What kind of tape to use while glassing/bondo ?

Quick easy questions:
For example, what are these guys using ? Would that Green frog painters tape from Home Depot be good enough ? I see they wrap their Ipad/Nexus in tape then use it to glass around. I assume the tape is sufficient to prevent liquid resin from getting all over the tablet ? What do you suggest ? I was thinking of putting an additional layer of plastic wrap as the base layer around the tablet to provide a water tight barrier against the resin/bondo. Do I need any release agent or will this stuff not stick to the painter's tape ?
With a small project like just forming a backing plate / surround, can I do this in the basement without stinking up the house ? Its at the freezing mark here and I'd rather work inside than out. What's the coldest you can work with glass/bondo anyway ?
