that looks kind of blue and one of them sucks.  Don't remember off the top of my head which is which, but maybe someone else will chime in.

I've used Stahl's blue version for more than twenty years and haven't experienced any sucking yet.

I have a roll of the 1/4" wide blue high temp tape.  I watched a kid seal up a box with it....he couldn't find anything else.
