Alien Tape Review: Does This As Seen on TV Tape Work?
Today I'm testing out Alien Tape, an As Seen on TV multi-functional, double-sided tape to see if it really works and if it's reusable as the ads state. Watch a short update after 1 year: • 10 Product Review Upda...

I’m 69 and have owned one house and rented countless apartments. I use steel sewing needles carefully driven in at a 80 degree angle. This works well on dry wall not plaster walls. It holds most weight up to 15 pounds. Make certain that the picture wire is against the wall. I once used three to hold up a piece of driftwood! The great thing is when you move and remove the needles you can’t see the holes!😊
YES ! We used T pins and they hold so many things like pictures and lights weight things.
Great advice😊
I'm 80 and have used needles for many years for hanging pictures.
Nice anything on masonry , or no ? Like masonry screws for the fences? a wooden fence? That fence in the background of this video, where he is talking from, would it be safe to mount on a wooden fence surface for 3 or 4 months like that ?
I am going to try this!!
Alien Tape: "Use it in your shower!" Also Alien Tape: "Try some water to loosen it" Also Alien Tape: "Rinse with water to make it sticky again"
😂😂
That's the "alien" in Alien Tape
There isn't right or wrong cuz ... Alien :D
Lmfao
🤔
I saw this in a commercial and i was so impressed i decided it was too good to be true. I’m very glad nowadays there wonderful people like this guy that test products and allow the rest of us be smarter consumers! Thank you!
Project farm does these similar tests but scientifically
Totally Agree👍
I use alien tape, and it's really good. I put shelves in a closet with just this tape, and it's solid as a rock.
Thank you for testing this product and destroying your two rugs, a painting and the patio !!
I really don’t understand why this dude’s videos are so entertaining, he could review a paper clip and I would still watch lmao
He seems genuine.
Because he cares.
Genuine and likable personality
The paper clips that return to its original form when It is put in hot water. (that was the fastest like I have ever got)
His sex appeal
Come for the reviews... Stay for the sunglasses!!
I am such a sucker for ads. I don’t know why, but I always believe them and I’m so disappointed when they don’t meet my expectations. But I’m starting to check independent reviews such as yours, to get the real results. I was going to buy this tape, but after watching this video, I changed my mind. Thank you. Thank you for saving me from wasting money. I just subscribed and I look forward to watching more of your in-depth testing and honest reporting of the results.
Debunking claims is Freakin' awesome! I love your reviews. They are entertaining and they save people money too! That's a winning combination! Thanks!
Those glasses at the beginning was the reasons why everyone kept watching 🤣🤣🤣
Im confused with the Alien Tape. They say to help the removal from painted walls, you should wet the edges, but you can also use the tape in the shower? And if I'm not wrong, its a WET environment. You can't have both option for like two opposing uses/features.
In those scenarios, the tape is on two completely different surfaces. It could have a different reaction on different surfaces.
You put the tape on when the surface is still dry ...?
But you also have to wet it to get it sticky again.
@@Its_just_Dave. dats what xhe/xim/xer tweeted
@@aname2772 she?
Honestly this was the best review channel I’ve come across, THANK YOU!!
Thanks for sharing that this tape is no good on painted walls. You saved me some money and I enjoy your videos which are so informative.
its ALIEN when one of these as seen on tv products work.
Hey oh!
If you want good tape, you gotta use UHB or VHB tape by 3M. UHB tape is the best tape out there. Nothing sticks like it. It is permanent. They build tractor trailers with the stuff. I know of a guy who attached solar panels to the top of his motor home with the stuff.
@@alexiswilson3769 if I am not mistaken, it's removable with citrus. You also get what you pay for. It ain't cheap. But no other tape even comes close.
I use mouldable glue (putty) it's a lot better for putting stuff up
@@Ryanrulesok if you are talking about funtack-like (usually blue or yellow) putty-it DOES work for some uses. The problem is that this stuff is oil putty, so it eventually stains whatever it is attached to. So for example, if you put a poster up(one of the more popular uses for this stuff), both the wall paint and the poster end up with oil spots on them.
Those glasses are ridiculous lol
👽✨
Both pairs
I was thinking that but I've just realised that they were probably intentional. 😂
With the first pair he looked like Boris the animal from MIB3 lol
So much so, he had to change.
Man, I love Bailey’s cameos. Always my favorite part of the reviews. ♥️
The dog that does nothing is your favorite part of the video?
@@jimroscovius Yes. Yes she is. Do you have a problem with me enjoying a cute dog?
