Review on πŸ“¦ Clear Double Sided Tape: Heavy Duty, Strong Adhesive, 2 inch Wide - 90FT x 2'' by Christopher Wiggins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Do not use in a hot kitchen!

Bought to keep my two little kittens (3 and 4 months old) from jumping on the kitchen table as an early training technique (when I got this neither of them tried to jump up the switches). It was easy to use. After putting the strips on, the white backing came off fairly easily as other reviewers have mentioned. It seems I left these strips on the kitchen tables for probably three weeks total, but that was July. Even though I'm in PNW, I don't have air conditioning anywhere in my apartment and I'm on the third floor. In the kitchen it's probably 85. The counter next to the stove where I use my toaster was VERY hard to get to. The counter next to the sink was fairly easy to remove. Keep this heat factor in mind. I had to use a razor blade to remove the tape on the first (toaster) rack, then lots of WD40 and a plastic scraper to remove the remaining adhesive. It was two nights! And to top it off, my very energetic 3 month old kitten could jump onto the counter and not mind the sticky feeling one bit. So that didn't stop him at all. The other kitty is smaller and less adventurous and hasn't tried jumping on the counters yet (and I've removed all the tape in the meantime anyway), so I don't know how she would react to being sticky.
