[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a roll of Scotch Expressions Washi Tape free to from 3M to evaluate. I love it the designs is very nice. It will be good for many things like scrap booking, wrapping presents,also for the kids to do crafts. .

So many reviews saying the same thing. It's hard to get the tape off the roll. Why doesn't Scotch respond with replies of any substance? Just the copy and paste, "thank you, we're sorry, please call us..." Maybe it's time to start taking care of your customers, before they're gone.

I bought this tape and have used your products. This roll is like some of the other complaints. I have to use a sharp knife once it rips and tears. It also seems to have and overlay of tape on the sides. The product just doesn't seem to be up to par.

I bought a roll of this masking tape in 1.5 inch width from Office Depot in Prince Frederick, Maryland on June 20th of this year. The tape would not come off the roll without tearing down one side or another, giving only short pieces of triangular shaped tape. Then it was extremely difficult to get the tape started again after which it would promptly tear again. Thus the product was essentially useless and as far as I am concerned totally defective. Huge waste of money for what used to be a quality product. DO NOT BUY.

I had for several years been using Scotch brand Blue tape for a specific project. I recognize the desired tape by yellow icons printed on blue: EdgeLock, 2093EL, and ScotchBlue. However, my most recent purchase had plastic covering over the surface of the tape that prevented me from discerning the desired product from labelled as "original." I mistakenly purchased the "original" and do not want to spend a great deal of my precious time testing to see if it works as well as the desired product. Since product reviews are not easily found, none were made.

This is the worst masking tape I've ever bought. Why would you ever make the glue stronger than the tape? It rips 100% of the time that I use it. It takes a long time to pull up the end and use it again. If I didn't already know of the Scotch brand, I'd think they just didn't know how to make tape. I'd say buy 3M but they own Scotch so I question their quality now too.

Sometime in the past 3M must have changed to a thinner crepe paper for their masking tape. It is impossible to peel the tape off the role without it sticking. Other people are complaining about the same thing. It's not worth saving a few pennies on manufacturing if it makes the product worthless.

I figured this brand would be good, wrong it's so thin it keeps ripping , I ended up tossed it in trash , I thought it was made in china surprised it's made in Canada ill never buy it again I guess ill stay with gorilla tape . No point in complaining to the company they probably just ignore it.

This just has to be the strongest masking tape ive ever used-And only will use-Theres lots of other out there-And as the word saying goes-You get what you paid for-You buy the cheaper stuff-And the results show-It does not peal off good-or it rips to easy-or it does not stick verry well-I use it for everything-From painting inside and out-To craft projects-or for masking off lines-Or for even holding things together while im gluing something together-And this works the best for when your putting a border of stripes on the wall when painting-Just put a laser level up against the wall-on where you want to paint your stripes-Then mask off the area where the laser line is-You get perfect lines-And then use the same color wall paint that the rest off the walls color is-And fill in between the masking tape-Let it dry -Then paint back over it-Doing it this way-Will prevent the color your painting in between the tape prom bleeding through-So if your looking for the best tape to get-Here's the brand to pick

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would recommend this line of product to all, it serves the purpose that is intended and some that are not intended to (kids taping items to the walls and doors). Although it is durable and has staying power, when needed it removes easily and doesn't fail to stick or difficult to remove like most generic brands. I use many different products, the masking tape is the most used and the Pop Up tape comes in handy especially during the holidays.
