I love this tape as it has myriad uses. This version is the normal width of the normal Magic Tape. I use to stick pieces of small artwork in an album (but used on the back of the image, as otherwise lifts paint or collage areas), as page marker, bookmark and any other use that I would give to a normal sticky tape. However, it is low-tack and I can lift it and reposition it easily, so it has a longer use life. The dispenser is light and the guillotine cuts easily and cleanly. The only thing I dislike is the length of each roll, but this three-piece package makes do for it.
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.
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.
