As an artist I can't say that I use this product conventionally... because I don't. But it works for what I need it for. It is just a tad on the weak side in the sense that it sometimes tears or breaks when you don't want it to. But other than that it seems like pretty good quality for the money.
We make a loop around two fingers sticky side out remove then stick to the underside of paper plates that we feed our cats on. This keeps the wind from blowing them and also holds them while the cate are eating. This is inexpensive and disposible. Also clean as we use new plates for each feeding.
Tape is so fragile that it frequently tears when pulling off a piece - then you have to hunt for the end of the tape to scratch it up to restart a piece to pull off again - very frustrating. The stickiness if not bad so that the tape is usable primarily as labels or to remove lint from clothes. The tape would be a really good value if it were a little thicker and a little wider. Definitely do not use it to mask items when painting because it is so thin that the paint can penetrate it and stain the material underneath it.
I am a teacher and I use masking tape alot. The price point on this tape was great. At first I thought it a little thin but it works well and that's all I can ask for. I will be buying it again and recommending it to my colleagues.
