I have decided to use this tape but am having trouble starting it. When it finally started to peel off the roll, it was twice as thick - two layers of tape stuck together. I've only had this experience with tapes that are years old and starting to deteriorate. About 6 inches of tape came off the roll and "then broke". There is a very thin cutting line, like an existential blade. Every time I try to remove the tape to use it is already cut at that point on the roll. Apparently it was some kind of defective reel which was returned and then shipped to me as a 'new' product. I bought 2 rolls of the same tape in the same order. The first roll arrived a few days later, sealed in the manufacturer's plastic wrap. This was the second roll that came out 29 days later, was NOT sealed by the manufacturer and was completely defective.
