I've had this band for about a week now. I hardly used it and was careful with it. The plastic wrap will peel off the underside of the blade. I've had problems with the return of the tape. the cupped shape of the blade is also uneven. The bowl is buckled between 11 and 23 feet. not the quality i expected from a fat max. I have had several Max fax tapes and they have been excellent compared to this one.
