What happens here

If you find it difficult to start peeling the protective liner from the aggressive side of the tape, you can use a technique to make it easier. One method is to rip the tape about a quarter of an inch down the middle, which can help in splitting the liner. Alternatively, some professionals use an X-Acto knife to score the liner slightly, then twist the tape to separate the liner cleanly. This makes the tape ready for the plastic sheeting application more smoothly.

Goal: For easier application, a technique can be used to facilitate the separation of the tape's protective liner from the aggressive adhesive.
