The absorbent polymers such as used in this tape are pretty amazing however being hygroscopic I wonder if it is packaged in a solid container to protect it from our humid conditions down here in Dixie. Shurtape says it is to protect it from physical damage but I wonder.......:icon_scra I like the idea of non bleeding edges but I would hate to throw away a 1/2 used roll simply because I left it on the bench rather than put it back in the plastic container. I guess my distrust of advertising claims in general is showing. :wsmile:
