Mammoth Powerful Grip Tape

great for the intended use.

I got this tape to glue back on a car wing mirror glass that had come unstuck. Other reviews have said that it doesn't even stick to your fingers when opening it - all I can say is that they must have had grease on their hands. First up, I found it hard to even get the plastic wrapping off from around the tape as the glue is so sticky. Ok, when off I tried to lift a section, as you would do with celetape for instance. It was so sticky that my fingers stuck to it - yes "like glue". I tried to cut a piece from the roll using sharp scissors - no joy, as once again the plastic glue substance made it too hard to cut it. The tape has a fabric interior which makes it a tough base that will not tear. I had to use an ultra sharp craft-type knife to cut a section which was laid on the back of the mirror glass. Further sections were put on and then I lifted the backing paper to reveal the up-facing sticky layer. The instructions clearly say make sure that you place your object correctly before pressing down - boy are they right !! It also says that it takes 48-hours for the maximum adhesion to take place. Even straight off the roll this stuff would stick an elephant to a wall !! For jobs like I used it for there is no substitute - I thought of using superglue itself, but that stuff can be very problematic and unlike this product, is not entirely water/snow/sun proof. Buy it and keep as a quick fix super sticker

This review is specific to using a range of tapes to attach mountings for perspex shelves to bathroom tiles. I needed to bond chrome plated mountings to smooth ceramic tiles, without any significant twisting. After much research I settled on three candidates to try. These tapes may be better or worse for different applications. 1) Jurasstic High Bond Tape: this tape has a very sticky and strong adhesive (it even sticks to the scissors when trying to cut off a length, so be careful with the angle of cut). It is made of about 0.5mm thick clear gel, so has slight give to help fitting, but not too much that the shelves sag. The gel hardens slightly after fitting. It has a plastic film backing, which makes it easier to remove than waxed paper equivalents - it can be detached from the adhesive and doesnt tear. This tape also comes in a plastic package, which is ideal for storing, so it doesnt stick to anything else or get contaminated. It claims to be suitable for outdoor use, so should handle damp conditions in the bathroom. For my purpose, this is the best option. 2) Mammouth Tape Powerful Grip: First off, this comes wrapped in a plastic covering to stop the adhesive at the side of the tape sticking to the card packaging - this is a pig to remove. Once removed, I suspect this will become a pain once rest of the roll is left lying in my toolbox, and it will either stick to everything, or collect debris that will degrade the edge of the tape. The adhesive is strong, and seems to have strengthening fibres embedded; that wont help the strength of sticking, but could stop it from tearing. As the Jurasstic, it sticks to scissors when cutting: it is a very similar adhesive, but seems slightly thinner. As the adhesive goes to the edge of the backing and overlaps ever so slightly, it sticks to the layer below on the roll, making unrolling more difficult than the Jurasstic. Very similar to the Jurasstic in terms of performance, but let down by the construction of the overall product (specifically the width and material for the backing). 3) 151 Hard as Nails: I was optimistic about this, given 151s reputation for other products. However, it is an adhesive backed foam that gives too much movement for my purpose - the shelf sags as the foam allows the mountings to twist slightly. This would be an advantage for applications that need some give, but not for me. The adhesive is not particularly strong - stronger than normal sticky tape, but doesnt inspire the same confidence in the "suction" the other gel product offer - it doesnt stick to the scissors nearly as much, and doesnt feel like it would rip your skin off if you touch it! It is very easy to unroll, but the backing paper tears easily when trimming. This product is probably better suited where some give is needed and more area can be covered to give strength. It doesnt inspire confidence on small fittings in a bathroom. For all these products, the surfaces you are bonding are important, and cleanliness is critical. Any dust or flakey surface will stick to the adhesive but then detach from the substrate; dont expect miracles - they can only stick to the surface, and if the surface isnt up to the job, then you need something else. I found there was an almost invisible layer of grout dust on the tile surface, and that bonded well to the tapes but they fell off the wall - thats my error, and not a fault of the products. So clean and prepare well beforehand.

Very strong double sided tape. It will hold a lot of weight and it works inside and outside, fully weather proof. Easy to cut the tape to the required length and I have no doubts the items secured wont fall off any time soon.

I wanted to use this tape to attach the wires to my satnav. It is VERY sticky and difficult to remove and leaves a sticky residue

I used this to repair an ikea picture where the backing board had come away from the frame, it is super sticky and has stayed up for over a year. It was much easier to use than glue. I don’t think it would be easy to remove.

I use this on a regular basis for a variety of applications I have stuck up pir,s and magnetic door contacts ,, stuck down vinyl flooring,,, used it to stick up perspex to a wall,, the only advice I would give you is use nail varnish remover or UPVC cleaner if using on plastics for example,,,and make sure that both surfaces being adhered to are cleaned to perfection ,, it is prone to unravelling itself from the plastic backing so keep it somewhere clean when you are not using it as like i said,, its is brilliant and it does exactly what it's designed to do but it's not cheap,,, and I have wasted half a roll a couple of times when I've just thrown into the back of the van instead of putting it away somewhere proper,,, next time I look 1m has unravelled and loads of crap is stuck to it🙄

This must be my third or fourth roll of this tape, it's really handy stuff. It'll stick most things to most things and most things will stay stuck. It does have its limitations because it's quite thick, so in some cases a glue or thinner tape is better. It'll also pull your wallpaper off if you're not careful (try rolling it off if you can instead). Otherwise it's excellent strong tape and I always have a roll in the house because it's such a quick fix. I wish they sold longer rolls of it, but the 50mm version can last a while because often you can just cut strips off width ways (try using serated scissors rather than normal ones, it tends to stick otherwise). To sum up - great tape, wouldn't be without it.
