BTW, what is the shelf life of Scotch 33/88? I have had several rolls
go "bad". The adhesive pulls away as it is being un-rolled and
partially sticks to the "top" of the tape. I think the last roll that
did this
was about 4 years old. As a result, I always use "fresh" (what ever that
is) roll of tape. Anyone note this problem?
Most definitely. Two years ago I went to a garage sale of a retired
electrician and bought 20 rolls of Scotch 33+ that looked new and
were in their original packaging. Every roll had the problem described
above. All were useless. I wonder what causes it.
