I tend to have thinner densities, and my trick is two coats of white glue on top of the blue liner to kill the shine. First coat lays down a base, let it dry and them SMEAR the second coat on the tape for a completely shine free attachment. Works with other tapes too, but is most effective with blue liner since blue liner tends to be more glue-like to begin with.
