Title: Consider a flat tape
Review: The Shop Fox self-stick measuring tape I bought a couple years ago was not flat. It was slightly cupped like a tape measurer. It was tough, had a durable finish, and had a strong adhesive, but not strong enough to fully flatten the tape against the surface. I used one on the rail of my table saw fence, and a couple years of saw dust working its way under the edge made it come loose. I replaced it a few weeks ago with the Starrett 63169 Sm66w 3/4" X 6' Starrett Measure Stix, but theStarrett Sm44w 1/2" X 4' Starrett Measure Stixis closer to a direct substitute. The adhesive on the 3/4" Starrett tape does not go all the way to the edge (Can't speak for the 1/2"), but the tape is flat. The flat tape seems to get less debris under it, so I expect it to stay in place longer. Only time will tell for sure.
