"For those of you who are in doubt of their own capacity and ability to properly install this like I was, DO NOT FEAR. Blow Drying Tip: when blowdrying, rather than blowing at the wrinkled area directly, sway the blow dryer gently around the wrinkle itself and the wrinkle will come out much faster. Feel free to read the rest of my reviews on Amazon: I rarely write reviews here, but when I do, it's because I had a bit of doubt myself when purchasing it, but turned out to exceed my wildest imaginations."
"Have ten windows in the home, so got two Duck 1299529 window shrink film kits, and a low cost Jerdon 1600 watt blow drier. Wiped the dust off the trim with a damp paper towel per window, dried, then used one of the four faces on each alcohol wipe for each side of the window trim. Lift an inch or so of the tape off the roll, grab one end, and pull on one side until you hear/feel a soft pop, then the other side the same way. Peel back the protective cover an inch or two, cut the half inch off of the messed up tape with your scissors, and and fold the cover crease) to one side ninety degrees. Leave at least two or three inches of extra film on each side. I did the top first, then a side, then the other side, then the bottom."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Great product."
"Word of warning however to anyone who may find themselves in a similarly odd situation, the building I am in is quite old and has been painted an absurd amount of times, and for one heavier picture frame (a vinyl record display), the adhesive of these strips held strong but the many layers of paint it was stuck to actually peeled off the wall and down went the frame. The command strip never let go of the paint, but it was too much weight for the paint to handle and the paint left the wall."
"I have one large oil painting (about 5x5 ft) that has been hanging on my dining room wall for over three years with only four of these strips."
"One note, when ordering multiple packs on Amazon, use the quantity button on the right (or on the checkout screen)."
"I love that I can just replace the wall strip to somewhere else and stick it back up."
"After watching my husband measure, remeasure, nail holes in the wall and/or the back of picture frames, then use the level....a simple project turns into an all day event for his OCD mind."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I've always been tempted to order a Ring, but if you're like me, you've read the reviews and the many horror stories about how bad the product is. I then disassembled my old doorbell and installed the two existing wires to the back of the Ring 2 circuit board. Although the video stated that it did not matter which wire attached to either screw on the back of the circuit board, in my case it did. I then mounted the Ring 2 to my door frame with the 4 provided screws, and made sure everything was level. Once mounted, I adjusted the motion sensor zones and live view settings via the Ring app on my iPhone. I got the notification instantly, connected via the Ring app, and was able to talk and hear her perfectly."
"Before I got the Chime Pro, the signal strength on my Ring Wi-Fi was "Poor" to "Good"."

Best Hardware Adhesives & Sealers
Made with double thick adhesive, strong reinforced backing, and a tough all-weather shell, it’s the biggest, strongest, toughest thing ever to happen to duct tape. It sticks to Rough and uneven surfaces, including wood, stone, stucco and brick, that ordinary duct tapes can't hold. It is important to clean the surface and brush off any loose particles and dirt before applying Gorilla tape. to retain adhesive quality, store Gorilla tape in a cool, dry place. Try storing the tape vertically (rather than laying flat), on a hook or on wax paper. Great for indoor or outdoor use and made to stick to Rough, uneven, unforgiving surfaces like wood, stone, stucco, plaster, brick and more.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I was specifically interested in the adhesiveness and tensile strength of the 3 leading brands of black duct tape. The rubber adhesiveness when tested on a variety of surfaces did not reveal a discernible difference between the 3 brands. As one comment said, “It’s ALIVE!”. The Scotch tape is crinkled or wavy on the roll and if cut cleanly, the edge is hard to locate. For years, at the end of the fireplace season, I have placed a heavy tarp over the top of a brick chimney and secured it with black duct tape. I took several samples of each brand and folded the tape, adhesive side in, creating double-thickness strips 1/2-inch wide. I placed one end in a bench vice with padded jaws so the metal would not break the tape. A new Rapala digital fishing scale hooked to the Vice-Grip would reveal at what weight the strip of tape would break. The Scotch TOUGH Heavy Duty Tape broke at a mere 5 pounds."
"I used this to wrap around the joint between to bee hives in order to prevent wind from getting in... within a day, the tape came off of the painted wood and did not hold."
"My grandson was desk corner high and just learning to walk. He has even HUNG from them and picked his feet up off the ground, he's 30+ pounds."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The numbers of our previous lock boxes were hard to read in the poor lighting of night. The lever inside the box that must be moved "up" to change the combination took quite a force to do just that. We've used two other kinds of lock boxes before and neither one of them required an extra tool just to change the combination."
"I should add that the keys had a small label with them so it does hold enough for what I would imagine is a typical need."
"Just last week, lined up the combination, lever was depressed (only able to depress with correct combination), but the box wouldn't open. Same combination was entered, lever was depressed, but the box wouldn't open."
"I work in real estate and we used this lockbox for years until recently when we were unable to open one with the combo we had on file. We were about to cut it off the fence, when I had an idea to google ways to open this lock box if you forgot the combo. My search IMMEDIATELY returned several YouTube videos on how to pick this lock."
"Last night we awoke to an intruder in our home who had cut this off our main gate and opened it (likely following the easily googled how-to videos), using the keys inside to enter our home."
"I bought this lock to keep my car key safe while I surf. Once this did not work, he told me that the locking mechanism is missed aligned, and with in 5-7 seconds forced the unlocking lever down and pried open the door. This lock will break at times leaving your valuables unaccessible. It will cost you at a minimun 110 dollars (I did called several to select the lowest priced). 3."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Due to a rash of mail theft in my area, I decided to upgrade my locking mail box to something that is more difficult to fish (most of this is people just coming by and reaching in for whatever they can get), as well as more difficult to pry open. The box that it replaces is an older version of the Gibraltar MSK00000 mailbox available here on Amazon and the box stores for about $60. As to prying the box open, while the lock and steel case are noticeably heavier duty than the box it replaces (and other boxes in this price range), I don't believe it would stand up to a serious attempt to pry it open. If the lock stood up (which it well might), I think the door would bend open enough to allow for mail to be taken, and then the door and/or box would need to be replaced. Cons: - For someone looking for a box that can't be pried, you want to look for heavier grade steel and tighter tolerances on fit and finish, so that is not so easy to get a screw driver or other pry tool into the top or sides of the locking door. - Because Mail Boss makes a big deal in their ads about preventing mail theft and showing guys prying open competitors' mail boxes, I rated this a four star product instead of five stars. - For people that want a box that is significantly more secure, Fort Knox mail boxes appear to be one good way to go. You may need a new post install (with a significant concrete base) to hold the mail box which weighs about 100lbs, and you'd be well advised to have two people to install something that heavy."
"As with most people here, there has been a rash of mail thefts in our area so I wanted to get a good locking mailbox. The front mail receive flap is very strong and has a full hinge along its lower edge, I tried to fish my hand in the slot and could not get anywhere in the main box. The lower compartment has a reinforced metal welded front panel and anti-pry feature around the lock - to me this looks pretty hard to open up even with a crow bar. As for a negative, that would be that some water was able to get in, it rained A LOT this weekend and was pretty windy and I did note some minimal water getting in at the bottom of the lower compartment towards the back not sure where it got in from and if that is to be expected with heavy rain, however it does have drainage holes and a liner that holds the mail up from the base so did not effect the mail."
"The "wings" the design includes apparently meant for appearance and weather protection ended making a perfect fulcrum for prying the door open."
