Chris,
I meant to say Specialty Tapes. I have a customer named Specialty Industries. Duh! Here is their info.
www.specialtytapes.net
800-545-8273
The stock item I use is a 6" x 25 Yd. roll. It is called Lazer's Edge, and is item CW-5764-625. $25 per roll if you buy onesies.

Jim,
When you vector the material, you will also create an outline that will end up being deeper than the rest of the blast. I would not recommend vectoring, but it can be done.
Another factor you need to take into account the amount of time you would spend weeding your image.

Chris,
I've seen duct tape and sometimes masking tape used in areas where etching isn't desired.
I suppose the thickness of the covering would depend on how hard you're going at it, with regard to nozzle pressure and the depth you're trying to achieve.
