The paper backing over the adhesive strip can be bothersome and if you should drop the roll while wrapping, it all unwinds. This is not a problem with Tressostar tape since there is no paper backing, but your color choices are limited..
Now I tear off 12 - 15" of the paper backing and re-roll just enough so the roll won't unwind should I drop it. That way I can focus on getting the wrap the way I want.
