Works great
This worked very well. I have fabric rugs without rubber backing that slid around on my wood floors. I was worried about damaging the floors but this has not.Only con: will need to redo every few months as it stops sticking to the fabric. This would likely not be the case if the rug had a backing.

I found an alternate use
It quite securely holds paper/photographs to a wall…… it acts as double sided tape with no residue

Works well to secure throw rug to hard surfaces. Can be reused a few times.
I’ve found this rug tape to work well securing my throw rugs to ceramic tile floor. I use 2 or 3 long strips per rug, two along the sides and one down the middle. Later, when I want to wash a rug I pull it up, remove the sticky strips and keep them aside to be reinstalled on the cleaned rug. Usually I can get at least 2-3 re-uses before the tape loses it’s sticky power.The best way to apply the tape is to first position your rug where you want then gently fold back one long side and apply the tape leaving the yellow liner in place. Press the tape down fully and peel off the yellow liner. Now lay that edge of the rug down against the floor and press. This procedure secures the rug so it doesn’t move as you apply the remaining tape strips.

Amazing Product
This gripper tape is so versatile. I’ve used it to secure my GPS to my car’s dashboard, to prevent my outdoor entry rug from slipping around, to keep a hall runner secure on the wooden floor, to keep my small kitchen and bathroom rugs from shifting around. When a rug needs laundering, I carefully pull it away, leaving the gripper tape in place. When the laundered rug is dry, I simply position it over the existing gripper tape, press it down, and the tape again holds it in place! Rug Gripper Tape performs true to its advertising and turned out to be useful beyond my expectations.

Doesn’t work
If you want it to stick to carpet, it doesn’t work. I wanted it to stick an area rug to my carpet. Don’t waste your money.

Canât be reused easily
This worked well until rugs are lifted to clean underneath, it doesnât easily re-adhere and loses its stickiness. As well, leaves traces of glue on wood floors. Comes off easily though with a little rubbing.

Works as expected
This is a good tire for my hybrid bike. I wanted a little drag since safety on sandy roads was more important to me than speed.

Strength is not good enough
The adhesives on the tape is not strong enough to the job. The video presentation is very convincing however, it is not true in reality.I am planning to return for refund.
