I am an artist and love to use copper in many of my creations. For a while I used material I found at hardware stores, but now I'm having a harder time finding copper tape. So I bought this brand in 2 sizes and they are absolutely perfect for my needs. The adhesive is strong even after copper patination. This allows me to rinse it off with water and the paper will peel off so I can glue it to my project. It breaks easily, but that doesn't bother me!
