Review on Securely Anchor Your Rugs And Carpets With Our Double-Sided Rug Tape - Perfect For Hardwood Floors, Area Rugs, Carpeting, And Tile (2.5 Inch, 30 Yd) by Steve Arnold

I bought here a Safavieh runner made from a very tough textile.It had been rolled up tightly and just did not want to lay flat. I had difficulty getting the ends to stay down as well as parts in the middle wanting to ride up. I was using this tape already on other rugs but it was not working : Optimum Technologies Lok Lift Rug Gripper Slip-Resistant Rug Tape for Rugs and Mats, 2.5-Inches by 25-Feet . So I decided to try this Melca double sided tape. It did not work and I did request a refund for the unused portion, which Revain approved. The ad claims a few things so I will address them all. I also posted a photo of the floor after taking up the rug - I am not sure how I will get it off, I ordered acetone to try that. The rubber backed rug I put over the tape until I can get it off did not want to come off when I wanted to take the photos. I recommend if you have tile floors to try something else, like the Lok Lift tape I used. It both holds and comes off fine."Highest viscosity available provides the strongest and longest hold, Leaves absolutely no residue" The tape left no residue on the CARPET but the floor is another story. I used a lot of the tape trying to get the rug to stay down, and when I pulled up rug to return it, the tape all stayed behind. If i walk on it, I cannot get my foot/shoe off without a struggle. What a mess."Stream out a long strand without it becoming totally stuck and wrapped around something"This is not the case. This is the MOST sticky tape I have ever dealt with. If it touches anything before you get it on the rug or floor, it will stick and does not want to easily come off."Optimal weight and pliability, the best tape on the market is easy to handle, apply and remove" I already spoke of how it is NOT easy to remove. Maybe they mean from the carpet, but they need to think about tile floors!
