After six months of use, I feel this tape has earned a lot of praise. One of my neighbors damaged a 60 gallon rolling recycle bin - the kind that looks like a trash container. Ours are picked up by a city truck with a mechanical arm that grabs the bin, whips it overhead to the truck's open container, and then shakes the contents out of the bin and finally bangs it down on the pavement to pick up the next one. In short, these bins are used pretty hard. Anyway, one of our bins got its side caved in by misuse, with a jagged crack running about 18" vertically and 12" horizontally. The damage was so severe the city agreed to swap us a replacement. Just for yucks, I bought this mending tape, to see what it would do. First, we forced the broken pieces back into alignment and washed them off so we'd have a clean surface for the tape. Then, holding the pieces together we taped over all the crack, both inside and outside the container. Six months later - 15 recycling pickups - the bin works as good as new. Last week, it was around 10 degrees on recycling day, but the tape held and the bin didn't crack while being manhandled by the city. To my surprise, it's hard to spot the broken bin - it looks just like the others, unless you know where to look. Six months of exposure to sunlight hasn't made any apparent difference. (This is Michigan, so maybe I should wait a few years. We don't get much sun.) Anyway, the point of this review is simply to affirm that 3M's tape really works, in situations where there's considerable stress. I guess the tensile strength is roughly equal to the strength of the original bin with its 1/8" thick plastic walls.

I cannot find this tape anymore in stores. Why I don’t know. It’s by far the best tape for keeping rugs or carpets down to PREVENT TRIPPING. Easy to apply and remove when it needs replacing from getting shabby. It’s invisible too. It stays in place and I cannot be without it. It’s strong and does the job amazingly. I take no chances with carpets and rugs anymore as I had a serious trip on the corner of a rug that cost me a year of orthopedic visits and lots of physical therapy. Not worth it, USE THIS TAPE FOR KEEPING CARPETS SOLIDY STUCK TO FLOOR OR OTHER CARPETS…..BRILLIANTLY-DOES THE JOB.

Doesn't stick as well as Gorilla clear, but it works well & is more economical

3 years ago I broke this cheap disposable food container. I taped it with this 3m repair tape as a temporary solution. Since I had just moved in to my house and had no other options for food storage, I taped it and since I wasn’t storing something heavy or liquid it would be fine. It worked wonderfully!!! I use this container for everything from cut watermelon to left over pizza. I even marinate my meat in this!! I’ve never had to replace the tape. I forget it’s there most times but noticed it today, was once again impressed by its strength and longevity and here we are writing a review. It’s thick, 100% waterproof, easy to use, needs scissors to cut, best tape ever of all Evers.

This tape is amazing.

I bought this clear tape to repair baby board books made from cardboard. It worked well and stuck to the surface. If needed to fix the aliment I was able to remove the tape and reapply. I will update this post once I see how long it lasts. I also used this tape to fix my arm rest of office chair and to cover a sharp spot on a lazy boy chair. So far both are holding up. For other uses I'm not sure as it doesn't stick well to all surfaces.

So far so good on repairing a tear in my shower curtain. I had a small tear at the edge of my shower curtain. I tried replacing it but couldn’t find a shower curtain that came close to the quality of the one I had. It had a small tear at the top edge of the curtain, which seems to be adequately repaired with this tape. Time will tell if the repair holds, but I used about 1/2 inch from the roll so have numerous additional repairs if needed.

This is my second purchase of this tape. It may be a little pricey but it has so many uses, it is well worth it. It will repair anything vinyl and be almost invisible. That includes things like raincoats. I've used it to fixed curtain rods and hang banners outside. It is excellent to seal boxes; I could go on and on. The adhesion is great. It stays on until you take it off. So far, I have not had any problems from damage while taking it off. I am not saying that won't happen, but that has not been my experience so far. Highly recommend.
