I see a major difference now! At first glance they are alike......but the Pactra is very............vinyl-like. The Tammy tape is........well, like fine pliable paper tape. Glad for all your input! I hope mine helps!  nam, Yes, the tape is very stretchy. You need to cut it as opposed the ripping a piece off.

Yep.....first thing I noticed, thanks! Just from curiosity I'm delving into a couple searches about the adherents....eh! It's a slow day!

I picked some up ages ago, from a LHS and was not happy with it. After only a short time it left residue on the masked surface. Long term masking was far worse.

It needs to stick first,theres not enough glue to leave residue. I was working with it this morning, it sticks for a short time then falls off. Also while spraying if your psi is at 15 to 20 the tape tends to blow off the area masked. Maybe my rolls are old? They came sealed, so Im left scratching my head.

Ahhhhh........residue issues......I hadn't thought about that! Thank you!

I must say that the rolls I got have excellent tack. I'll test and report!
