Are both sides of the tape covered with a paper or wax material? I don't want a sticky side before I use it. I need to cut it into strips before hand.

On the spool, the outer side is covered with the wax paper, but it's sticky on the inside. You can still easily cut strips before using, but be careful because it's strong! I also found that after a bit of cutting, I had to clean my scissors using GooGone or something similar because the adhesive would build up on the scissors. LOVE the product though... plenty sticky and perfect for so many projects.

As far as I can tell it's just aluminum. It does have sticky substance added to one side, of course. I bought it to replace shielding in an old iMac that I planned to open, but I"ve read that people use it to close up insulation and simply as an alternative to other kinds of tape.

I truly don't remember if there was any tape in it. But i do remember being dissapponted on how quickly the tape ended on the first days i used it. It probably had some small test roll in it already, since later replaced rolls have lasted for a while. Google product description, i'm sure it's mentioned somewhere.

Precut and self stick need to be outlawed. I bought a few strips for my outdoor wooden stairs and within a month it needed to be replaced. I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to spend hours removing a sticky residue left over. A friend of mine told me about an aluminum tread that doesn't require tape. listing asin B006T131GO.

When I apply my tape, I doing so, to keep it in place. I've had no need to peel it of (as of yet). As a matter of fact, I reinforce it w/ a layer of another clear tape to keep it in place. I hope that helps...kj

I didn't have a problem with it - I just used my fingernail to peel up the light-colored paper backing, exposing the shiny black adhesive backing of the felt strip. You could try with the edge of a sharp knife (carefully), like an exacto knife.

I used tape...but it all depends on what you are using in for. I cut it up and wrapped boxes to make a fireplace.

The first length of tape doesn't have a separable backing, but you can cut off that length and use the rest of the tape as normal. The roll is double-sided and ready to go, with no backing to remove along the way (unlike some scrapbooking tapes, photo squares, etc). So, throw away the first bit and enjoy!

Yes, it is very hard to remove this tape- it really sticks in place. I decided to move the light and finally I ended up using my blow dryer and a very thin knife blade to loosen the tape from a wood cabinet. Then I used "Goof Off" to remover the adhesive from the wood. It was a job, but the heat helped to limber up the attachment plate where I could get a thin blade under it and cut the tape. I used heavy duty double stick tape to re-attach the plate, and I made absolutely sure that I had it where I wanted it before I pressed it into place. Wow, what a mess, but I do really love this light! I hope this will help you!! Yes, it is very hard to remove this tape- it really sticks in place.

Yes the strips are like small peices of tape. And stick just like tape would.

The tape is pretty thick and needs to be cut. If you try to tear, all you do is just stretch it a little.

We use scissors. It is a great tape. The best double sided available for the price.

No it is not. You have to be real careful with it or it can ruin your tape.

The tape is double sided, the sticky part, when you take it off the roll goes on the cushion. The other end has a thin protective film which comes off after a little bit of scratching on the corner.

The tape is not coated, but a composite type, i.e., made from some colored polymer, don't know what, but verytough. I am very pleased with it. Oh, you will need some very sharp scissors to cut it cleanly.

This tape is probably too weak for that unless the polyurethane molding you are using is very thin. This only really good for something the weight of paper. Even heavy poster paper doesn't work for it either. For anything substantial, I would probably use sticky putty adhesive that can be peeled off. You can search for it under "putty adhesive".

The metallic tape=yes, the adhesive... maybe if you said exactly what you mean by that, or better your intended or desired use you'll get better answers.
