Gummed Kraft Paper Tape - 2.5 Inches x 600 Feet

Good stuff, works right, fair price!

I got this tape to create a paper Dressmaker's Dummy and it worked fabulously well. I got 2 rolls, but 1 was more than enough - I had extra leftover. The photo is deceptive in a good way - the roll looks HUGE when you receive it! I pre-cut piles of pieces in varying lengths, and had my helper wrap them around my torso. I wore a sacrificial long sleeve Tshirt of thin material and this tape stuck to it very well. It only required 3 layers for the form to be stiff enough to hold shape and be carefully cut off. We impressed a line down my spine to help it fold there, then cut down the middle front. It was easy to use more tape to put the form back together. The next day form is completely dry, and additional layers can be added to the interior for strength. The resulting dressmakers form is strong, stiff, lightweight. I am glad I got a second roll so I can make another dressmaker form for my daughter.

I bought this to use with some hard board for stretching my lighter weight watercoloring paper prior to painting. I have a feeling it's going to last me a very long time. I've used it twice, and both times the tape failed to stick to the paper. It stuck to the board well enough but that doesn't do any good if it doesn't stick to the paper, which still buckled and warped upon drying. It may be due to operator error, I suppose. I haven't given up yet; I'll keep trying, and update my review if things improve. In terms of value for money, assuming the product sticks as intended, it's great. In terms of pennies per foot, you can't beat it. You have to do a lot of large paintings to get through 600 feet of this stuff. Would I buy it again? RIght now, I'd have to say no, but only because I haven't gotten it to work properly for me yet. If I get the knack of it, I definitely would.

Kraft paper tape in general is amazing. If your still using regular tape for shipping, your missing out. Doesn't hurt if you also have a kraft tape dispenser like I do too. One thing to be aware of though I as learn is that you probably shouldn't buy a lot of rolls if your planning on not using it for long because if there's any moisture whatsoever you might as well throw away the roll. I think this brand had the threads underneath it but I'm not sure since it was long ago; that's another thing too is that if your shipping something, you want the threads on the bottom. I would check with the manufacturer.

Well, I got this because I'm frugal (cheap) and heard it would work as a replacement overnight wrinkle patch... And it totally does! I just go about my regular skincare routine, let the final moisturizer settle in. I VERY GENTLY dab water on a thin strip of tape, place it north south above my nose to my hair line (covering up the 11s lines between my eyes) and then gently lay a thicker width strip perpendicular across the width of my forehead. When I wake up, my lines are almost completely smoothed (no small feat - I'm middle aged, very fair skinned and seem to scowl about a lot of things, lately). It's been a few months of wearing my fake frownies and it's made a HUGE difference in the depth of my forehead and between-the-eyebrow lines. And seriously I'm never running out of this tape. There's enough tape in one roll for another 40 years of squinting and scowling at terrible election results. :)

So this may seem odd, but we did not use this to seal packages for shipping, Instead, we used it to create a body double for a seamstress so she could make an competition dress for Irish step dancing to be used at the world championships. To that end, it worked great! Very sticky when wet, dried and cured fast, and stayed stable through shipping of the mannequin. Highly recommended!

Does NOT work for me. I can see how it's similar type of stuff, and I tried it for almost a month. It didn't smooth out my forehead wrinkles at all like Frownies does, in the mornings it was just hanging off my face, and sometimes even created new lines/marks. Now I have this giant roll of something I have no idea what it's actually for. So yeah, don't bother with that review of a Frownies dupe. Frownies are expensive for what it is but they do help!

This roll is HUGE. I ordered it for a cardboard art project and I barely made a dent in this roll. I ended up donating the rest of it to my professor for next year's students. It worked really well for my project, blends in with most cardboard so you can't even tell it's there. Just make sure to wet the tape with a small sponge (damp but wrung out) so it's not too wet or too dry
