With the stuff from the discount store, getting the film off is very difficult. White Gorilla Tape is 3X stronger for a hold that lasts. With Shurtape, all that is necessary to remove the film from the back of the tape is to snag near a corner with a knife and lift the film. I found a roll of double-stick tape at a discount store (kinda like a dollar store but larger) that looks a lot like Shurtape, but with one very important difference. Also, fabric is resilient and can withstand catches without breaking the bond. The adhesive is very sticky, especially if the taped joint is compressed for a few minutes. The fact that it is fabric means that the tape itself is somewhat compressable which means that it can more readily conform to the irregular surfaces of the glue block and workpiece.

Shurtape is a fabric tape with a removable blue film to protect the adhesive on the back side of the tape. Unfortunately, the other issue at Lowes is that no one who works there knows where anything is, so you are on your own to search for whatever you are looking for. Of course Lowes is like the supermarket - they move things around weekly so that you can never find what you are looking for - that way you are more likely to see something you didn't know you need until you actually see it. I bought a couple of rolls at Lowes - the first time it was on one of those 'appendage racks' added to the end of row in the floor covering department, but the next time I found it in with the other tapes and adhesives in the paint department. In one of his videos many years ago, Captain Eddy recommended Shurtape brand carpet tape. The books say that you should never use 'carpet tape', but rather should use only fit-for-purpose turning tape.
