The blue and green masking tape is perfect for masking up paint and varnish work before applying the finish but if the rolls have been left around for any length of time you will know how frustrating it can be when the tape only comes off the roll in inch long pieces and not unroll as it is supposed to. Before you go mad and fling the roll into the corner of the workshop microwave it for 10 seconds! The heat will soften the adhesive and allow the tape to smoothly unroll as intended saving your blood pressure and few bucks into the bargain.
Another great masking tape lesson! I will be sure to use this tip. I am still using the last masking tape tip from you which was the zip lock bag for storing masking tape. Simple idea that I never thought of, no more fuzzy edges. Keep the tricks and tips coming!
