Use a marking gauge to trim tape
Works when you need it thinner than the roll.
I use a lot of painter’s tape in my woodworking, and I often need strips thinner than my roll. To trim tape to width cleanly and quickly, use a wheel-tip marking gauge on the roll itself. You can cut as deep or shallow as you like, depending on how much tape you require.
