Hey there,
In this video I take a look at Alien tape. This review focuses on how Alien Tape works on painted surfaces. I try it on painted brick, painted wood, and drywall. Alien Tape can be purchased at your local as seen on TV retailer for around $20. Check out this review to see how Alien Tape works on painted walls.

[@ahighernote]

Thank you for your review, Jeff! I just opened the box of alien tape I bought at Walmart today and then search KZbin for some reviews. I watched your video for a while. Then I opened the instruction box that is included inside the primary box and saw that it says the following: “suitable services: wood, marble, leather, smooth and frosted glass, smooth tile, and plastic surfaces.“ And then in all caps it says, “If using on sheetrock and painted surfaces, application will be permanent. Removing the alien tape may cause paint to peel or leave residue.“ There you go. Also, it clearly says to clean the surface prior to application and to make sure that the surface is flat (hence, no textured surfaces). I’m going to give it a try now!

[@tweetiebird]

Thank you for making these points clear as supplied by the manufacturer not the infomercial "For TV" sales gimmicks.

[@parishna4882]

But but the advert said "On Any Surface" so ... *shifty eyes* someone at alien tape is confused.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Sadly, many products are misleading on the infomercial. Thanks for sharing.

[@sharonlarsen6244]

We absolutely love Alien Tape! I use it for pictures, hanging fan remotes, holding rugs in place, 4ft Christmas stars on the windows outside (very windy in NM), Wreaths on the door, etc and have never had 1 issue. Works just as advertised!

[@Jeffreviews4u]

These are all great, reasonable, uses for Alien Tape. Thanks for sharing - Have a great day and stay safe!

[@nolahofmann4976]

Did you use it on painted walls for the fan remotes and pictures?

[@cnccarving]

17.5 pound in the commercial they put the weight on the wall flat you put a basket on the wall so by physics you applied more force to the top strip anyway probably i buy some test and try it it would be awsome with small signs thank you for your time to make this video

[@Jeffreviews4u]

This was my second review of the product, my initial review I taped it directly to the refrigerator. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@steveforbes756]

Exactly... The size of the basket adds leverage, making it actually "heavier" at the top.

[@sweetmother2406]

Thank you! This is exactly the information I was looking for before I use the stuff on my walls and ears is the only video I can find on all of KZbin that shows removing it from different painted surfaces

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Happy to help! I also found using a hair dryer to heat the tape before removal can help minimize damage. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍

[@prayingkoala]

Used it on painted “Tuscan” faux finish textured wall (think 1950s lightly textured but not swirls ) painted w satin latex (paint job was 6 years old …fully cured paint…..realized in less than 1 hour not to use on textured surfaces and when I pulled the power strip off the paint stayed on the plaster but the plaster itself stuck to the tape….so take my advice because I actually love this stuff …..semigloss and satin paint always (best for finish ,durability and clean ability) when you paint inside your home and When Using Alien Tape ,or nano tape as the knock offs are called, NEVER USE ALIENTAPE ON TEXTURED WALLS if you even think you might one day want to remove that item!!!!!! Thanks Jeff for another great review !

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I appreciate the support! Have a great day and stay safe.

[@nolahofmann4976]

Good review, very helpful. I bought some awhile back and haven't used it very much because I saw the warning about painted surfaces peeling. I'm really disappointed because my house inside and out, is painted. I wanted to hang pictures throughout the house without putting nail holes in my newly painted rooms and outside I wanted to hang a "Porch Rules" plaque, but of course the outside is painted too. I wanted to hang strings of Christmas lights around the windows, inside and out, but won't do that. I imagine I'll find some things to use it for eventually but I'm not really happy with my purchase for the things I wanted it for. It should give the warning about using it on paint on the commercials.

[@syzygy4365]

I love nano tape! I heard your supposed to heat the tape before removing it. Lol

[@sectorT-dv8mc]

Using a hair dryer or ice will help release to reduce the chance of taking off paint. It works because the nano tape has no solvent to adhere but micro-finger grips like a gecko. The only thing is how do you get heat to the tape if you have something mounted on top of it, it's a good video to tryout haha. The paint removal/wall damage is the biggest concern folks have. If you want a roll of it cheaper than 3x$20, it can be found on amazon for much cheaper if you go for generic nano tape rather than this branded nano tape.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Thanks for the tips for removing the tape. Also be careful with the nano tape on amazon...although it is probably the same stuff make sure you are getting the length you want. These are 10 ft rolls. I've seen them in all sorts of sizes. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@cumshot247]

I think it's weird that none of the tapes on amazon tell you to twist to remove. If they were the same, wouldn't removal be similar also?

[@mass_exotic_reptiles2532]

You have a positive attitude it definitely helped my day out😀

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Thanks for your kind words. Have a great day and stay safe!