Excellent product review. Thorough, informative and entertaining. Great job!
I used to have Alien on tape, but then I upgraded to DVD
You have won the internet sir 😂👍
@Perry M and thats why its so good
@Perry M I aim to please :P
nice one lmfao
Hi, Justin Bassett-Green, The only thing missing is the drummer... Badum ching 🥁 Thank you for the laughs. Take care, stay safe.☺️✌️☮️🖖😷
Cue "The X-Files" theme music 🛸
I've been seeing the advertisement's for this item. The demonstrations of all the different ways you can use tape is what sold me and the price wasn't bad. After I saw how good it performed on Tv I was ready to make a purchase. Then I checked out your review and you performed the same projects around the house just like they did and they all failed. Thank you, you saved me money, time and headaches when trying to use the tape cause it won't work properly. ty
You should check out project farm! He does this but more scientifically
and saved some non-buyer from valuables crashing to the floor
Never buy anything from tv
"In case you're wondering, this isn't my shampoo. I don't really need it." Funniest part of the whole video. Still though, I love the style you've got going, especially when you're rocking those glasses.
James your videos are awesome! Keep up the amazing work you do on every single video! I have avoided many products based on your reviews, thank you man!
Loved this entire video! The alien glasses were awesome! And their idea of putting an iPad up on the back of the seat seems like it’s just inviting someone to try to break in and take it (along with whatever it’s still attached to!)!
Excellent point
This has been used for decades in the RC industry (remote control)!! They call it servo tape, and can usually buy it for $3 per roll.. if you can still find a hobby shop thats open ):
I haven't tried alien tape yet but I have tried nanotape, and the thing is you have to clean both surfaces with isopropyl alcohol before gluing and then hold it in place for about 30sec. If you do that it sticks really well, if you don't it's probably gonna feel like the worst tape you have ever used.
Yes, cleaning with soap makes it hard to stick to as soap repels.
My use to put something on wall and when she wanna take off together , it came out with a piece of wall 😅 too. It's strong thing
I've seen similar tapes here in the UK and same issues they stick when they want to, I think its similar to the double sided gorilla tape but at least they don't claim that it's reusable lol
Dont stop posting James, I love watching these, I have tinnitus and its much easier sleeping with something like this in the background and just the straightforwardness I love watching your videos.
From one Wheeler with tinnitus to another. Telling a guy that his videos put you to sleep may not be the highest praise.
Same. Also have buzzing in my head and my entire body sometimes the whole bed vibrates. I moved but it wasn't underground digging. It's been going on for over 2 years now, though not consistently. The upside? I started to understand life, where I went wrong and how my reactions to other people all stemmed from a few instances in my childhood. I was dying- no lie, I was. I'm completely healed and that includes tumors, head injury & every organ that had shut down. I stopped meds & I credit Jesus and that crazy buzzing that started as ringing in my ears. The secret is to not fight it. Let it wash over you, allow the ears to take it in, let it flow down the back of your neck, feel the tension in your shoulders melt away. Welcome the reverberation inside of your soul. Imagine all of your pent up resentments packed so tight, now shaking loose. Release them into the white light of the Holy Spirit as they no longer serve you. This is not tinnitus. Suddenly millions of people around the world are having this experience. People don't just wake up by the millions and get tinnitus then become spiritual. But people are waking up to the truth. And we are finally healing.🙏🤍love & blessings.
Tyler from Tylertube reviewed this and actually put it on his painted wall. Although it didn't pull up the paint there was a big bubble. He also took the tape off very gingerly and he didn't hang anything up, he just tried a small piece of tape on the wall. Don't use this in your house unless you plan on repainting after using.
If it's used to attach an object, you couldn't peel it gingerly because you couldn't get to the edge of the tape to peel. Then it's got to be ripped asunder along with the wall surface or object surface, whichever comes first-
Alien Tape worked well for me on trim that fell off my truck cap. I cut small pieces and it is moldable and pliable and therefore worked fantastic. I also used it on the pedestal of my concrete birdbath to secure, balance and stabilize the water bowl part to it. It acts like plumber puddy tape and forms into cracks or unlevel areas. It worked great as it allowed for self leveling between the pedstle and the water bowl and allows for adjustment and is removable when you want to take the bowl off in winter. I can see there is a definate place for it.
You know 3M makes a better adhesive. That's what the car manufacturer uses. That cap will fall off soon.
I also used it to stick a device to my dash that Velcro wouldn't hold. It's still never come off. Only time I used it, but it fixed a very annoying problem.
