Stopping fuselage halves sticking together.

You know the best tips are always discovered quite by accident,take this evening,I was just about to build side two of a flat fuselage and was looking around for some scrap polythene pieces to place between the two sides to stop them sticking together,there was a roll of good old fashioned sellotape on the bench,suddenly'ding' a brainwave flashed in front of me ! why not put the sellotape on the joints underneath instead ? it is easy to place the tape from the top to bottom of the vertical pieces between the longerons,much easier than fiddling with small pieces of plastic sheet,and it works brilliant as well,allow the sides to dry,remove side one,pull off the tape and job done ! I cannot believe that I have not done this before,the adhesive does not stick to the tape.
To make the tape easier to pull away simply bend over a small portion,much the same way that you do when using the tape off the roll and trying to find the end.
So I offer this new tip to you here to use yourselves,try it,it really works.
