Double-sided tape is a variety of adhesive tape that is coated with
adhesive on both sides. It is designed to stick two lightweight
surfaces together. Double sided tape is often more effective with sticking objects,
such as paper, cardboard, and arts and crafts together than regular
tape is. Also, double sided tape usually is not visible in the end
product, due to it actually being in between the objects rather
than overlaying them. This allows for neater looking projects and
better craftsmanship. Also, double-sided tape is a highly effective
grip for objects, such as the handle of a hammer, or the steering
wheel of a car. This prevents the object from sliding in your
hands, which could ultimately lead to possible injuries. Also, specially designed double-sided tape can be bought to secure
clothing which is in risk of slipping down, such as strapless
dresses or loose skirts, and as a temporary fix for fallen hems and
other clothing imperfections. This tape is usually designed to peel
away without leaving any gummy residue behind.
