Thankfully it seems the tape has now gone back to it's original quality, having been considerably thicker, stringier, extremely hard to cut and not very sticky for the last few orders.  I have only been ordering single rolls as I was so unhappy with the quality but I am pleased to say this latest roll is very different, much smoother and back to the usual quality I have been used to over the last couple of years.  Thank you Sticker Mule, I will start ordering in larger quantities again but please don't ever revert back to the thick stringy stuff, it was awful!

Back to usual quality!