You’re doing it in red hot conditions. Outdoor in London is very different to outdoor in Vegas. But yeah, not as advertised
@@AbortionIsMurderAlways anytime no-choice-for-women.
Which London? First one I think of is in Ontario, then England.
@@AcornElectron There are so many birth control options. How is that not choice? Abortion has always been legal for rape, incest & mother's life in danger. So that leaves the everyday woman. Are we so oblivious that we can't figure out how to make the choice to use birth control? There is the day after pill as well. So if you don't use birth control at the time, you can purchase over the counter medication that will stop you from becoming pregnant. Between all the kinds of birth control & the day after pill. Doesn't that cover everything? Abortion is also a surgery that disrupts a normal function for the female body. We are made to have children. Our bodies are not made to be treated to something that is so violent and not as safe as planned parenthood leads people to believe. After 3 abortions a woman can no longer carry a child to term. Holes are often made in the uterus during abortion that will kill the mother if she isn't transported in time to a hospital that can help immediately. Why are people pushing that having a violent procedure should be used as birth control? What about personal responsibility? Your choices should be made before you have sex. I also don't understand why this should be an issue for society, or the government. Your sex life is just that. Your's. The government aka the people should not have your personal responsibility shoved in our faces. Nor should we pay for something that has zero to do with the constitution of the United States. There is no where in that document that says the government & the people should pay for those who make bad decisions in life. There are consequences to choices. People need to deal with their own consequences. Making the whole country deal with your dirty laundry will only continue to make people less knowledgeable and more dependent on the government. I've been in this scenario. At the age of 18. I was pregnant. My boyfriend and I wanted to keep our son. Adoption was not for me or him. We fought to keep our son. We fought for each other. We took responsibility. And almost 37 years later we are still together and we have more children. And because of our experience we taught our children about personal responsibility. And that society is not obligated to you for your own personal decisions in life. Another abortion argument. There is not too many people on the planet. In fact there are not enough children being born to take over for the jobs that will be available. Just because there are people who want women to have abortions for their own personal gain doesn’t make it right. Planned parenthood deliberately builds near black communities. That's as disgusting & racist as you can get. They only offer abortions. They do not offer anything else for woman's health. Abortions are not healthy mentally, emotionally, physically or spiritually. They haunt women for the rest of their lives. The only reasons to make abortions not just legal but legal up until and through birth is for the organs. Planned parenthood has been making millions and millions of dollars from abortions by selling the organs. The organs that are not supposed to be human. Their just cells with human DNA. We share the same DNA as a banana. But when we procreate we don't get bananas. We get human beings. The organs are human, and have been used by scientists and pharmaceutical companies illegally. Baby organs are used in vaccines. Planned parenthood was caught on video and all their customers for organs was found out. The people & organizations who bought the organs were prosecuted. Except planned parenthood. They get millions of dollars every year from the government and private donations, plus the organs. They are the super power in abortions so no one touches them. Even when they break the law. The OJ Simpson of the celebrity that abortion has become. Abortions are not good for women, society, and especially the babies. Black people need only to look to Margaret Sanger for the reasons they make up only 13% of the entire country. Margaret Sanger a member of the KKK and founder of planned parenthood. Her goal was genocide of black people. Now we have people crying abortion is a choice. No it's a surgery designed specifically to kill human beings.
@@traczebabe ok, I read your small essay on the subject and I’m still not swayed sorry. A lot of incredible but prescient things have their roots in dark places. Doesn’t mean they’re not useful now. All your arguments fall down in the case of, female is not expecting to have sex, female is raped and can’t ‘solve’ the problem with a morning after pill due to whatever mad circumstance (because if you think everyone has the same access that you or I do then you’re misleading yourself). So what then? Have the illegitimate child and put up for adoption? Or female has 9 months of her life stolen (not to mention the hormonal and physical changes undergone)? These don’t seem legitimate options. Of course there should be limits. Once the cluster of cells passes the foetus stage then yes, it’s a person. Not a breathing person but certainly a sentient and living being. My point should really be this.... I don’t know or care about the backend of the business side of it, I just believe that your body and life is your own.
@Sans Handlebars you don't know when he actually recorded this video
Woooooo a new review. And James come on you didn’t tell me a new video was coming out today lol. Love the channel keep up the great work and stay safe
Thank you for all the time you put in testing these products. One thing i learned from watching reviews on these type of products is that i better pay more and get the real deal.
