First off, let me say this tape is NO JOKE when it comes to sticking power. I used it to mount some LED strips under my kitchen cabinets, and let me tell you, those babies aren't going anywhere! The adhesive is seriously strong - maybe too strong if you're not careful with placement.

The application process was... interesting. That red protective liner is a beast to remove! I ended up using the included plastic tool (thank goodness they thought of that) because my nails just weren't cutting it. Pro tip: have your positioning perfect before fully compressing the tape - once it's on, it's ON.

I did notice a pretty strong chemical smell during application that gave me a slight headache. It dissipated after about an hour though, and now I can't smell it at all. The tape has held up perfectly through some steamy cooking sessions, so the waterproof claim seems legit.

Value-wise, this roll is massive compared to what you'd get at a hardware store for the same price. I've used about 10 feet so far and barely made a dent in the roll. It's become my go-to for all sorts of random household fixes.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely - but with some caveats. This isn't for temporary applications or anything you might want to reposition later. And maybe open a window when you're working with it!
