Would this tape work for making designs on carpet? I need something that will stick, but something that wont be permanent .

This is a VERY low tack masking tape. It will work on carpet, but peels up really easily. It would probably work on a berber better than a plusher type of carpet.

Yes! I bought this tape for my preschool class. I used this tape to make "X" on the carpet so the kids know where their seat is. I just pulled up last years because they were looking a little worn. The tape came right up without a fight. Do be careful on the floor. Although it does come up, it is a bit more challenging because the tape will come up in small pieces.

I don't believe this type of tape would work for your project. This is more like masking tape--not duct tape. I would try some of the Duck Tape brand tapes. They come in different colors and designs. (Unless you just need a design for show and not for walking on)

We use this tape at our school all the time on carpet. It sticks well but will come off if needed

It is very strong tape. It holds pieces of carpet on our hardwood stairs with everyone running up and down, including two dogs. I recommend it for your purpose. I don't know about residue as we never take our carpet pieces up. We just vacuum them in place. You could read and see if the glue is water soluble, hence washable.

Probably would stick well. But keep in mind this is a thick tape and would stick out.

I have hardwood floors. I purchased this to prevent pets from chewing my speaker wires. This product is so stiff and is coiled in a circle, that no tape except very thick special double sided tape from a hardware store would stick it down flat. That being said, I don't think this is made to stick to carpet. Find another solution. That's my advice. How these others "flattened it", so that you wouldn't trip on it, I cannot fathom. I worked on it for weeks before sticking it and it never flattened out. I have it across a doorway and do not want to trip on something sticking up like a hump in the doorway. I have hardwood floors.

I think that this would work wonderfully for that. It sticks very well, dries quickly and is clear once dried. I used a paint brush for my projects and they turned out wonderfully.

I haven't used the tape for that purpose, but here's my educated guess. The first consideration is adherence. The glue on the tape is very strong and it seems to hold well over time on smooth surfaces. I think you would be able to get the tape to stick to a smooth and curved surface like a shower hand grip if it's smooth. If the surface of the grip is bumpy at all, it probably won't work. The second consideration is moisture. I don't have any first-hand knowledge of this because my tape is not exposed to water. There is another review where the person stated they used it on the stairs of their outdoor wooden playset. It sounds like the tape had some peeling at the corners after a summer of use. From that, my guess would be that the tape might work for your purpose but you might need to replace it occasionally if it is in contact with water/steam.

It does stick. And in my experience, can be finicky about where exactly it's sitting. You could certainly try to not peel the tape and just use it, but not sure how successful you might be.

It's similar to tape you might use for painting. It's not meant to be a permanent tape -- it's really designed for kids.

We have only used it on the rug. My guess would be yes though as it does have seemingly real adhesive. You can always used it on a poster board and out it away when done

We got for heat resistance so not sure it would work for what you want. It is strong but thin. I think i would try duck tape for what you want comes in every color now.

Hi Maria, #1 the product definitely worked to keep the carpet down on hardwood floors. The tape is easy to pull off once you get it started but it definitely left a sticky residue and removed the varnish off of my hardwood floors. I had put the carpet runner down in January 2013 and removed it May 2013, so it was on my hardwood floor for about 5 months. My floor now needs to be buffed and redone because the damage is extensive and obvious. I didn't use it carpet on carpet so I can't speak to that. Hope this information helps in your decision to use this product.

No. Do not use this for a ceiling. It is only good for taping carpet seams together. It would not be a permanent solution for a ceiling and it would not look good trying to paint it. If your ceiling is drywall, I'd try using drywall tape and joint compound. Good luck.

I believe that this tape will, but you will not be able to remove the rubber mat easily if you use it to secure it to the floor. It is quite strong and will adhere to rough surfaces.

I would have to look at a can. Don't know. But I can say this, as sticky as #77 adhesive is, it doesn't seem suitable for anything but paper/cardboard type work.

From my experience I would not advise these for carpet. The adhesive never really sets so the pads can shift, exposing the carpet to potential damage.

It would depend on the tape that you use as the runner itself is not at all sticky. But it is very thin, so a good, thick tape would work.

If it is carpeted I doubt it would stay attached very long and may be hard to write on as well, since these are thing sheets. I attached mine to our refrigerator and it is working wonderfully for our toddler to draw on. I've even wiped it down with a damp rag several times since the chalk doesn't always erase completely. But it's meant for a hard surface not fabric.
