Complain
Pulled paint off when removed
Paint peeling disaster
Pulled all the paint off when peeled back
The adhesive is way too strong
Worst tape
its relatively sticky
It's not perfect as I do get some damage to the paper surface on removal. using student grade cellulose paper

rubbish
too narrow for taping down all
These look small
Very very small roll
The tape itself is quite thick and robust; not particularly attractive. strangely stripy structure to the paper.
Small rolls and thin not the traditional thick rolls
the paper is perhaps a little thinner
