Hello if I don't use this tape immediately, how long will it still be affected? Thanks!

Beats me. I tried it and it was horrible to work with so I bought and used a different brand. BUT as a rule 3M makes good stuff.

When you start use the tension and friction of the initial end of the tape from slipping and when you finish use tape to hold the final end. I just used a couple of wraps of appropriately colored electrical tape around the end to hold it in place and it's worked quite well. Also, when wrapping keep the tape quite tight, the extra friction keeps the tape in place better.

huh, I have never had that problem. I am thinking though that you may have gotten a bad batch or something. How many different times have you used the tape? If only once then I do not know. But if you keep using the same tape and taking it off and putting it back on, it would do that. If its the latter, start over. The tape is just worn out. If it is neither I suggest getting another tape roll and putting it in. That should do it. Good luck!

I forgot to mention in the previous message, but be sure to get a can of Tuf-Skin at the same time. Spray your skin first. Let it dry a little until tacky. Then tape. Stays on MUCH better. Maybe even spray the corners of the tape where other part will lap over it.

If you leave the tape on for an extended period it may be a little more difficult to peel off but a lot depends on what kind of surface, i.e. file folders may be harder to work with than say plastic. When first applied, its not usually too difficult to just peel right off before the sticky part has time to set.

I used 3m High Bond double sided tape and it has been on for a long time. No problems. Make sure you use the HB tape. It is a little expensive, but has a lot of uses. A good investment for the house or the car.

It will be seen. It works great as far as sticking, but if you are worried about it being seen, it is not the tape you want to use.

Try using a hair dryer and a nail file to gently lift the product from the tape. Acetone or paint thinner will remove the tape residue. Careful is the watchword or you may leave a scratch.

Clean the area before you put the sticker on on. It could be that the area is greasy or dirty. If that doesnt work, try some other tapes that they offer. mine works just fine. I used it on a very glossy computer case, snd it still there. Try put it on good area where youre not gonna touch over and over again. Good luck.

I don't believe that you have to use this tape. The glue (if properly done will hold things together. The tape will make it look more finished and cover up any glue mistakes.

I purchased the tape and was disappointed to learn you have to use the whole roll immediately after opening. Evidently, contact with air will ruin the adhesive if it isn't used immediately. The rolls are about 30". I used about 1/2 of the roll to repair a hose leak, but the leak came through. I suppose you should use a whole roll on each project.

When I apply my tape, I doing so, to keep it in place. I've had no need to peel it of (as of yet). As a matter of fact, I reinforce it w/ a layer of another clear tape to keep it in place. I hope that helps...kj

I use the tape to repair the plastic on my greenhouse so I have never removed it. The tape does not shrink so it does not leave a residue behind on my greenhouse walls, but I cannot say if there is a residue left behind when it is removed.

I was fortunate and didn't have any residue left. Try using a little goo gone. Don't really have anything to lose if you can't use it all sticky

Instructions says to let it tack up for 15 minutes first. But I am a little impatient and do not think it is needed. I spread it on, blow into it to let it dry faster, then after 1 minute, I lay the 2 layers in. Seems to have worked for me in the past. if you need instant, you need to use CA glue (super glue).

As far as I know, all the tapes have the same adhesive. I also do not think they will leave residue like other tapes. I would try it on an inconspicuous spot to see.

Wow...I've not had that happen before with this product. Assuming the surface was properly prepped before application, applied in thin coats, and kept dry for 72 hours after that, the only thing I can imagine would cause that is high humidity. If you have a dehumidifier handy, I'd suggest using that in the bathroom for 24 hours. If not, all I can say is that the product should eventually dry. With my limited knowledge of this particular situation, that is the best I can offer. I just hope it's helpful in some way.
