Bisbism: So expansive this quantity

Buyer 1000: Used for mounting frame to plate mirror. Worked great

United States on Aug 15, 2023

A. HansA. Hans: I bought this tape to use with the 3M Window Insulator Kits that I purchased to insulate my windows for the winter. I was very pleased with the quality and performance of this tape. It is strong, sticky and easy to apply. It works on many surfaces, including painted wood, aluminum and vinyl-clad molding. It holds the plastic film securely and creates a tight seal around the windows.

The tape is also easy to remove when you want to take off the plastic film. It does not leave any residue or damage on the windows or the molding. It peels off cleanly and smoothly. The tape measures 0.5 inches by 13.8 yards, which is enough for several windows. It is also made in the USA, which is a plus for me.

I would highly recommend this tape to anyone who wants to use the 3M Window Insulator Kits to improve their home’s energy efficiency and comfort. This tape is a must-have for sealing your windows and preventing drafts and air leaks.

B. Ream: My tape matched the "Old Style" exactly in the pics, not the new. Given that I've gotten the recall advisory that there is bad tape (and experienced it), I was hoping for a newer batch. Guess we'll see if this stuff is OK.

videorgy: 3M double sided tape is the only tape I would use with 3M film for window coverage. It stays on, in place while allowing the installer to reposition the film. when removing it does not harm the surface including wood. Having used this product for years I'm very pleased it is available by this seller. Arrived in good time and condition.

NW: I’ve used these window kits for a few years now. This year, the tape supplied in the kit was sub-par. The backing would tear after you got it started, rendering the tape useless. I was hesitant to buy this for fear that it would do the same, but I did and it worked as well as the previous years I’ve used these kits. I guess 3M quality control was impacted this year, because the tape supplied in the kit was awful. Or maybe that was their plan all along so I’d have to buy more (I don’t really think this, but who knows). The only reason I don’t give it a 5 star rating is because it was annoying to have to buy this when the tape in the kits should have been all I needed.

murray anderson: This film worked just fine , I think if people had trouble with it coming loose from the adhesive strip it is only because not enough pressure was applied first to the strip and then not enough pressure to bond the film to the strip. Running your thumb slowly with lots of pressure on the strip then on the film when it was applied worked very well and was done quite quickly.

Denis Racine: bon produit mais serai plus efficace si meilleur adhésion

Canada on Oct 20, 2021

Mr. T: Works better than generic tapes. I bought this exact same listing a few years ago for $2.37 a roll....revisited my purchase history to perhaps get another few rolls...over $12 per roll....haha...not a chance bro.....keep dreaming.

Surface will need to be non porous, and smooth/glossy. If applying over a painted surface, paint will need to be gloss, or semi gloss for best results. The tape will not hold up very well at all otherwise. Applied on fresh semi gloss paint, it will last a few years without having to redo it.

Brio: This tape works well, but really good preparation of the surface before application is very important.

I always clean the surface in advance with really hot water (no cleaner). If there is any residue or bits of tape from previous applications of other products, I remove them with a scraper. Then, I saturate a folded facial tissue or cotton pad with 99% isopropyl alcohol and rub it along every surface around the window that the tape will be applied to, when (and only when) I am ready to apply the tape.

It may seem like overkill to use 99% isopropyl alcohol instead of just ordinary 70% compound, but it hangs on like nothing else. The plastic window films didn't budge until I chose to remove them.
