Using Masking Tape

Scotch Hard-to-Stick tape (#2060) adheres to rough, hard-to-stick-to interior surfaces like brick, concrete, and rough wood, but it will leave behind adhesive residue if used outdoors or if left in place for more than three days. Unlike most tapes, it peels cleanly off lacquered surfaces. Not recommended for use on wallboard, wall coverings, or finished wood floors. About $5, 3M
