4.0 out of 5 stars interesting tape, February 28, 2011

(What's this?)

It's almost like regular two sided tape, but thicker and less sticky. The plastic part feels more thick and rubbery than standard scotch tape and it seems to conform to bumpy surfaces better. It doesn't seem as sticky - but that's a good thing because it's supposed to peel off the wall without leaving adhesive and marks.

Over all, it does a decent job. No idea (yet) how long it will hold things aloft. A 1" piece has been holding a tin of starbucks gum on a cabinet door for a few days. No drama.

On the other hand ... The roll does have a few warnings on the back:

"Note: Removes cleanly from walls. May damage poster upon removal. Not recommended for use on wallpaper, delicate surfaces or walls painted with flat paint."

My intuition is that this stuff would be great for beiber type posters because it minimizes damage to the wall and the posters will be replaced with something else in a year or two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Poster Tape, January 15, 2007

This tape is exactly what you are looking for if you want to hang up your little one's art work, or posters, or even some notes you need to post in the office. I have used it for the last two years and I have always been very pleased with the results.

I like to make 20x30 enlargements and put them on light (not heavy) foam poster board. The trick is trying to hang or otherwise affix them to the wall. It may be the type of paint on my walls, but this stuff does not work well in my home.

I tried it once a long time ago and just recently decided to try again. Who knows, "Maybe I'll have better luck this time," I thought. My wife scoffed as I proudly joined her for a night's rest. "Have faith," I said, "It won't fall down this time." As I peered through the darkness, I noticed that the wall seemed whiter than it should - at least where I placed the poster.

"Never mind - it fell down already," I said.

This is not to say that it is a bad product (all the time). Just know that it doesn't work in some cases.
