I've has the same tape on my concert IP sticks for 3 years and havent had to change or readjust once! I have taken it off a few times to temporarily put it on other sticks, and each time It comes off clean and sticks back on percect! I also recently put them on my Vega Marching Tenor Sticks. And even though those have gone through quite a beating, the sticks will break before the tape falls off. Highly Recomended!
