Does anyone else have problems with this stuff, it dont stick to the
glass, I have no problem with black, and copper tape, just the sliver,
and if you dont have a problem what brand name tape are u using?

Couple of tricks,

try heating it up somehow, hairdryer? warm oven? activates the acrylic
adhesive sometimes... or lightly wipe it sown,(Pain In Ass) with a old rag
with MEK, not much cause it will dissolve the adhesive too.

Call Venture, or whoever sold the stuff, and put in a complaint, bet you get
some rolls to try...

I've heard of Venture having that problem a long time ago, I thought they
fixed it, unless that is an old roll. I prefer the other brand, it doesn't
have a name on the package but I think it is Edco. It seems thinner and
more flexible and usually sticks well. The black tends to ooze out when
soldered.

Yes I have a batch of Silver that sucks too. One of my customers swears by
foiling with pieces that have been on a hot plate!

The only time I had that problem, I came at it the other way, warmed up
the tray of glass pieces. Seemed to work OK

Having tried both Edco and Venture, I've decided that the best way to
apply silver back foil is to not use it.
