Does this tape leave a residue when you remove it? Is it a good choice if you know you will remove it in a couple of years?

Yes it does leave residue when you use it. I personally use it for many uses, I found that it lasts better and longer than duck tape. It will hold for a couple of years.

I wouldn't use it especially if there is high sun or heat exposure. I would recommend gaffers tape.

It is good tape, certainly stronger than duck or packing tape, but it is not nearly the fabulous tape that the marketing portrays. Yes, it leaves a residue... it is designed to "mesh" with what every material it sticks to, but a little "goo-gone" and the residue comes off

This stuff is super strong and sticky, you probably wont be able to remove it and it will leave the sticky behind if you do.

If you're looking for something that doesnt leave a residue, then you might want to look at nuclear grade duct tape. Its pricey, at about 25 bucks a roll, so nit sure if that will be worth it for your application

Depending on the surface, it will most likely leave residue. A rag with some mineral spirits or paint thinner will easily remove the residue however.

If you looking for a type of tape similar to duct tape but removable, go with GAFFER'S Tape. You can find it on Amazon or elsewhere online. It's normal use is the Film and Television industry holding equipment and wires down, marking canisters and stage floors (called spike tape in that usage). It's a canvas tape with a rubber adhesive. It can be torn by hand and doesn't leave a residue when removed. I use it everywhere I would use duct tape. It's more expensive but I think it's worth it.

It didnt worked for me that way. Usually after removed once it did not adhered good next time. Also each time after adhered came off after about 8 to 10 months. Which is ok because of nature of product.I am using this from last 3 years and I do replace them every 6 months. I am using is a to do list board. Its small area.

Mine did not have any residue on it. We have used it over 2 months. No residue seen.

It does leave a residue and it also damages the sticker but you can take some windex on a rag and it takes off the residue.

I have not tried removing from my gun... that is why I bought it, to give my gun a camo look. While putting on the gun, when removing to reposition, there was not a sticky residue left behind.

Mine is not leaving any residue yet, but have only been using it for 6 weeks. At this point in time based on how it has performed I would recommend this product. I would purchase again.

No, I don't believe it would leave a mark. It's just double stick tape. The instructions on the package say that if you want to remove it, soak the tape with some oil and let it sit for a couple hours to soften it up. I haven't had to do this, since mine is still on, but I really don't think it will hurt a thing. They even include a couple of extra pieces of tape so you can re-install it if you like.

although you can get away without the primer the joint will fail after a few years. Use the primer after you have cleaned the joint (VERY CLEAN) I would also do it on a HOT day The tape is very sticky and needs to be put down exact the first time !

It does not leave a sticky residue--in fact, make sure your shelves are very clean before applying or the paper won't stay put for long. Overall, pretty happy with it, however. This is the shelf liner, not an adhesive contact paper (which must be what the other respondant was referring to)

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.

no, once it is removed you will have to cut a new piece of tape to reapply.

I haven't removed mine, but it doesn't seem as though it would be hard to remove or there would be any residue left.

I haven't had a problem. If there has been any residue (adhesive) I use a clorox wipes or a wet paper towel.

shouldn't leave residue unless its on left on for a while, meaning a few days or more. as for lifting it, depends on how well the carpet is put down, how long the tape is on, if its walked on, ect. this is pretty much true for any tape

Yes, film is easily removed. No, the solution is easy to clean and leaves no residue behind.

According to the documentation, it can be removed and reused. I haven't tried that, but saw nothing when I applied the protector to lead me to believe there would be any residue.

It's thicker & holds very well! If its 1 year later an you want to remove the tape it comes off cleanly. :)
