Alien Tape, anyone try it?

Post by reible »

I guess this is the first of many things that the alien's are now leaking in to human society..... I mean why else would you label it alien?

Walking through the Menard's store the other day and there it was.

It looks quite thick from what I could see so I didn't buy any to try and hold down projects while routing but wonder what if anything people have found if they actually laded down their money and bought some???

I don't need 30' of it but if I can find a roll I'll buy it.

My wife has small plaques that she hangs on the block fence around her garden. If this holds these plaques on the wall...(never use screws or glue again).

You Midwesterners think of everything! Never seen it out here.

It didn't get very good reviews unfortunately:

Here's a review. Not that impressive. Probably is useful for some light duty attachments, especially if you need to remove and reposition things. If it's the stuff I think it is it doesn't have much peel strength so hanging heavy things on the wall or ceiling will be a problem, but if you stuck something down on a table top with it then that thing would not be easily knocked out of place.
