Took me 3 hours to figure out a simple stem wrap issue

I spent a whole Sunday afternoon trying to get bridal bouquet stems to stop slipping out of their tape, only to realize I was using the wrong kind of floral tape from a batch I bought six months ago. The tape had no grip at all once it was warm from my hands, and I must have rewrapped the same three bouquets four times. Has anyone else run into a supply problem that made a simple task take way longer than it should have?

Yeah I actually read somewhere that some floral tapes have a paraffin coating that melts a little with body heat. Sounds like you got a bad batch or the cheap stuff.

Wait, the tape lost its grip just from being warm in your hands?

Nope @the_jessica is right, sounds like user error not a bad batch.
