PROKIT RG2902 Masking Tape (25mtr x 36mm)

Nothing fancy about this masking tape, but it does the job for a fraction of the price of a major brand. I use it mostly for pre framing painting sheets and is easy to stick and reposition. I tend to paint over the masking tape and it does not bleed through, but if I'm using spray painting, it would go under the tape, and the same if I the acrylics are liquid. My main concern is that it peels off the paper when removing it. I use thick watercolour paper, so it's not the paper, it's the tape sticking glue. I'd love if they made it in another colour or a bit darker as this one is the same colour as the watercolour paper I use and it's difficult to distinguish the edges.

PROKIT RG2900 Masking Tape 25mtr x 18mm

This is a good masking tape for the price. I mostly use it to frame paper sheets when painting. Easy to stick, lift and reposition. The only downside for me is that the colour is so similar to the painting paper colour that I sometimes cannot distinguish the edges.

UPDATE 7/6/22
I've been using this tape for several months and my experience is that, beyond what I said initially, it ruins my watercolour paper, as this isn't low tack. This especially happens when I have the tape on for more than a couple of hours. I tend to heat the tape before removing it, so that the glue softens, but, even then, the watercolour paper I use (180 mgs or 200 mgs) gets damaged. In all honesty, that's the same experience I have with more expensive brands, so in that regard is as good as any major brand, but not good enough for my needs. I won't purchase it again.
