>  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?  


Nope. I guess I go thru  them fast enough where they don't age. 
 
        Actually if this was a  problem, you'd see it on old tape joints as 
well and I never had. It always  peels off in my experience and doesn't leave 
the adhesive behind. Maybe you got  a bad batch? Haven't heard of that either. 
Maybe you've got some environmental  problem nearby; e.g. solvents, cleaners, 
air pollution, etc.
