Twice the price for low quality paper in the tape but glue does give edgelock

I have used Scotch products from the early 70's as they were the best for painting a car. I was aware of the short tape life with the standard yellow tape and never left it on for more than a couple of days.
I started using the blue tape while painting my house. It solved the tape life problem but didn't have the grip of the yellow.
Now, 3M has the "Edge-Lock Blue" and at twice the price but didn't use a high quality paper for the tape. Why? The edge-lock works very well but the product quality is poor because the paper is so weak. It tears as it is being pulled off the roll or worse yet, when removing it after painting.
Because the tape tears so easily, it take hours to remove and all the benefit is lost just because of a very low quality paper. Please note I have used about a dozen rolls of edge-lock tape and some rolls (the one I'm using now) cannot even be removed from the roll in one continuous length (this forced a review).
My disappointment is with a brand I used to trust as the best.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to give a Rating & Review to our ScotchBlue(TM) Painter's Tape for Advanced Surfaces 2093. We would not expect any of our tapes to sliver or tear off the roll or off the surface it has been applied to. If this occurs we would ask you contact us directly at www.scotchblue.com or at 800-537-9514 M-F 7:00 am to 6:00 pm CST so we can further assist. We would also like to recommend looking into our Automotive Tapes we have available. Over the last several years many tapes have been added to the line-up to allow longer application time and the ability to paint fine lines or even pinstripes. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on our product! You can also expect an email from us shortly to follow up.
Makes painting a breeze. With this product, I don't have to worry about being a little sloppy. It applies very easily and the clean-up is just as easy without any worries or problems. makes painting so much easier!
This product has the greatest features I've yet to encounter!

No matter what surface I've been forced(?) to paint, this tape has always come through for me. Clean, sharp edges are always left behind in spite of my poor painting skills. I am a paramedic by trade, but am quite often relegated to painting by my neighbors and "friends". I'm glad I can rely on Scotch brand products to come through each and every time!
I tried a different (green) tape first.Well,lets just say that it did not work as well as it should have.The lines were not nearly as clean as I thought they should be.Then I used the Scotch Advanced Multi-Surface and there was a huge difference.Cleaner lines with barely any bleeding that was very easily touched up.All in all a great product.I am still using the blue Scotch tapes in all my work.Great product.Would recommend to all.
I am a messy painter, so I avoid repainting any room in my house. I really needed to refresh the paint in my bathroom and thought I would have to hire it done. One day at the "Big Box" home store I discovered your tape, so I bought it thinking "what have I got to lose". Not only did it live up to it's advertising but it turned me into an, almost, expert painter. I finished my bathroom in record time (and it looks great) and I am going to buy more paint and start on my living room. The simplicity of the tape makes any painting project so much easier. Tape, paint, and peel ... it's that easy. Thank you for such a wonderful product. I am now a "do it yourself" professional, at least when it comes to painting.
IF YOU HAVE EVER TRIED PAINTING STRIPES OR ANY OTHER GRAPHIC ON YOUR WALLS WITHOUT USING SCOTCH BRAND EDGE LOCK PAINTERS TYPE YOU HAVE BEEN PUSHED TO THE POINT OF ANGER. THIS IS THE ONLY TAPE THAT WILL DO WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO WITHOUT FAIL. CLEAN, CLEAR AND CRISP LINES ARE ALWAYS THE FINAL RESULT. NO MATTER HOW MANY COLORS YOU USE OR THE TYPE OF GRAPHIC IT WILL POP!!!!! YOU WILL NEVER USE ANOTHER TAPE.
