What is Mounting Tape?
Mounting tape is a strong double-sided foam-based tape that is used to hang items. It comes in a variety of strengths and types. One side of the backing is peeled off the tape and stuck to an object, then the other side of the backing is peeled off exposing the adhesive. The object is then set into place where desired. Some mounting tape is permanent. For this reason, it is advisable to lay out a project and decide exact placement before removing the backing from the tape. Manufacturers will advertise their product as removable if is it possible to cleanly move the tape. Some companies have a pull strip that allows the product to come easily free from the wall. Indoor mounting tape is available in a variety of widths and weights. The heaviest tapes are able to hold up to 2lbs (.91 kg). Some come in a roll that needs to be cut to the size required for a particular usage, while others come in pre-cut squares. It can be used on many surfaces from tile, mirrors, glass, walls, and more.
