Well, I had (have) to laugh. Today I was out in the shop and, remembering this thread, I looked at the inside of the roll of blue tape I am using. It is Blue Hawk. I can't say I have had any trouble with it sticking. In fact, I have been a little annoyed with it peeling off a few little slivers of wood when I take it off. Maybe you got a bad batch or maybe I just got a good one. I am nearly through the second roll of a stack of five or six that I bought as a unit. I see no reason to stop using it.
