tesa 4965 Original Double-Sided PET Film Tape, Transparent, .5 in x 36 yd, 1 Roll

This "red-line" tape (scrappers call it that because of the red backing) is phenomenal. It is the best tape for crafting things like boxes when you need super holding power. When I am using cardboard or grungeboard to make a box or book, I use several lines of this and have never had one come apart. I use the other tape runners for cards, things that are not meant to last forever... but for scrap booking, this is on my "must have" list. Not messy like wet adhesives, and holds permanently.

This tape is strong and easy to use. I used it to fix my roller curtain and it was just the right choice.

Worked great, to reattach weatherguard in channel window vents. Actually better than what they originally came with.

So I ordered this hoping it would really be super strong. I heard a comment the other day by Dena Reko (you tube creativity cave), she said that adhesive is Very personal, I happen to agree. Some are simply better than others and depending on the climate you live in (hot and humid vs. dry and arid), you may find trying different adhesives a bit madding... with having said that, so far, I am pretty pleased with this particular roll of tape, I use it to adhere my foam tape (because the sticky that is already on it isn't strong enough) and many layers as well. The width of this tape is nice for larger areas as well

This tape is one of the best I have found. I am so happy that you carry it in a large roll and such a great price. Please keep selling it!!! I use a lot of it because I make home made cards, more than 300 a year on average. I make 18 X 12 special anniversary cards and others that have 3-D embellishments that require a tape that holds well. I don't like glue on these. If anyone wants a tape that holds, this is it!

Didn’t work for me. I used it on a cement based wall that I covered with waterproofing and tried to hang a light mirror with the tape. Fell off after two days. Tried it on some block without the waterproofing and it didn’t work either. Using it as expensive two sided tape for art projects.

I love this tape! Not sure what the complaint about it being made by a subcontractor has anything to do with the quality, although if you need it to say "TESA" on the the item then this tape isn't for you. I personally don't care about whether it's made directly by a company or by a subcontractor, to me it's all about the quality. I find this tape to be fabulous, it sticks well and seems like it will hold a very long time. I highly recommend this product for fellow paper artist.

Works great for re-attaching auto side moulding. I have 25 plus years as autobody tech. Even though it's not Tessa brand ( which kinda irks me! ) It's Marian brand, made in Chicago? seems to be the same stuff. We used Tessa tape all the time in the shop when insurance companies were too cheep to buy customer new mouldings. Anyhow, the trick is to get the old moulding off with as much of the old tape left on as possible , then clean old double sided tape with lacquer thinner and let dry. use heat gun or hair drier to get old tape good and hot, apply one or two layers of Tessa tape over old tape ( peeling off backing if layering ) clean paint on vehicle good, lay down a strait line of masking tape for guide on vehicle, remove backing from tape and get moulding good and warm again and lay on vehicle using masking tape as guide, press down with firm pressure.
