Scotch Transparent Tape 1/2" x 450"

Very poor product. It takes way too long to remove plastic liner off tape. I am creating an entire archival scrapbook with 12 pages finished. It took me hours to rub the photos so they stuck to the page. Several days later more than half of photos no longer adhere to the page. Would like to know why this product is still on the market. What is the recompense? How will 3-M compensate me for a failed experience?

I use this double sided tape to mount photos and have multiple dispensers since I use it a lot. However, recently, while using this tape, the very beginning of the roll, the tape splits and I end up unable to restart the roll. I tried several different times trying to free up an end to start using these rolls again. Very disappointing.

We tried and tried to get this tape to separate without success. THERE ARE NO DIRECTIONS ON IT. We are not stupid. Finally I decided to look on company website for directions. NONE. I read the comments and see the response to pull out 8". I have never used double sided tape before - why would I think of doing that? Frustration! Annoyance!

Bought a 3-pack, despite reading the negative reviews about the backing being hard to peel off. And then went through the same frustrations... until I realized that THERE'S ONLY BACKING ON THE FIRST 6-7 INCHES!! Roll out that section, cut it off, toss it out, and the rest of the roll is ready to go. No backing to peel off. No frustration. There are no instructions on the packaging (which I have to admit, just one line of "How to get started" on the box would probably help those of us who are, apparently, less smart than tape). The only instructions are printed on the part of the tape that you're supposed to remove -- a little awkward to read since it rotates and is printed in six different languages. Alas, after trying in vain to remove the "backing" from first part of the roll, it suddenly became apparent that the part of the tape that says to "Unwind this protective wrap" means exactly that: unwind it, and remove that section of the tape and you're golden!

I spent too much time trying to figure out how to get the double sided tape to work. As a last resort, I looked for web information and/or videos on how to work the tape. Finally, I got the help I need here. Hey, why were there no dirrection included in the packaging
