Default ace hardware masking tape....JUNK !!!

i just bought some ace hardware brand (blue) low tack masking tape to do a checker board pattern on the tail of my citabra . first problem its not 3/4 width , its slightly narrower so i had to peel off what i had already done with the 3m. which by the way works excellent. problem 2 low tack ! its almost no tack, i had a hard time getting it to seal down. problem 3 after running my finger-nail along every edge and overlap. the paint still bled under every edge and i do mean EVERY edge. fourtunetly i had enough time to wipe off all the paint with mineral spirts befor it had a chance to set. .....spend the extra dollar, buy the 3M. ace brand is JUNK.
