Renting, so thinking of using this to protect my inside, painted window sills - will the tape upset the paint when I remove it at move-out?

We're using it on wood doorframe that one of our cats destroyed. I'm probably not the right person to ask because most of the white paint was scratched off prior to my applying. I did, however repaint and put tape over that without issue.

No the windows are taped shut...But this is the best product of its kind. They other more expensive gunk and strips don't adhere nearly as well...IMHO

Yes. Thus tape is removeable and best installed when the tape and glass are warm vs in the cooler temps of the night. The warmth promotes a better adhesion of the tape to the windscreen.

Its not overkill if you never want it to come off! Would prob work great since its a little thicker tape. Just have both surfaces cleaned with alcohol and it will keep!

Note that the Velcro tabs are pretty likely to pull off door frame paint when removed (assuming they're stuck to painted wood like ours). You might consider using some sort of less aggressive tape if your landlord will be scrutinizing every inch of the place. Or you could plan to sand and repaint those spots.

Well I can imagine this could damage the seal to the window if left in place 24/7. You basically have to ram those lower two "sticks" (for lack of better terminology to call them) into the lower portion of your window - between the window and that little flexible piece that rests against the window. So it does push that back a little. And then there is that top part. When you roll the window all the way up, obviously that is going to make an impression in the seal. My advise would be to only have it "installed" if you are actively using it. When it is not needed, just take it out so the impressions in the seals don't become permanantly warped or damaged.

I attached mine to a painted wall but I had to use double sided tape to secure ir\twhen it came loose there was no residue

Just use a magic eraser from the local store. The spray paint should come off without damaging the door paint.

Absolutely not. The tape came off when I taped it to my window seal in two days

I don't think it will leave any trace. I had to remove part of one of mine (because I put it in the wrong spot) and it didn't leave any sticky residue. It is not like tape. I think you'd be fine putting it up on a wall for removal later. BTW I LOVE mine. I actually have two up, same design, just one right and one left facing. They are beautiful! Very easy to put up if you have a helper and follow the directions. I highly recommend watching some YouTude videos before you put it up. They are very helpful. Also, a great company to work with. My piece I messed up, they replaced right away and for no charge. Love it! A great all around experience. Let me know if you have any questions. I don't think it will leave any trace.

It can leave a slight amount of residue if you don't remove it carefully. Make sure if you remove it that you run the removed portion as close as possible to whats still on the window as you pull down the film.

I'm just making an educated guess but I'd say you'd lose some of the integrity of the burglarbar placing it on the film and it would probably mess up the film when you remove the burglarbar. I am happy with the product I got it to keep the windows at a safe opening for my grandson's ssfety

It would probably tear the paint off, I am not sure, I've never tried it inside the house, but it does have a strong tar odor to it, especially when it gets warm and the sticky side is very sticky.

Purpose of the tape is prevent accidental sanding into your paint. Just use any tape you use for painting the house is fine. Or remove the headlight and do this restore off of the car.

You should be able to use clear duct tape. I used a staple gun to insulate 2 large upper story picture windows with wood frames.

We used tape to put it up and it did not damage the paint... I hope this helps.

If I were you, I would remove the duct tape and use just the interior transparent weather tape. The adhesive is comparable to duct tape, but the density of the weatherization tape is less permeable than duct tape and is going to do a better job keeping drafts of heat out. You may want to purchase a wide version of the 3m interior tape. I bought the 1inch so I could fit it at 90 degree angles at my windows edges and around a few drafty outlets.....