[@klcwarchitect]

I think the adhesion of the tape to the flat paint only meant that the adhesion of the tape to the paint was stronger than the adhesion of the paint to the drywall.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

that sounds like it makes sense...no good for the drywall - haha.

[@barrymcleod8853]

what's the result of this? Am I in danger of imploding myself or my spouse? Maybe just her?

[@lasttono]

Wish I had seen your review before I hung several light-weight canvas pictures on a painted dry wall. Some of the pictures fell off in about 2 weeks. A few others are still in place. However, when I tried to remove them, the paint came off with a bit of the drywall as well. I think you're right. It must have something to do with the type of paint. The wall was painted with 2 coats of Sherwin Williams flat paint.

[@drcroxton]

That happened to me too!

[@CopingwithGrattitude]

It has a warning in the description to not use it on flat paint. Also textured surfaces.🙄 I was about to purchase some but I don’t know now.

[@Sunnyskies1955]

Good job Dude! Thanks for showing different scenarios; for example, brick, drywall, 2 different kinds of paint on drywall, etc.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Absolutely! Thanks for commenting.

[@naamanpamoja6053]

This could be staged but for some reason I trust you...Not as versatile as advertised but I think we would have some uses for it around the house...good to know about the paint dynamic too, thanks

Hahaha. This is all real life. The tape is ok, just be careful on painted surfaces.

Thanks for the follow up!

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Absolutely. Thanks for checking it out!

[@susanadams5190]

On the surfaces that are cold to the touch, maybe if you use a hair dryer to warm it up so it sticks better. On the subject of getting it off safely how would a hair dryer be to get the tape warm to remove without taking pain off ? I'm gonna try it my self also. I'd love to see your reviews on warming it up also PLEASE.

[@angel-x-7689]

yep, I used this tape on walls and after a month or more it hardens and is almost impossible to get off - ripped off my paint like the flat finish you demonstrated...

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I have had trouble getting it off of walls as well. That being said, head and humidity are the kryptonite of alien tape...try a hair dryer.

[@Donna-vh5ym]

@@Jeffreviews4u // how do I use the hair dryer under the item that's on the wall with Alien Tape. I just feel like I need to be prepared to not only repair my wall, but repaint it. I used 3 strips on the back of a tile like plaque. It's stuck. Helllp!!!!!

painted surfaces had mixed results. Not sure if it depends on style of paint, but the flat paint did terrible. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@tweetiebird]

The more sheen of the paint the better up to a point it won't even stick

[@Sue-In-Oregon]

Surprise for vic, I'm going to get some of this because I want to put up a couple of small pictures on painted drywall.... w/o making holes in the wall. So I do have a use for it. :) Thanks for doing this review.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Small paintings are perfect for this item, just expect it may pull off paint if you take it down. Thanks for checking it out. Have a great day and stay safe.

Thanks for your presentation. Wish I had seen it BEFORE I put up my framed certificates. A couple didn't last a week so decided to take them all down and put them on a separate piece of wood. Well, trying to take the tape off a painted wall tore the paint off as it did in your video. I believe the product is good but wisdom as to what type of surface is so important. I will continue to use it for other situations but it won't be on a drywall!

[@bdubb5661]

Need test on wall paper and leave up for a year on outside wall ( like in an RV )to see if heat from the sun would weaken, most people don't put up items to remove soon

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I'll do you one better. I just used it to mount curtain rods in my RV....2 days later they fell. The heat got to the tape. I have had pictures up in my house for months....sadly didnt work so well in the RV.

I used some in my RV to hold curtains. When it got humid the tape fell off. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@berealsupportive2744]

They say to hold it tightly against the wall for twenty seconds. Not 3 to 5 seconds. Lol

[@cocoabellarsd]

You should try using Alien Tape on the cell phone mounts as a replacement adhesive for the adhesive that comes with the cell phone mounts for cars. The adhesive on those is always sub-par, meaning you are stuck with a cell phone mount that is perfectly good but useless because it won't adhere to the dashboard. I enjoyed your Alien Tape review. That was a good comparison you did with Alien Tape to Nano Tape.

[@royfortunato]

Thanks - was going to buy it but mine are the type of walls / paint where the tape pulls off the paint. Great job challenging the ad. Also good straight forward informative style. Will look for more reviews. Where were you when I bought that Chicken Rotisserie from Ron Popeil.

Hi, Jeff...I still think I will pass on the Allen Tape...I just can't seem to really see much use for it...As always, thanks for the review...

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Haha. Thanks for the continued support. Have a great day.

[@tweetiebird]

I can think of a ton of things but on glass, metal and wood type surfaces. If you wanted to put something up to skew it in, it holds it in place hands free while skewing it in. To hold things on a surface in an RV so it won't fall when you are moving or acrylic shower where space is limited.

[@lendaryreviews]

I still love it. ^_^ just need to hold fabric and metal and wood. So... can't wait.

