It’s an easy way to keep a rug in place on hardwood flooring. The length of the tape roll must match how much adhesion you need, but the width also matters. Narrow tape sits between two thin objects without being visible. Conversely, wider double-sided tape is useful if you want to cover more surface area using a single strip. Removal

For example, don’t use wood tape on painted walls. While some double-sided tape is water-resistant or waterproof, we recommend applying it to a dry surface. This ensures that water doesn’t obstruct the bond between the tape and the surface. How can I make double-sided tape easier to remove? Most double-sided tape can hold 5–15 pounds, with the strongest holding 15–20 pounds. Double-sided adhesive tape isn’t as strong as nails or screws, but you’re sacrificing strength for convenience. Dimensions Exposing the tape to sunlight: When you receive your double-sided tape, store it in a dry, dark, and temperature-controlled area. If the tape is in direct sunlight for an extended amount of time, it can lose its adhesive property. The surface that you’re applying the tape to shouldn’t receive direct sunlight either.
