The order: Strong, double-sided tape for 2.58 euros
Stinginess is horny and the hardware store senselessly overpriced. So this offer came just in time! I’m happy to get one taped if it costs next to nothing. So on to the self-experiment!
Unpacking and testing
Ok, so because of the price I’m already full of the role, because the hardware store I trust would have gladly four times for this size. Since I use very often Power Tape and want to know beforehand how well such a product also sticks, I have already developed a kind of standard test for me.
I stick about 3 cm of tape on the lid of my fragrance freshener in the laboratory bath. Since it’s always the same product, you can make pretty good comparisons. The surface is not smooth, but the tape must be soft enough and it must be easy to press it on with the finger. Then simply peel off the protective film and…
… stick the whole thing to the previously grease-free cleaned tile. And hello, now don’t think anything naughty. By the way, on the right we see my disinfectant dispenser, which was stuck on with four tiny 1 cm x 1 cm 3M pads. Capacity 300 ml plus dead weight (metal) and the lever also needs good pressure. Holds but since 2020 and Corona bombproof. Since such a light spray can should not really be an issue.
What do you mean, should? It is an issue, unfortunately. After not even 10 minutes, the part fell clattering to the ground. Adhesive strength on the plastic? Went against zero.
And also the adhesive tape hung only half on the tile. Reusable? What a good joke. Whereby the tape itself is completely witless.
Processing and material
Under the microscope I look at the tape from the side, so to speak the so-called one millimeter of transparent adhesive strength.
However, the tape is not even a millimeter thick, but only 0.8 mm. And it was not cut very cleanly either.
The carbon content is not very high, although here, too, the analysis of the molecules and chains must be left out. But at least there are no heavy metals in it that could shorten my life. Only the adhesive strength is a mystery. Who now misses the metal U like Uhu, is not so wrong.
Conclusion
Pointless copy of an adhesive product in the category “Does not hold what it promises and should stick”. A pity for the money and also misleading because it is not reusable. Or better: It is not reusable at all! At most as a projectile. But there it does also a free stone from the street.
