Masking tape

[Marc]

For years I have been battling with older yet perfectly good masking tape rolls, that tear off all the time because the sides have dried up. I end up throwing them in the bin.
Yet today I tried something that worked like a charm.
I soaked a rag in lacker thinner and cleaned the sides of the roll with it. Result? no more tear off, it's as good as new.
Cheers!

Bugger - I just ditched two almost full rolls away yesterday while doing a small paint repair on the car. The dog still won't come into the workshop after all the swearing and cursing from trying to unroll a bit of tape without it breaking. Great idea
