Amazing!
This low friction tape is amazing! My house is 70 years old with its original kitchen cabinets. The drawers have just a wood track under a wood drawer. They have always been difficult to open and close. Also, because it’s just wood on wood, there has always been sawdust in everything underneath a drawer. While I was looking for some kind of solution to this problem I discovered this tape! It is amazing!! All I did was put a strip of tape along the length of the wood track under the drawers and a little piece in each corner of my drawer opening and now they open and close with no difficulty! Yay! And no more sawdust either! This tape is a game changer! I just like opening and closing the drawers for no reason now! Lol! The video shows two drawers….the first one I haven’t put the tape on yet and the second drawer is with the tape. Note: The tape only needs to be applied to one side. I tested it by putting tape on the bottom of the drawer as well as the track and when the tape is sliding against itself it isn’t better and actually makes it slide less easily plus it makes a kind of zipper sound.

Great for jig building, super slick, and very strong adhesive
Really works well for jig building where sliding parts are needed, It is super slick, and has some of the strongest adhesive I've ever seen in a tape. It comes in various lengths, widths, and thicknesses. I actually used a piece of 10 mil as a "shim" on a length of t-track in an slightly oversize miter slot on a jobsite table saw. Worked perfectly!

Perfect Mouse Repair Solution
I love my Apple mouse. It's outlasted every other mouse I've had, and works well on my desk's surface without a mouse pad. But recently, I noticed a lot of wear between the wear pads on its underside, with a wear pattern in the metal around the sensing lens (see photo). To prevent any additional wear, I applied 2 strips of this tape between the two long wear pads on the mouse's underside, notching it out to fit around the sensing lens and charging port (see photos). The tape features an excellent adhesive, and shows no signs of loosening. The mouse is now working beautifully, and the tape is so slick, the mouse feels like it's moving more fluidly than ever. A new Apple mouse costs about $83 with tax, while the tape cost only $7.87 including tax. My total saving was around $75 - not bad for about 15 minutes of my time. And there's plenty of tape left on the roll...

Okay
I purchased this after experiencing continued bleeding post–deviated septum surgery. Good quality and effective. Took a star off because I sometimes had trouble with it sticking to my skin. I ended up purchasing another brand that suited my needs better.

Excellent product!
This is the real deal! I've tried using solid dimensional UHMW bar and round stock, the problem I've found is the extrusion process results in warped and lumpy stock unsuitable for precision sliding surfaces. Using aluminum or steel stock, then applying this tape, results in very straight, flat and slippery surfaces. My comparison of metal-to-metal, metal-to-taped-metal, and taped-metal-to-taped-metal indicated that tape-to-tape is, by a wide margin, the most slippery of the bunch. As with any self-adhesive tape, surface cleanliness is vital to a strong, uniform bond. It doesn't hurt to develop an application approach which eliminates the need to re-position the tape; one-and-done is best. Removing trapped air bubbles with this tape is quite difficult, not impossible near the edges, in the middle it's probably better to start over. Highly recommended!

Works great for drawers
Our pantry drawers didn’t slide easily (wood on wood) but this fixed it.

Good for the power rack
Great product, helps give additional protection on my power rack. Great price, easy to work with. This the third roll I've bought so far.

Good not great
Good product but not great. The edges aren’t smooth or square making it hard to run it down into a 90 degree corner but it’s durable and has held up well, just takes a little longer to set up
