| I hate the smell of china tape when putting it on, it smells like burned rubber. But putting on a professional tape is always fun |

| I love it. I use a nail file and Lovedrug china tape; comes away beautifully, and wears in so quickly. No word of a lie, best way I've found to wear it in is to leave in my pocket while I work, then skate it forfifteen minutes. Means the tape wears out too, so I get to retape :p |

| Setups are waaaaay more comfortable without holes. and it makes it easier to transfer your tape without ripping it. With the right touch it's entirely possible to remove and replace one piece of tape. |
