Scotch is the brand I usually buy when looking for tapes. I have bought the two sided tapes for years now, for both business and personal needs. The early lesson I learned was to make doubly sure that you mount to a surface where you won't want to remove the item from later. If you mount a picture to a painted wall, for example, and then remove it the paint will most likely comme off with the tape. This tape here is clearly called "Permanent" for good reason.

Scotch states this is for permanent mounting, but I'd hold back on that until a year goes by. I did use it for a wall calendar which is nice, in that I don't have to drive a nail into the wall. But the biggest use I have for Scotch's (double sided) mounting tape is for flat surfaces. Where most people have kids knocking things about, I have little earthquakes but most horrendously, cats! My two Bengal cats will knock anything and everything off the shelves or countertops. I have some glass vases, vertical standing frames and a glass decanter sitting on shelves. I used this tape to mount them strongly to the shelf. I've witnessed these cats walking all around them without being able to knock them off to shatter on the floor. For that peace of mind alone, this tape is worth it. Plus the price is right.

There not really much to say but its really REALLY good mounting tape i had to mount a usb hub and some things and i has a little hesitant because it though it would move around and stuff... But it didn't even budge in face when i had to pull if of the wall i had to use both hands no lie it was crazy so it provides good solid mount.......

Note: I Use a wall with wallpaper on it

Update 9-24-11: Just wanted to say that its still going strong and hasn't lost its ability to hold I've had the same piece on for 6 months now

This is easily the best mounting tape that I've ever used. I've tried a lot of different types of mounting tape, for a lot of different applications. This is easily the best one that I've found.

Recently, I used it to secure a couple of external computer fans (made of plastic) to the interior of a computer cabinet on a wooden desk. It's held up well for a few weeks now, even with the temperatures inside the cabinet being relatively high and the fans being on (and therefore vibrating) for about 12-14 hours a day. I also used it to secure a power strip to the back of a wooden desk (it would take too long to explain why I needed to do that...but this tape worked well for that too).

I only have had to remove the tape one time when I changed my mind about the location of something...it was a bit of a pain to remove it, but it did come off without peeling the stain from the wood it was attached too. Keep in mind however, the tape was only on this spot for about 24 hours...I'm not sure what would happen if I took it off after a few months/years.

The initial roll seemed to be an ample amount; I was able to accomplish a lot of different mounting projects with it. I did end up using almost all the tape that I had, but I think I'm going to buy a new roll right now, just so I have handy. I'm glad that I found something that works, and I can stop wasting money on trying to find a good mounting solution.

There are many applications for this tape, but our favorite is in kids projects. The foam layer between the two sides of tape allows you to connect two surfaces that would not lie completely flush against each other (making it impossible to use regular two-sided tape). The foam also gives a little bit of flexibility and shock resistance; for example, mounting something inside a remote control vehicle. Also, while this is meant as permanent tape, the foam layer can, in some applications, give you a way to pry off whatever you've taped. We keep a roll of this on our workshop bench as there is invariably some situation where it is preferable to gluing, nailing, sewing, velcroing, etc.

I used this to mount a couple rear view mirrors to my computer monitors at work (so that people don't sneak up on me since my back is to the aisle) and FINALLY I found a product that keeps them attached. I've tried several different products that don't seem to last long, but this one appears that it is tough enough to last.

I used this product to hang large posters on my workplace walls for a party. It holds well even on textured surfaces and comes off cleanly. Best of all, I was able to remove the foam tape from the posters without tearing them so I could store gem for use in hue future.

Need something stuck to something else? This stuff does the trick. I had one of those license plate thingys to put on the front of my car and no bolts to do it. So I whipped out my Scotch Mounting Tape and stuck it on there. It's been on ever since without even trying to come off. WOO HOO! It works well in the house too for those small photo frames on the wall. GOOD PRODUCT--GET IT!

I have used this on tile, metal, glass and interior walls and all surfaces are compatible with this mounting tape in my experience. I did notice that if the surface is ice cold, make sure you warm the area up with a hairdryer if possible for a better stick. To remove, I slid a razor through the foam core and used Goo Gone to remove the rest of the square, worked great! I was able to hang a wipe board near my front door than I had been meaning to mount for months, this stuff gets the job done!

I originally thought to use this product just for scrapbooking and card making, to add dimension. For this it's wonderful, and easy to use. Small pieces are easy to cut, since both sides of the tape is covered with a protective paper that you remove to expose the adhesive. Remove one side, affix to your "scrap", then remove the remaining paper, and stick everything in place. Easy,holds permanently, and looks good, providing a nice dimensional look. I have an idea or two for some great 3D xmas cards next season.

But I also found out that this tape works wonderful to stick up things like cork tiles onto the inside of cupboard doors.. I orginally used UGO squares, which does have the advantage of being removable, but it did NOT stay stuck. After a week or so, the cork tile fell down. I had replaced it with more of the same, and had another failure. So I replaced it with pieces of the Scotch Mounting tape, and it's still attached. It's my new go-to craft sticky. :-)
