[TowerTalk] Tape problem?

[Ken Kinyon]

I have seen this before, in fact yesterday on a roll of duct tape.  My
experience is that this happens when the tape is stored for a period of time (my
guess is a year) at warm temperatures.  I am guessing 85F and above.

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.
