Question for those of you who use blue painter's tape

Post by Country4ever » Wed Oct 28, 2009 5:57 pm

I've been using the 1" multisurface painter's tape for at least a year now. It works great at keeping the air in and doesn't hurt my skin.
But, I've developed a white spot in the middle of my lower lip. I wrote the company and got the list of ingredients in the tape and they all seem pretty benign. I think the middle of my lower lip ends up getting the most moisture.
Anyhow........anyone else get this from using the blue tape?

I have not noticed anything like that and I also use 1 inch blue painters tape, although not every night.

Are you sure you aren't using Blue DUCT Tape??

Trust me, it's NOT the same thing. (Don't ask how I know...)
