Adhesive almost frozen on this tape. I had to cut off the top 1/8" of the tape on each roll to get to a 'somewhat' usable portion of the tape. I am about to throw away this tape and buy a different brand.
I am an art teacher & designer so I use a lot of masking tape. This tape is okay once it’s been unwound in one piece but it is difficult to pick up the edge in such a way that it peels without splitting. You can think you’ve got it going and then it splits/shreds & the challenge is to pick up the split end & begin again without the problem repeating itself. This flaw is both frustrating & a waste of time— especially with students waiting for help. Come on Staples how hard is it to make decent masking tape?
I was unable to peel the tape because it seemed dry-rotted and flaked off when I tried to grab the ends. Every roll in the pack was like that. I will be returning it for a refund.
lStaples masking tape I bought is terrible. It won't peel from the roll and you keep getting little tape scraps tearing off rather than a good-sized piece of tape. Completely useless tape. I wish I hadn't bought it. I do NOT recommend Staples masking tape.
