Our no more war policy that has led to bombing of plants all around the Middle East is going to start wreaking havoc on our industry again.  Chem plants that make the main components in everything we use in this industry are gone.  Manufacturers can't get the raw materials they are used to.  You're going to start seeing it.  Not quite Covid era, but there's going to be some problems coming up.

I`ve always taped the screens as soon as they`re stretched and never had an issue. I`ll try the degreasing first to see if that helps. Thanks!

We recently went through something similar with our regular screen tape, it started leaving terrible residue. Had been using
it for years and out of nowhere....

It makes me wonder if the current economic climate is having manufacturers dabble in less expensive components.
Shrinkflation so to speak.

That said we've tried nearly everything on our newmans and always come back to the 221. Hopefully it is just a bad run.
Some people recommend Gorilla tape but that was as bad or worse than the yellow when we tried it.

Lastly, you are degreasing before applying the tape correct? New mesh can have residual oils that will cause this issue.

I`ve been using the 221 White Polyken tape for years. I`m not sure when it happened, but it doesn`t stick to them screen mesh like it used to. It peels off most of the time.

Any suggestions for a replacement tape? I`ve used the yellow Newman tape, but it leaves a heavy glue adhesive on the frames.

I'm not sure / haven't need to do this but this place has a ton of laser parts are great prices:
https://www.aixiz.com/

I bought several parts from there to make my own 4 laser system before Lase-it and other companies existed.  No idea if an exact fit to replace the M&R one is there but I bet you could make it work.

Update 2:

Some lightwave nerd forum on the internet confirmed my suspicion, to block light that spans the
uv/visible spectrum you need colored filters, yellow is best for our purpose.

Installed this film:

And tested 305 mesh with lights on for 8 hours, no exposure.

will it open adobe illustrator files?

Yes, but fun fact, if you change the file extension from .ai to .pdf, Acrobat will open them, and Corel will import them.
