The description says that you can use it to replace electrical tape. How true is that? Any successful projects using it?

To the others saying the description states it should NOT be used as electrical tape: keep reading. Towards the end they state, “It can even be used in place of electrical tape.” The description contradicts itself.

How easy is this to remove? I need temporary double back tape on my kitchen counter tops, to train a dog not to counter surf.

This is probably not what you're looking for. Gorilla Tape is like super duct tape, and is only sticky on one side. And it's really sticky. So, not only will it be hard to remove if left on your counter for a while, but it isn't sticky on both sides.

im looking for a tape to use on a textured painted wall, over time, would this tape damage the paint upon removal? should I use a lighter tape?

It is STRONGLY recommended not to use adhesive fasteners on painted walls. In time, it will rip the paint, and frequently the top layer of drywall with it, requiring re-spackle and repair. Best to use standard nail/hook or even small anchored screws if possible. Much easier to hide/fix.

Can you use this permanently on roof shingles?

Hello juma,Gorilla Tape is a semi-permanent tape, and should be considered a temporary repair. For further assistance with your application, please contact our Consumer Affairs team at 800-966-3458 or through our website at www.gorillatough.com/contact. Thank you,The Gorilla Glue Company
