About Linen Hinging Tape - Self-Adhesive Hinging Tape for Prints Matte Frames
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
71% praised for its strong adhesive, while 29% found it lost its stickiness over time.
The adhesive strength of this tape is good and it keeps things secure even when attaching to laminated or glossy items. It's the goldilocks tape of perfectly balanced adhesion.
The initial adhesion of the tape is somewhat weak, allowing me to reposition the art or mat or remove the tape if needed. Burnishing gently helps firm up the adhesive but it still pretty weak after a day.
The tape's adhesive was weak and it peeled off easily.
I am disappointed with the adhesive strength of the tape as it is not strong enough to hold watercolour paper to the matting.
67% liked it vibrant color and design, but 33% found it dull
The tape is made of fabric with a peel-off backing and is white in color.
When attaching paper to paper that needs to stay attached for decades, acid-free archival cloth tape is the only option to use.
The tape box indicates that it is made in China.
70% found it to be long-lasting, while 30% noticed it started to deteriorate.
The tape is durable and won't harm the paper. It also won't yellow or damage the paper over time, unlike many glues.
The adhesive was weak and it peeled off easily.
I am concerned about the durability of this tape. I would not trust it to hinge anything with a floating mount or any larger piece of art whose weight may cause the art to shift after mounting.
72% liked how easily removable it was
I find the tape easy to remove without leaving any residue. It can be removed with alcohol or acetone if needed.
72% praised for its ease of application, while 28% struggled with it.
If I put tape on both sides, it will not fall apart without purposefully lifting the tape.
I am satisfied with the tape as it is a good product at a jaw-dropping price. Adhesion quality is not a concern for the price.
I doubt that the tape will hold the antique photos in place for the desired length of time.
The tape peels off easily without leaving a residue. The initial adhesion is weak, allowing for repositioning or removal if needed. Gentle burnishing helps firm up the adhesive, but it remains weak after a day.
66% liked the perfect size and thickness, but 34% found it too thick for delicate crafts.
The tape is very sheer and exactly 1.25 inches wide. It has enough strength to make a hinge and can be hidden under a mat without telegraphing through.
I was surprised at how thin this tape is, which is a negative aspect of the product.
71% liked its versatility for various crafts, although 29% found it limited for certain projects.
I found the tape to be versatile with good adhesion quality and available at a jaw-dropping price.
I tested the tape's properties by taping two index cards together, rubbing it down and pulling them apart. It took some effort to separate them.
This tape is only suitable for hinging two mats or attaching artwork to the mat board. For sealing the edge of a glass/mat/art/backer sandwich or sealing the back of the package to the frame, Lineco Frame Sealing tape is recommended as it is much stronger, airtight and foil-backed and made specifically for that purpose.
