Review on 🎨 3M Clear Paint Surface Protection Tape Roll for Hood and Trunk Edges - 0.5 Inch x 30ft by Andrew Sticher

Contrary to the photos in the description showing factory 3M reels, I received a thin paper core that almost fell apart when wrapped with two 3ft strips. As others have noted, it was clearly cut from a larger roll and the cutting process left some cardboard dust around the edge of the cutout. Luckily I only used this tape to secure the vinyl edge which was hidden under the speaker enclosure wrap so it wasn't as visible - this was mainly to keep it from stretching. If I had bought this for my car I would have had to return it as defective. The tape is great, but the way it's cut is messy and defeats the whole purpose of using "virtually invisible" tape with transparent edges. Also, I have to wonder what impact the cardboard fiber embedded in the leading edge will have on the durability of the tape when exposed to the exterior automotive environment when used as intended.
