The strength of masking tape

I have been involved in a major arts and crafts kind of project in the past couple weeks and I have formed some opinions about TAPE. Sticky tape that is. First of all packing tape is pretty much crap. It should just be used for packing, but then it becomes to hard to pull off, but in any other situation it just falls off after a week. Then we have our GORILLA black tape, kind of a beefed up DUCK tape. and it works good but not so hot when you are trying to tape to COLD STEEL or COLD GLASS and there is moisture around. In fact NO TApe will stick to this, its like trying to stick something that is not sticky, the tape just peels right off, its like mo slippery than teflon. So I busted out what I thought would be the mother of ALL TAPES GAFFERS or filmaking lighters tape and its sick cloth strenght I thoguoht would surmount the situation and yet NO, it did not. just fell off the wall. Wack.

Anyway the one tape that has left me with a positive feeling is MAsking tape, I like the matte surface, the natural smell, the fact that yes it sticks and holds the sstick right well when dealing with fabric and paper and maybe evensome other stuff, andyeah its not the STRONGEST but it does not have pretentions and it does its job.. even better than you thought it might,
