This stuff is amazing, ignore the bad reviews.
All of the negative reviews here are from people who lack common sense and basic knowledge of DIY, have unrealistic expectations, or both. This product is INCREDIBLY strong if you USE IT CORRECTLY. If you expect it to adhere to a low surface energy substrate like foam or cardboard, then no, of course it isn't going to work well. If you use it on a proper HIGH surface en...

Terrible experiences fix this product
Nearly impossible to remove the backing tape on one side. Absolutely terrible product and complete waste of money

Go with Gorilla Glue brand instead
It would work great IF you could get the backing off of the second side. The folks who figured out how to manufacture Post-It notes can’t put a 1/16” wider backing on the adhesive tape to help remove it. Wasted half a roll for 6” of tape! I’m went back for the Gorilla brand. Same hold strength but 50 cents more. It was worth it! Get it together folks!

Does not work
I just purchased double-sided clear, indoor-outdoor, mounting strips. What am I missing? The tape is advertised as being double sided tape. The description on this web page says adhesive on both sides. There is no adhesive on one side. There should be two (2) backings (in your words 'liner'). There is only on -- where the adhesive is. This 'tape' is worthless.

Sticky
Actual adhesive doesn't seem as sticky as a few years ago.
But then again, the side with the peel off backing is next to impossible to remove.

Clearly not designed well
Removing the clear strip to expose adhesive side was absurdly difficult and resulted in much wasted product.

Scotch Double-sided Tape: Don't Waste Your Money
Scotch Mount Clear Double-sided tape is very difficult to use. I tried cutting several pieces and was unable separate the backing. I ended up throwing the tape out.

For hard surfaces as per specifications
I love this product. Been using it for decades. Cuts best with scissors with a steep bevel edge, as do all adhesive products.

NO ability to remove backing
I am amazed that a product would be sold with NO ability to remove the backing!!! I had to resort to a Youtube trick, using a dress makers pin...literally felt like I was performing surgery. I will NOT buy or recommend this product to anyone.

Difficult to use
Product is easy to attach to the surface - removing the backing tape, is very difficult. There is no pull tape or other way to easily remove the backing. I had to go to the web and found similar experiences. One suggested "roughing-up the backing by scraping it with a credit card or knife's edge first, and then trying to pick at the edge of the backing. I tried it,...

Can't remove the other side!!!
It's easy to pull the white covering off one side, but for the life of me, I can't get the covering off the other side!! 3M went to great effort to put their logo on the clear side, but don't provide a way to remove the other side!
It's also quite annoying to read that the customer service is only during working hours M-F. I bought this junk on a weekend, and I'll be...

The price is a great feature. That's about it.
I bought this product, the clear double-sided moaning strips, and it can only peel the protective coating off one side. The other side which we need because it's double-sided, cannot be removed the coating.

Quality product that lives up to the label
I use this double sided clear tape to mount electronic equipment inside my large scale remote control air planes. Failure could cause a crash and weight of any material is important. This product really delivers. Permanent hold, insulates equipment from engine vibration and easily removed with a twist of the equipment. Love this product. Love the quality and perfor...

Not great for painted walls
I find the Gorilla mounting tape much stronger. Also, when I used this on a painted wall it took the paint off when I removed it.