Thanks so much for this review! My wife came home with a box of this stuff today, and seeing the "as seen on TV" logo triggered my "press X for doubt" spidey sense. Your in-depth review really convinced me to tell the wife to return this ASAP!

You need 3m vhb tape. It is the best stuff in the world and comes in different types. This stuff is so strong they use it to build trucks.
How much does it cost?
@@alcopower5710 It's cheap! Small rolls are like 6 or 7 bucks at Home Depot. 3M VHB has been holding the solar panel to the roof of my van for the last several months.
Ty
Not for painted surfaces! 😂
Serious question: I have a mirror that I bought from Home Depot, square. I tried with some 3m tape AND Alien Tape, to tape it to my bedroom wall, above the portable vanity sink. With both, the mirror fell down after a couple of days (no breakage, knock on wood). I may need someone to put classic supports. Based on what I'm describing, any feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I love love love when you include Bailey ❤️. Your streams are getting better and so on! 😁
Thank you for the real review of products! Love your videos!
I have a piece of sticky silicone that came with my htc vive. That little pad they sent is really good for what it is. Definitely isn't as sticky as that alien tape you showed, but it's massively easier to use and totally reuseable. I just have to make sure to clean it till it feels perfectly smooth to make sure no dust is left and it works like new. Wish I knew what HTC sends in their vive kits cause it's been nice for sticking USB hubs onto my desk so they don't move around.
This guy’s the modern equivalent of David Horowitz. I love it!
Sir that was an awesome review. You are so helpful to us for determining what is junk and what not. You are appreciated so much thank you 🙂
I love your reviews! My husband doesn't trust hardly any reviews but after me showing him some of your reviews he doesn't trust anyone else's. You are our go to when we want to find a REAL review. Thanks for all you do!
By far...the most honest review, I may have ever seen...excellent!
“It went pretty much exactly how I expected...which is not good” 😂😂😂 Happy I found your channel. There is not enough good content on KZhead!
I spend half my damn life on KZhead, _because_ there's so much good content.
First time on your channel this is a descent enough review to make me like and subscribe, well done FR!
I'm so glad I watched this. I was about to buy it for my paintings. I don't want to damage my walls. Thank you!
I'm upset you didn't wear the alien glasses the whole review
Not me I was so distracted by the glasses
@@aMMoNCO exactly what I thought
No you're not
Lol!
Make sure you apply it a good stable surface. Hung a mirror and everything stuck together. Only problem was that the paint and all peeled directly from the drywall.
You used tape to hang a mirror? Ballsy.
Had not seen this on the market. I will be checking this stuff out. Thanks for sharing the information! I also am gonna check out the Nano tape too.
Thank you for doing these honest reviews. You have really saved me money.
Do you ever have the companies who produce these items contact you to dispute your results?
I'm wondering if the metal weight was just too hot for the tape rather than it being too heavy, I also wonder if it's better (though unrealistic) to clamp your item on the surface for like an hour, like you would with glue
I had the same issue with FlexTape. I used it to fix two punctures in a pool floaty...but left the tape side faced up in the sun. The vinyl got so hot that it melted the adhesive and the air pressure forced forced air through the weakened seal.
I think that you're both right about heat being the key. Heat makes things melt. That metal weight also would have stored up and incredible amount of heat.
Yeah I was wondering if it needs to set. Command hooks say to let it sit for a day, right?
The weakness is in how this gel tape stretches too easily. It's great for flexible and conforming to surfaces but that also makes it a liability for weight and heat stress - it'll stretch until it fails
I love watching his reviews. He does his best to follow the instructions and gives his pro's and con's. As always great video. Not use why any would believe these tape do everything they advertise....
Man i dont even buy made for tv stuff but i love living vicariously and your videos are the best! Keep up the great work james huge fan ☺️
Love the vids keep it up man. Deserve more subs
A heads up: these types of tape do NOT work well with high heat (or cold temperatures) - the heat makes it lose cohesion. I've used a similar tape for all kinds of applications and it works great as long as you don't have it in direct sunlight. During hot Summer days, it starts to fail.
"Cohesion" is when an adhesive, sicks to "Itself". The clue, is in the "CO". It is not the ability to sick to something, but to sick to "Itself". In other words, it may well stick to things, but it will fail, by parting from "Itself". Here, endeth the lesson!
Many types of tape will not stick to cold surfaces.
Literally just watched the ad on tv thank God for your channel man!