I think that I might actually get this to replace the backing that I use for Command hooks, as that sometimes fails when the hooks are used to hang things like jackets or my kids' backpacks. That and smaller items around my desk would be great.

It took off the paint and the paper on my wall. Not happy about that. Works great everywhere else for me.

I used alien tape with two small panels that I painted, both together weighing close to nothing yet both paintings fell off the wall taking the plaster with it. I know have to repair the two holes. And it doesn't work on glass either! I put a vynil Halloween decoration on the window and it kept fling off the window.

ruined my painted drywall in the bedroom. Have two large strips that I cannot remove from flat paint in the living room. Also used on splash around my stove and it works pretty well but when it gets warm the tile object taped to the wall slips. On the whole don’t recommend for heavy job and never on painted walls.

[@kellyborbely3765]

My pictures were up for a couple of months and it wrecked my wall/paint. 🙁 Maybe I used too much. I will try the twist method for the second picture.

Used it in our store to put small tile samples on walls. It let go, tiles fell and broke. Tried again with more tape on back and same thing. The longest one that stayed put was 2 months. Clean painted walls-no damage to walls. Would not buy or recommend.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

In my opinion this tape works pretty good on light weight items, not for things that have any weight. I have had success holding a picture to the wall but I ended up putting the tape all around the inside edge... that's all hanging a year later... however it used a lot of tape!

[@jenniferstinert5498]

Just wondering how old your paint was and what types of paints were on each surface. Not how old the paint was in the cans 😁. But how long ago the walls and exterior surfaces were painted because newly painted walls will peel easier with anything. For example, I purchased adhesive backsplash tiles and the instructions said you had to wait 3 months after painting before you can use them. What were the timeframes of the surfaces you used with regards to paint curing times?. Especially the exterior painted wood - what types of paint was on these surfaces ex. oil based vs latex.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

The green paint was relatively new...within 6 months or so. The white paint was pretty old, at least 5 years (that's how long I've owned this house). I found that the satin paint worked better for peeling the tape off as compared to the flat. I will say since this review I have found that heat is the enemy of the nano tape....a hair dryer will surely take off the tape. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@ThePrime206]

Yeah they don't tell you this in the As Seen On TV commercial but it will not work on flat finish paint it's better for satin semi-gloss or gloss because if you put it on a flat based paint it will destroy the paint job the best way to get this off a take a hairdryer on a low setting and warm it up

[@sergioknuf]

Will it stick to photo paper?

[@Print229]

Can you try it on textured plaster painted walls.

Hi, how do you remove This tape off of a FLAT painted drywall surface?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I've done it a couple of ways. Stretch it like a command strip, twist it, use a hair dryer to heat the tape. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍

[@AllenReinecke]

Looks like it might be good to temporarily hold multiple things together, like nuts and washers, so you can assemble them in tight spaces. I've used Superglue to do that. Looks like it'll do a good permanent job with glass and plastic [very smooth] surfaces. I have great success with Command strips on painted paneling. My pictures/photos are still good after 2 years!

[@tweetiebird]

Have you removed any of it yet to see if it damaged the paint?

[@BrianRose-cr8db]

Be very careful we had fairly light (maybe 2 lbs). Alien tape failed and ripped the paint and paper off the wall. Now we need to patch the spots and replace the frames as they were damaged when they fell off the wall. All in all I give alien take a -5 ( yes negative) on a scale of 1-10. I think they have way oversold its capabilities and shouldn’t sell this product any longer.

[@ruthiediaz5411]

Please try it with rug over carpet.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I've used it in a vinyl floor and a rug. My concern is it caused a large lump where the tape was...I prefer to use carpet tape, much thinner and gets the job done!

[@mrsnone]

So I used alien tape to install wall tapestries.. my question.. I am now moving and removing the tapestries from the wall.. 2 walls are on wood paneling and 1 is on painted drywall. It's been up for a few months and I can peel the tapestry loose from the tape but the tape itself is stuck to the wall. How do you remove the tape? It seems to just break into small pieces.. any ideas or suggestions? What about the drywall?

[@melodeelucido1446]

Thank you! New Sub 😊 BTW I haven't found alien tape to live up to the TV ads. pretty disappointed. I wouldn't buy it again

[@Allenw154]

I really want someone to try this stuff with angle brackets. Instead of the shelf causing a lever peeling force, the weight would press inward on the angle bracket on another piece of tape. Could be much stronger.

[@htz70]

How would this do to hold a popsocket or iRing to a phone case?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Initially it would probably hold but it would come off after time.

