I am hoping to wrap a drop cloth around an area rug and tape it to the underside. Will this tape hold the drop cloth in place?

I imagine it would. It's pretty sticky. You'll need to make sure the underside of the rug is as free from dirt as possible though.

It probably will since it held my area rug in front of door so tightly that I could hardly pull the tape loose.

I wouldn't use the double-sided tape on carpet. It would probably cause damage. You could try looping masking tape to apply it to your floor, but if kids are running all over it it probably wouldn't last long.

There is Velcro on the edges so that you can attach several mats together, and that does tend to hold on to our rug. I don't especially want that, but it does happen. I'm sure they didn't intend it to be a way to keep the mat from slipping on the carpet, but that's the end result. We haven't had a problem with it slipping, in any case.

You would want to use a contact adhesive. Tape isn't strong enough to support the weight.

Absolutely, I have 2 runner rugs that I taped down over carpet (very long rugs), very easy to do as is double sided and easy to work with. I have had it down now for over 2 months and as not slipped at all. It is in high traffic area. I love this stuff. I even used it to cover up gap in door for insulation.

No. The material is pretty heavy so I don't think tape would hold them in place.

It will need something to hold it down. Just know you are buying a thin tarp that is basically useless

It depends on how big an area you want to cover. The roll is about 2 feet wide (don't remember). You'd have to tape sections together to make it wide enough to cover a big area, and that tape would have to be waterproof. The product is a like a thick shelf liner, strong enough to support the weight of a cat for sure, but it may buckle a little under your feet when it's on top of a rug. Good luck.

Yes. The only place it won't go is hardwood floors onto a really thick (1-2 inch ) rug. I have a large area rug and it just goes along the side and won't go over the hump

Yes. It'll stay put just fine I would think. Mine are both, cloth and leather, and we have no problem.

I put a 5 x 7 area rug on a low pile carpet 3 months ago and it hasn't moved yet. Use lots and lots and lots of the tape however.

I wouldn't. The best tape for that is electrical. This tape is cloth based fibers.

I can't say for sure, but with this foam not having a cloth cover, it stays in one place much better than those with a cover (a prior experience), ...so my guess is that it would stay where you put it. If not, you could purchase the thin, non-skid, flexible meshes, often used under small scatter rugs, and the foam would more than likely, stay in one place.

Works sort of like self adhesive. The cloth part sticks to the plastic flat piece that you use to press the cloth to the floor.

I don't know. I wouldn't suggest getting it. It already fell down. The sticky stuff never is sticky enough.

Only if the other tape is peeling. It's very sticky so just make sure the surface is clean and you good.

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.
