Art Advantage Gummed Paper Tape Review

Anyone who says it holds up is right. I work with 140# Fabriano Artistico, always stretched. My first try pulled the paper tighter than the drum; This literally caused my gatorboard stretchers to bow in slightly, causing the paper to come off the board by about 1/4 inch. I've tried everything over the years, this is the first tape that absolutely sticks to paper. To protect the deckle edge, you need to soak the edges for a while until the glue softens. If you don't soak it, it will definitely…

Works perfectly. But if I'm thinking of buying a PACK of watercolor ribbon, I don't expect 1 roll of ribbon to be twice as wide as I need. Yes, it was late at night. And I've been drinking. But a roll of tape is not a PACK of tape. It's a damn roll of duct tape. A roll is not a package. So check your PACK tape definition. I could get 3 rolls of tape for the price of one roll. I could have bought Damaller buns for $3 each and liked it better. BTW, I think I'll go back to using regular Lowe's…

It even sticks to the wooden board I glued it to and literally WILL NOT come off - I've tried scraping it off with knives and re-wetting - it's essentially turned into cardboard superglue and won't come off. .I thought…