It's nice watching your videos man. I'm so bord durring this quarantine shit, and work. Your videos help. 🤙
The logic behind any kind of tapes holding things is always the tape's size and surface area related to the weight of the object that it's holding and the surface area that it's in contact with each other. In other words "More tape + light objects and more surface area contact = good hold/bond"
Yeah, if he had used a completely flat weight with two strips of tape, I think it would have held longer, especially if it wasn't in direct sunlight.
Great video! love this channel!!!
Per their commercial, the kid's bowl has now become a permanent part of the high chair tray.
I was cracking up watching that 😄 Thanks for the laughs I needed them 😃
Where are the mop reviews at
I have alien tape and it is by far one of the best products I've ever used. I recently ran out and am reordering it again. Beats the crap out of commando tapes. Not sure why you had such bad luck with it. I've never had to reuse mine. But as far as using it.......I've had nothing but amazing success. Commando tape was hit or miss. Eventually things I've used it with would often fall off. I had cord covers on my walls to hide a bunch of cords from my TVs, media players, etc. The original sticky surfaces didn't work. Commando tape worked sporadically but over time, they would all start falling off and I had to readjust weekly. I used Alien tape and since putting it on last year, it stuck hard as a rock. Never had to readjust. Same with tools that I had mounted with commando tape that kept falling. Not with Alien tape. Put a bunch of door kick plates and push plates that I connected to the top and bottom of doors. Would never trust Command tape. Instead of screwing it on, I have used Alien Tape. Has been 6 months. They remain as steads as if I screwed them in to the door. I'm a believer. Maybe you got a dud or expecting a lot from an "exaggerated commercial." I would never try to mount a heavy iron weight in the baking sun. But all my alien tape needs have never failed me when other products have.
Yes... Like I'm loving it... With the first picture I put on the wall of course it was crooked and then when I fixed it it took off a piece of the drywall. However I was able to cover it when I was straightening up the painting and then just was more careful with the other. Overall I would not use it in the future to put pictures up and such only because it is so strong if you don't get it straight on the first try type of thing 🤣☝🏽
@@cuteypie102 Alien tape will rip off your drywall if you're not careful how you remove it. It is much stronger than command strip tape as well. So it will definitely stick hard. You want to carefully pull down and not out. Also "goo gone" works well. Spray or rub on and it will take off the stickiness so you can remove the tape. Just go easy otherwise you will have the mishap you had with the picture frame.
Congrats ! 500k subscribers just around the corner !

Yay wanted to see this.
Thank you for posting this; I often wonder about these 'TV' products.
Great review! Keep doing you !
Wow KZhead finally sent me a notification for your video
It's about time!
Same here.
Great Alien Tape review!! I was planning to buy it but changed my mind. I don't want to waste my $20.
Me too!
I feel like the only thing I'd want to try it on is deck decor. But wondering if it would stand up to the weather. Maybe cold rain wouldn't loosen it as much as steam and hot water? Awesome review!!! Glad I waited to purchase, the price definitely gave me pause. 🙏👍
I was just about to order this tape, when it occurred to me to see if you had reviewed it. Thanks for saving me $27 bucks!
I don’t think claims of outdoor use are meant to cover direct mid day sun in a desert.
But they say water loosens it....what could possibly happen when it rains then?
Yeah, using the tape with the weight on direct sunlight with a lot of heat wasnt the brightest idea
What constitutes outdoor use then? What if he wanted to use it to mount a camera or something that got direct sunlight and was 7 lbs? Just saying...
ok direct sun doesn't work, but water also loosens it. so it can't be in the sun, it can't be in the rain, and can't be in the snow.. . i mean i guess maybe a lightweight wreath under a covered porch, but if "outdoors" is just a technicality that means extremely specific sheltered/climate controlled conditions then i'm thinking a decent size hank of 3M would do it..
Everyone is failing to point out that the weight heats up much more than most items would in direct sunlight. He couldn't even hold it.
Anyone else find his voice and review content amazing and soothing
Yes! I love his voice. And, he provides good comic relief after a stressful day.. . especially in videos like this one when the products are basically just crap.
@@scootermom1791 couldn’t agree more
Thank you for showing, was seriously thinking of buying.
Thanks for reviewing that product. I really appreciated. Thanks again.
When the aliens come back, they are gonna be pissed about this "alien" tape. They will definitely sue.
If I were an alien, which I’m not, then yes. Yes I would.
@@invaderzim3301 Well I don't know why you'd be an alien, Zim is a totally human name and green skin is 100% human
Tape discrimination.
Your sons: "Daaaaad why there is a painting hanging on the balcony?"
LOVE the glasses!!😱
Amazing glasses. Great post!
