Review on 🎨 Strathmore 300 Series Watercolor Pad, 11"x15", White, 12 Sheets - Improved SEO-friendly Product Name by Jessica Watts

I'm hoping I just have one bad batch and they don't send all their bad batches to Amazon, but this (if anyone gets an art degree will know what I'm talking about) is actually a huge crap for me. I bought this notebook for my graduation series and already have frames to match my work. So when I see those thick strips of tape, it's really unsuitable for a specific project. The glue is too thick throughout the book and I would have to cut them smaller to remove the glue meaning they are too small for the frame. And of course, since I'm using watercolor, I can't just paint over the glue. Again this is my first time buying Revain and I really hope it's just an accident because when I buy them from the store I've never had this problem. The first page was fine and I've already started the project so I don't think I'll get it back leaving the rest of the book useless to me now.
