"Used this to hang solar light on house."
"For more information about the tape than you care to know, search for "3m 4011 datasheet" - 3M has one that talks about it's construction, adhesive tests, and bondline elongation results among other things. It is kind of a pain to remove the red protective layer, so if you need to fit it in a tight spot, peel of a corner first before placing it. I've used to attach a Oxo SteeL Kitchen Tool and Utensil Rack to a metal backsplash (where I couldn't screw into it) and I've also used it to mount surge protectors to the underside of desks to move it out of the way."
"The picture shows a glittery plastic cat decoration I hung with a small (1”) bit of this tape in October."
"Bought this for some child safety cabinet locks."
"at first i was worried that it may not get stuck to my wallpaper but after i hang my poster with this Scotch Tape on the back of it, i knew that it was love from first sight LOL!"
"I use this to affix light things to my house like house numbers and signage."
"Yep, there was the light, on the ground in two pieces with the tape securely attached to the back of the base, but not a bit on the wall. I suspect that this tape would be great on light weight objects that have a wide enough base or backing to permit you to place long strips of tape before applying to the surface, and for that perhaps I should have given this a higher rating."
Never let how you're going to hang it get in the way of your creativity with the powerful adhesion of Scotch Indoor Mounting Tape. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.

"Maybe a little more expensive than it once could be found at department stores (the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars), etc."
"I have a cabinet that holds fine china, so I rarely use it, yet it won't stay shut."
"Really good product."
"This is great stuff."

The XFasten Magnetic Strip’s magnets are extremely strong and its adhesive will stick to many surfaces. Magnetic Tapes are composed of two layers of magnets of the opposite poles, hence it will not attract itself or other magnets. Adhesive liner is compatible to smooth porcelain tiles, plastic, metallic and concrete walls making it perfect for DIY projects on the office, bathroom, garage, kitchen or living room.

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I got this glue gun to wrap up my Halloween costume, I would have gotten my money's worth if it had broken straight afterwards, but with two sticks Ive done that, fixed my sandals, fixed a loose desk leg, and a loose drawer, & its still going strong. Most projects you would use one for will have you working with pretty flammable materials, a traditional gun plugs in to power the gun, then heats up for the entire time you have it plugged in, and many don't feature the nice little stand this one has, so putting it down hastily to go finish your cooking, not such a good plan."
"This glue gun comes with 25 glue sticks, which, in my opinion, is enough to last a lifetime!"
"Many other small glue guns do not have these features and I find it to be time saving where you can just switch it off without having to unplug it."
"Also, since the "kickstand" is about as thick as a paperclip, it is very movement sensitive and will easily knock over if your table or surface isn't 100% solid and still. My pink one is a small $3.00 one from the craft store cashier's counter that I grabbed when I let a friend borrow my heavier duty blue one on the right side of the picture. I do wish the kickstand was a little more sturdy or for the hand grip to have some sort of flat standing support, like my larger glue gun has. I have been shopping on Amazon for 10 years and utilize the information given in reviews to help me decide if I would like to purchase an item. I strive to give as detailed information as I can while writing about my experiences to help you decide if this product might be what you are looking for."
"This glue gun is perfect for the price!"
"Used this glue gun many many times."
"It takes two hands to work, one to apply glue and other to advance the glue."
Best Pins & Tacks
![50 x PowerPins - Push-Pin Magnets Perfect For Home & Office [#1 Magnet For Fridges, Calendars, Whiteboards & Maps!] Handy Storage Container Included Free!](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/519x%2BIeXsaL._SS600_.jpg)
But we’re betting you’ll fall in love with these magnets, and a team of wild horses couldn’t get them out of your hands and make you send them back. In accordance with Amazon strong magnet policy, these magnets are not strong magnets because the exposed portion of these magnets all have a north polarity, which allows the magnets to adhere strongly to metal but have a weak connection to each other (flux between magnets is less than 50 kG2mm2). Don’t use those dangerous “tacks” that ruin walls and poke feet and fingers! Each magnet in this 50-piece set lets you stick 11 (ELEVEN) sheets of paper on any metallic surface. Use the bright, vivid colors in this attractive collection so you can “color code” your projects – or just make your office and home look bright and cheery! You can send them back for a full, complete refund of every penny you paid!

"You may wonder, what's the difference between glue-all and school glue?"
"Seriously though IF you have a kid who can actually come home with a bottle that needs refilling, & have room to store this big bottle (which surprisingly you will not actually need for anything around the house as long as it is in the pantry, and not until you run out) then buy it, because it does in the long run save you money; However if you have one of those kids (I have a couple) who just can not seem to hold onto a bottle of glue long enough to get a refill, and you’re not making that “slime” whith the starch mixture then a gallon of school glue is overkill!"
"Elmer's glue is pretty consistent and always performs as I expected it will."
"And with the slime craze, this was just a logical purchase to make a little girl very happy at Christmas time."
"Great price my daughter had this gone in less than a week after Christmas she had probably a hundred and 50 jars of slime made we had slime everywhere she loves it will be purchasing these again."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Inserting the needle with the hollow side lined up with the opening on the gun (opposite side of the dial). 3. Put the paper tag on the needle or holding the paper tag with the hole lined up with where you want the barb/plastic piece to go in. Pierce through the paper tag and the tag on the clothes until it comes out on the other size or where you want the back end of the barb to be (sometimes you can get it between layers if you want, but it's a little tricky). Sometimes when I'm starting a new strand I have to pull the trigger twice to like prime the gun, but I think that's only if I don't get the strand pushed down in the gun enough. I bought this because I was tagging about clothing 300-500 items for a garage sale. Having prices on each item this year was awesome. I made a cardboard sign that said "clothing prices on tag" and on the reverse side it said "clothing half off" for later in the day."
"The tag would shoot out, but wouldn't go through the clothes. Having never used a tagging gun before, I didn't realize that you have to push the needle ALL the way through the tag and the clothes so it is flush and tight up against the base of the gun."
"when the pricing gun arrived, it took me a bit of time to realize that the tags had several rows attached together before I could get the gun loaded."
"I purchased this item to assist my employer with tagging incoming merchandise for their online boutique."
"If you are having a garage sale do yourself a favor and buy this tagging gun."
"It's a nice little gizmo to have on hand for consignment sales, yard sales, and so forth."
"I find this gun to be easy to use- I don't have to refer to the instruction booklet every time I need to reload tags, or change pins for delicate or heavy fabrics- which is a really big deal for me."

"I put some of this tape over & around my open lotion & other pump bottles to prevent leakage or spills- not one leak occurred, for the first time ever during a move to a new home.