I have found that when it comes to living in hot climates like vegas, a lot of adhesives do not last.
I'd try using 100% silicone caulking, and use the tape to hold in place long enough for it to set. Then you could take a blowtorch to it and it wouldn't release on its own.
Those glasses are hilarious!
I've used AT to keep my carpet corner from curling up (carpet lays on top of the main carpet). I've also used AT to secure my watchband. So far so good.
Thanks for this. Saw the commercial and thought it would be great in my shower.. guess not LOL. Good,informative, thorough video. Ya just saved me some money dose - Thx!!
I bought this before i seen the review about 4 months ago. Seemed a bit expensive but this stuff works amazing
Yeah until hot weather come in then you'll see it melting
I would rather use the 3m sticky hooks then this tape 😂 get the same result just easier on the pocket book 🤣
And it comes off
3m also doesn't rip the paint/finish (when following removal instructions).. it obviously doesn't hold 17lbs, but it's enough for seasonal holiday decorations (which is what it looks like this is best for anyway)..
@@girliboi yeah they can't hold much, but they do work for small things, a lot better then that tape 😂
OMG! So funny and informative! Laughed so hard😂 Thanks for the entertainment!
Thanks! I almost ordered one today. Very informative and entertaining as Tyler R. stated ;)
The new alien tape commercial, literally lists every purpose that no one would ever use alien tape for. Like sticking a brick to a brick wall. Tapes your children’s bowl to their high chair, taping furniture to the ground. Hanging pictures. Hanging weight on the wall. Etc.
LOL, It's so true.
I use it to hold my craft projects together until the E6000 glue has set. That all it's basically good for in my opinion.
Funny that you mentioned that. I was thinking, while just watching this video for the first time today, that this tape would be good in lieu of glue on crafts. In your opinion, do you think it's strong enough to hold crafts together on its own?
Oh I love James channel, he is so wonderful. Like those alien glasses.
Really enjoyed your review, ty 👍
This stuff is made with the same ingredients as commercial rat and mouse traps except the toxic ingredients are removed. In other words it's strong and expensive fly paper on a roll which is totally worthless. The packaging and advertising of the product is probably worth more than the actual product itself.
Like those lint rollers
"It is reusable! Here, take 3 rolls of it, just in case!" -- They should rebrand it "Mixed Messages Tape (Water Optional, Maybe)"
Thanks for an actual review, and honest too.
Thanks for your excellent review. You helped me to decide.
Hi I love your videos and I design tape for a living the surface and the heat applied to the substrate can make or break tape, also tape is at its highest strength after its had time to wet out. The adhesive on the tape is a viscoelastic and as such it will move and fill in microscopic gaps to improve its strength over time generally when I'm testing tape the minimum time I will weight to test shear, will be 30 min what you are testing is only one property of the tape's strength you were generally testing tack which is the tapes initial strength. testing shear right after it is applied is some what of a cheap test as just because a tape is not initially tacky doesn't mean it's strength wont grow over time. also reusable tapes are usually meant to be repositionable meaning the tack will still be high enough after tacking it off to reapply. As I know you are someone who listens and improves their testing methods after education I would invite you to look up Pressure sensative testing methods or PSTC gridlines to under stand why some of your tape may have failed.
That was a lot of tape for the painting! I used a similar product but they claimed it's safe for painted surfaces. Obviously it wasn't and when I peeled it off the wall, the paint also came off. In my experience, it's basically just a semi-permanent mounting tape. You cant reuse it and putting something on and off the tape (e.g a remote control) only works a few times.
It looks like mounting squares that I used to work with for mounting posters... I worked at Staples Printing center and mounting squares were a cheaper solution for people not willing to spend a huge sum on Staples Print center Mounted boards..
Its handy when you need to retrieve something from a tight space. I wrap it around a grabber to rescue my lost remotes, glasses ect. Unfortunately I was dissatisfied with it. It didn't perform as advertised. One truth stated, IT'S PERMANENT ON PAINTED SURFACES! Trust me.
Bailey still appreciating fine art.. I'm SCREECHING .. 😩😩😩😂😂😂😂❤️
Been using this tape to hold up some RGB light strip rails. It's worked pretty well. The only one that failed and fell off was because I hadn't cleaned off the original 3M tape from the railing so that's what failed. To be fair the RGB strips + the rails might weigh as much as 100-150gr and don't get nudged or wet. They do tend to get slightly warm though. I've also used it for hanging plastified paper signeage with good success. I'm unsure of how it would behave in sub-zero temperatures though.