[@Kygrl8]

Unfortunately I didnt read everything just went off the infomercials I seen for it and it damaged my walls when I was trying to remove it. Ill stick with command strips from now on lol

[@drewgamezzz8482]

There’s actually a good wat to remove it without just yanking it off, heat lol! Like this1 guy used blow dryer n it come off without chipping paint, plus he didn’t just yank it, he did it slowly…

Hey this is my first time checking out your channel and really good stuff. Ok my question is can you try the tape for hanging shelves that will hold action figures (and if you do a vid with action figures don’t you dare say dolls) 😅 but stuff if that nature action figures, models, small statues that are of the comic/video game world. There are figures that I’ve been collecting that are a bit high price but are pretty durable as well as heavy from a company called joytoy and they are all from Warhammer 40K. Like I said they are durable but since they are somewhat heavy, damage can be done from a high fall. I’ve so far have dropped a few of them from about 3 to 4 feet and they haven’t been damage but still wouldn’t want to keep risking it. Also want to see if it would be ok to use on the figures themselves like on the feet to keep them in place. If not all good I’ll still stayed subbed to your channel and I’ll keep researching to see what could work for said items. 🤘😁🖤

[@tracyvega3586]

Hi Jeff. So we know it won't hold 17 lbs. But have to tested it by reducing the weight and seeing what it will hold?

[@efuuccckkkknvvvvvvatglenwi5042]

wondering about stained wood?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

It should stick if the wood is prepped correctly but you always run the risk of taking of some of the stain once removed.

[@ThePrime206]

This is a good product but what they do not tell you on the infomercial is that this will destroy a painted wall that has a flat or eggshell paint on it the best way to remove this is to take a hairdryer and warm it up and slowly peel it off while you're using the hair dryer

[@ajk5467]

I never got the chance to twist it off. The full length mirror fell off the wall! The tape was left behind and doesn't come off.

[@nolahofmann4976]

That's terrible!

[@krazyykitten]

In the directions it states to apply the tape across all of the edges the object that you are hanging and to press for 15-30 seconds. I noticed you did not do that. Maybe the 17 pounds would've held if the directions were followed? I'm not trying to be rude! I really enjoyed your video! 🙂

[@parishna4882]

Given the intended audience for this product, I don't see old ladies doing that either, and ripping the paint off their walls. if they were more honest about it in the advertisements, then I'd be more forgiving, but this is clickbait scamming.

it really varies...I put up a curtain rod in the camper and it fell from the heat...thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Keys and light office supplies might stay up until needed again. Stuff you normally store in a cupboard might need further review.

Can you tell me how to get it off my floors? I used it to keep my carpet in. Place, when I pulled the carpet up to clean my floors it torn the rug and left the alien tape

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Heat and humidity are the kryptonite of alien tape. Try a hair dryer to get the tape warm and see if that works.

[@janicethomas3775]

Do the instructions for the removal of an item, tell you to twist the stuck item then lift it off?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Yes; you twist it and it should release.

[@steviehannah4583]

Curious... I'm looking for something that will hold a vase or lamp onto a table if my cats run into the table or go crashing into item itself. Hoping the Alien Tape can secure an item to a table. Can you throw pillows at a cheap vase and the table so I can see if the item would go flying off the table? I need something like museum wax. Cat tornadoes. Thanks.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Lol. I taped bottles to a table and it held pretty strong. I'm not sure if it would survive a cat attack but it was difficult to knock over. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@MsKarenlu1]

are you using the original stuff which is pretty thick? I used some to hold a non sticky privacy plastic film on half a window. I could not remove it easily at all. Was I supposed to use water to get it off? I tried prying it off with my hands multiple timesand I was really not expecting the trouble at all. Plus for me it is too thick to put on a laminate floor with a runner or area rugl. In my experience, I’d never get it off.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Yes this is the original stuff. If you're able twisting the item will help release the tape. Getting the tape warm with a hair dryer also helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting

What about a textured wall?

[@conniebruns6539]

You didn't show if you cleaned the surface before applying. ?? You didn't let the wooden holder "set" to the wall before piling in the weight.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

you're right, make sure the surface is clean prior to using the tape and apply pressure for 30 seconds. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Snake oil salesmen have been around forever. Once, only once, my Mom said to me ‘Do you believe everything you hear/read?’ I knew the correct answer was ‘no’.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@crystalm4324]

Probably matters how old the paint is as well.

[@ScottMyers-ts7gb]

After six months I removed a small 4" X 6" picture and the alien tape took a huge chunk of paint and outer plaster from the dry wall. A big unpleasant joke on me. I can't recommend it for everything. BTW. The same thing happened to me that happened at 7:45 of your demonstration.

[@rumpanuthabetha]

You're supposed to heat it with a hairdryer before pulling it off.. I guess you wouldnt be able to get the hair dryer behind that plack

[@Jeffreviews4u]

that's true, it would be hard to use a hair dryer on something behind a frame. Thanks for the tip though!

This guy channel is dope

[@Jeffreviews4u]

As dope as they get. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Have a great day and stay safe.
