Why is rosin paper used under hardwood flooring?

What tape do you use for red rosin paper application?
Rosin paper is commonly used to cover wooden floors to protect them from dust and debris during construction. Only blue painter's tape should be used when taping rosin paper down to cover a floor. Rosin paper should never be used on stairs because it creates a slipping hazard. Painter's tape is used on wooden floors because it has a weaker adhesive so that its removal will not mar the finish of the underlying wood. Because of the weak adhesive, painter's tape is unsuitable to attach rosin paper to steps. Under no circumstances should ordinary tape, such as clear Scotch tape, be used.
Is rosin paper acid free?

What is rosin core?

Is violin rosin ok for cellos?
Occasionally. If it is used once, that's fine. But, cello rosin has more grit than violin rosin because the cello's strings are thicker. If a violinist used cello rosin (instead of violin), the bow hair will become very gritty and you may need to get a rehair.
