Great problem with Tamiya. It is paper & when they cut from a huge long roll the edges are not smooth.While that may be, I like to stick with things that I know work every time. Tamiya products do this. They always work.
Just like their paints. The acryllic X and XF paint line just work. You can thin them with acrylic thinner, lacquer thinner, and even water. They just work.
There is a price to pay for things that always work like they should.
Plastic tape, in general, have a better edge due to the material.
Best with Tamiya, which I do not use, is to cut an edge on the tape with a sharp Morton blade.
Also ensure it is not wetted to much in airbrushing as the paint will seep on the edge
Other major problem with Tamiya it does not go around corners.
That is why I am using NITTO white tape. No seepage good edge & it is superb for going around even very acute bends. Also has a superb release.
