Will this tape keep a wool 6 ft runner from moving on a carpeted area

It certainly helped secure our runner. We did have to replace the tape after 2-3 months, but that was not a problem. It was worth it to prevent the constant slipping and sliding of the runner.

I do not know. I wanted double sided tape to discourage my cat from scratching up my furniture.

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 applied 5 strips across the width of my 6 x 3' runner at different locations...one at each end, three in between. The runners have held firm to my carpet, thus my good review of this tape. I cannot speak about wool runners as I'm not the manufacturer. The cost of this roll is probably worth a try if you've attempted other products. All I know is that I am sold on this product. I am going to apply it to 3 other runners I have.

I had bought a good runner pad hoping that would solve the sliding problem on carpet, it helped and I like it but the tape solved the problem, it was EASY to work with mainly because you put the sticky side on the carpet then pull the covering off as you lay your runner. You will love it. It has been a month or 2 now and it has not moved at all and I walk on it constantly.

Probably depends on the carpet. The tape works really well in my office but the carpet I am sticking it to is commercial low pile carpet. The rug I am holding down is wool as well.

Hi Maria, #1 the product definitely worked to keep the carpet down on hardwood floors. The tape is easy to pull off once you get it started but it definitely left a sticky residue and removed the varnish off of my hardwood floors. I had put the carpet runner down in January 2013 and removed it May 2013, so it was on my hardwood floor for about 5 months. My floor now needs to be buffed and redone because the damage is extensive and obvious. I didn't use it carpet on carpet so I can't speak to that. Hope this information helps in your decision to use this product.

I asked their technical support dept this same question and the answer was "should be ok for most hardwood floor finishes but use caution and test in an inconspicuous area especially if the floor finish is old/soft." because my concerns were about what might happen long term, not just within a few minutes of "testing," i asked more questions. it sounded to me that the tape would more likely become less sticky over time rather than my concern that it could become permanent or difficult to remove. so i went ahead and taped a rug to a hardwood floor. the tape was very effective given the type of rug (kilim). then i started becoming a little nervous about potential tape residue over time (in spite of it sounding unlikely while talking to the rep) so i removed the tape. it had been there for something like half a week and it pulled up off of the floor very easily and had no impact on the finish and did not leave any residue at all. if you still have concerns, it was super easy to reach the IPG person using the phone number inside the cardboard core of the tape roll. good luck!

I use the tape in woodworking to temporarily secure two pieces of wood. Some Times they get left stuck together for a month and they still come apart and are easily removed with a putty knife. I can't speak to the impact on carpet or rugs.

It may or may not keep your rugs down. I have a 3x7' rug on top of carpet, and it doesn't move. However, I have a oriental 5x8' rug on top of the same carpet, and it still bubbles up in spots on the edges. I had this same oriental rug on top of other carpet in a previous house and the rug never moved, even without tape. I don't think I would buy this tape again. I'd need something stronger. I think a lot of depends on the type of carpet and the type of rug. I don't think it leaves a residue but I'm not positive as I haven't removed a rug yet.

I agree with the other two posts . . . double sided tape will not any benefit since if there is that much concern about it moving, carpet is not conducive enough to prevent it.

Yes it will. You can even loop lock the Velcro. Not sure what you mean by running, if you meet to you can use a pin tack to nail Velcro to the wall and use it to run your wire off the ground. This stuff is not adhesive, it's Velcro.

I haven't had to use it on wool carpet yet, but I would try it without concern. Of course, try it first in an inconspicuous place.

I bought the PM-50 Plast-O-Mat for shelf liner in our new cabinets and it worked out very well for that purpose so I have not used it as a carpet runner but I doubt that it would be heavy enough for 7 to 8 months of regular traffic on a floor. It is my feeling that it was designed for temporary use for open houses and other special occasions.

I sprayed 3 coats of Performix on the back of stair tread rugs and it did not keep them from slipping. If you go to the internet and type in"Utube Perfect rubber sole for crochet slippers" you will see how others are putting a rubber sole on bottom of handmade slippers.

I want to use this to cover some old sliding closet doors...do you think it will stay put?

I just used it for a move-in to my new home and I just laid it down on the traffic areas. It is just like a runner. So if that is all you need to do, it will work well. And you will need to pick it up once your guests are gone. I think the longer you leave it on, the sticky stuff may end up on your carpet. But if it is picked up within a few hours, all is fine. Hope this helps.

This tape is a thin foam so it is not like your two sided carpet tape. I am sure it would hold your 6X9 if you used the tape along the edge but it would not be flat against the wall. I use this tape to mount surge protectors to the bottom of chaulk trays in church classrooms. With the frequent changes in temparture it last about six months before needing raplacement. I can only fit about 10" of tape on the back of the surge strip. If more surface was available the taoe would last longer. Hope this helps you.

This is not good on carpets if you are walking or keeping any heavy objects on it. I used for shelf liners.

Yes, I have used it on carpet to prevent my dog from re-marking the same spot.

I believe that this tape will, but you will not be able to remove the rubber mat easily if you use it to secure it to the floor. It is quite strong and will adhere to rough surfaces.

STICKY ASS Tape is just that . . . . very sticky!! I do not think using it on floors to hold from slipping is the best of ideas, as it might damage floor, especially if wooden floor. This tape is very sticky and I have used it for many projects where regular duct tape has failed. I think you might be better off with tape that is designed for your need.
