TickiTape

Post by Rowana »

Went to my local harware store on the way to the boat last week and bought 2 rolls of masking tape.

Arrived at boat, and after the obligatory brew, taped up my deck to apply new anti-slip paint.

Applies said paint, had another brew, then went to remove tape.

IT WAS EFFIN' STUCK SOLID

2 whole days later, a gallon or three of white spirit, a knackered old credit card (scraper), and a vile temper, I have it all off.


FFS, Don't buy masking tape of the "TickiTape" brand
