The tape is flexible and leaves no residue when removed from proper surfaces. Because it has a strong acrylic adhesive base, it’s not suitable for delicate surfaces such as wallpaper, painted surfaces, or broken walls. Ī budget-friendly option, this double-sided tape by Phinus works best on smooth surfaces, such as glass, metal, plastic, ceramic tile, and marble. Get the Gorilla double-sided tape at Amazon, The Home Depot, or Lowe’s. Removing the backing can sometimes be quite tricky for some users.
There seems to be a few pieces that might not have stayed exactly where they were supposed to. I'm not confident that I did the best job, though. It's very time consuming! But, with the shape of our game room, which leads down halls and stuff, it just didn't seem possible to lay the tape down the way it was recommended at icarpetiles. My method was to install approximately 5 pieces of tape for each square, kind of drawing off of the flor method with dots. We purchased the Duck brand 2-sided carpet tape rolls from Home Depot. I just finished installing about 1000 sq feet as a DIY'er.
