I learnt the other day that packaging is often designed to optimise the space in shipping containers. A product package might seem illogical when you open it, but when boxed up in multiples in the brown cardboard boxes, they form a standard size that will fit, in multiples, on a wooden pallet, which is in turn sized to minimise the wasted space in the shipping container. So the box for the instructions is mostly there as a filler to stop the tape moving in the box. Imagine the effect of over 10,000 rolls in 3,500 sales packages, all packed on a wooden pallet if they were free to roll a couple of inches. It could make the pallet unstable. The size of the packaging was the smallest standard form size that would contain the rolls, without having to get the packaging company to make a new custom cutting die for a slightly smaller box.

What all these test videos forget is that just like alot of adhesives this tape works alot better after it's had some time to set in. They can also sometimes work far better when clamped into place for an extended period of time and not just pushed on with a few pounds of pressure. I say this knowing that it's not always the case but I have used double sided Gorilla tape (i believe that was the brand) but when it failed the first time after loading the shelf right after I put a weight against it for an entire day and it feels like it's bolted to the wall now.

This stuff works best on closed surfaces like tiles, glass, you name it. It also requires quite an amount of initial pressure - the more, the better it works sticks.

[@michaelclerkin8978]

Glueing parallel to the grain on your plywood made the strength of the tape weaker since the tape was pulling slivers of wood off. You're depending on the integrity of the plywood as well as how sticky the tape is which compromises the test a little. Taping a shelf to drywall will give you better results.

[@doranselwyn8608]

Right because some who doesn't want to make a nail hole is going to want to peel off the paint. What a useful test that would be.

[@bbroogs]

Looks like a giant version of the adhesive inside 3M strips. They instruct to wipe the surface with rubbing alcohol, press together firmly for a total of 60 seconds, and let wall-connected strips cure for 1 hour, removing the object and its connected strips on it for that curing time. You can't do that ofc because this is a one, not two-piece solution, but you can support the object for longer and/or use clamps. You might get better results, but also might not haha. Even the 3M strips say not to hang high value items, or over your bed headboard (ow!), and I've seen them, albeit very rarely, fail over time on heavier objects. Anyway just some context, great vid as usual!

It peels apart when a moment is applied to pull edges away from each other. You have to orient it properly for best results.

You really need to revisit this. The instructions actually address some things you tried. For instance, it says that any application over painted surfaces or sheet rock are permanent. Also, they suggest applying pressure for 15 seconds on initial application, and then another 15-30 seconds when attaching the object to the tape. You were a bit more hasty. Furthermore, it goes on to say not to use on surfaces that are not even. You could see when attaching to the wood (and the shelf) you didn't have 100% contact as they direct. You would need to sand the wood down to be smooth before it would be an honest test Finally, the surfaces must be clean before you attach it. So their reusable claim may still hold up if you follow the instructions. Lets be clear, I'm just as dubious about its efficacy as you, but you test results are just as dubious :)

The box for the instructions is not so much for the instructions, it's more so there to provide padding to ensure the product is not rattling or moving around inside the packaging. Since there's only 3 rolls of tape in the packaging, the 'instructions box' takes up the 4th space. This is very common in most modern packaging, especially smart phones.

better off just using industrial grade double sided tape for that, especially if you're looking for something permanent. I used the stuff to add LED strips in my computer case, and it's been holding after 5 years. This stuff is basically the exact same stuff but way more expensive and way lower quality, it just shows the power of marketing.

Which strongest 1mm tape would you recommend to stick clips for silicone cases of cell phone?

Used 3M double sided tape to hold plastic holders to a wodden cabinet. 3M failed afterr about Six Months. Cleaned the surfaced, and stuck Alien Tape on. Failed in less than 24 hours. Tried to peel the tape off. It came off with difficulty like snot. So much for peeling of to reuse.

It will tear the fabric on rug but does hold well. Will eventually destroy rug. However I do like that it’s not moving , keeps it flat and doesn’t get caught under door.

Ridge is probably the only sponsored products on youtube that I might consider buying.

Tyler: Wow! It’s solid. Me: I would hope so, you’re jumping on the floor😂

Please make a video comparing this stuff to scotch double sided tape! I wonder if it could hold the same shelf!

[@evilgenius3646]

Is it possible the tape has a "cure time" for stuff like shelves?

[@gainesken52]

Of course you"re right....but most of these geniuses wouldn't know anything so elementary...

[@mariahmakinen6887]

I'd heard of this stuff and had my doubts it could hold anything up nearly as well as the adds show that it "does". Watching this confirms what I thought.

[@marydavis5234]

he did not read all of the direction, you need to let the shelf set over night before putting anything on it, and on the back it actually says to use on clean flat surfaces only and not to put it on painted walls or drywall as it will seal permanently.

Test the shelf again with a gusset.

Reminds me of sticky hands.. soapnand water to wash makes it brand new. Rinse with clean water.. dry then apply.

[@McWorky]

If I were using this tape, after seeing that it is elastic, I would stretch it to make it longer and last longer, then apply it, this will not only make it last longer, it will create horizontal friction making it more taught and give it a better grip.
