they talked me into it as well. Bought a whole case. Hate it. super thin though. Might be good for stripes or something

I still think the trick with any tape is in some sort of quick pre-brush/wipe, of some type of clear, non tearing glaze or something first, let tack, hussle thru 2 cut coats along tape, and remove... I just found I don't use tape enough to warrant any sort of test, but would still be interested in knowing.

Thought so.
It caught my eye the other day, I probably won't use it since I am a loyalist to the blue and green tapes.
The white tape has been great for stripes in the past.
