Potential, but not for serious, high-volume work

When working with recording tape, there are a few factors to consider: Application: How easy is it to apply? - Does it try to roll back up during use, creating extra tape? - Does it wrinkle or tear when drawing a long line? Long Lasting Color - How well does the color last? Can I dry erase whiteboards and over tape? Retention Edges - With frequent wiping of the lettering, can the tape be wiped without the edges of the tape curling up and beginning to rise? Here are the answers to the questions: An application with two people usually creates a professional result. The first person counts and holds the starting point. The second person loosens the tape, not stretching but with tension, by holding it at an angle to the surface immediately after the end of the application. Then a control plane is applied over the entire length from both sides at the same time. The removed edge has an excess that is removed with a razor blade. Tendency to break with this method: If the elongation remains low, no breaks must occur, otherwise there is a risk of tearing over longer distances. Long Lasting Color: Slight fading after 6 months use of 2 weeks dry cleaning. Edge sticking when mopping: This is the most common problem. Heavy hand erasing, which many people do when they leave the dry-erase ink on the board for too long, erases the tape from the board fairly quickly. I hope this review is helpful.
