Answer This Question

A:  Yes it will.

by|Jun 25, 2021

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. Recommended substrates for the Max Grip Tape: concrete and plywood. Asphalt pavement may contain oil, tar etc that may interfere with the bond performance.

    A:  I would say it can stick to smooth cement.

    by|May 4, 2021

    A:  I dont see why not. I used on my garage concrete floor and it worked.

    by|Jul 28, 2021

    A:  I would imagine, however I have not used it on pavement. This tape is super strong though. There is a stronger tape that I was using Roberts double-sided carpet seam tape, it's twice as wide and super super sticky. I accidentally stepped on the tape and it took my shoe right off my foot! LOL

        A:  It probably would but both surfaces need to be clean and it's not actually rated for outdoor use so who knows if it would last.

        A:  It should be double sided, so apply to carpet, remove backing, press carpet down.

        by|Apr 12, 2021

          A:  Thank you for your inquiry. Make sure the subfloor surface is thoroughly clean and dry. Apply tape to fit perimeter of the installation area. Once the flooring is ready to place, Peel the protective cover away and lay the flooring on top of the tape. Roll the flooring to secure the flooring into the tape. Refer to the directions on the carton for further details or contact technical services.

            A:  The is a double sided tape with paper to pull off the upper side when installing the carpet.

            by|May 17, 2021

            A:  It's 2 sided tape, super sticky. We took a pair of scissors, cut the length we wanted to use, (3 to 4 inches) 3 to 4 times per carpet square and placed it on the bottom. Sometimes we used more if the tile was in a high traffic area or we new we would be sliding furniture across it. We used ours on a particle board type, raised sub floor system, but it will stick to pretty much anything. Be careful pulling up, (either to reposition or remove) because some times it sticks to the carpet and pulled the wood particles up with it, (like I said, super sticky). Once we had 3 or four pieces on the tile, (near the edges and pressed down firmly) we would carefully peel of the paper backing, so as to not remove it from the carpet piece. Hope that helps.

              Q:Is this tape safe to use to tape down vinyl sheet flooring on top of black mastic (asbestos) where tiles used to be? I know you can't use glue on top of that black mastic so wondering if this would work and be ok.

              A:  Cutback adhesive is very destructive to acrylic type products such as adhesives and tapes. It is not recommended to use this tape over cutback adhesive.

                  A:  I would want a level surface cause over time the vinyl will settle into grooves

                  by|Jan 2, 2023

                    A:  Ensure the existing floor covering is dry clean and free of any contaminates that could inhibit the bond of the tape. Unless the grout lines are excessive, the tape should adhere well. Always roll the installed flooring to ensure a tight bond between the flooring and the tape.

                        Answer This Question

                        A:  It is a very sticky tape. It holds great to our particle board flooring system and really keeps the carpets in place. I would imagine it would stick, but we haven't used it on something smooth like that?

                        by|Jan 29, 2021

                        A:  Max Grip Tape is highly effective installation tape that offers a permanent bond and is recommended for indoor and outdoor use. It is always recommended to follow a manufacturer's recommended installation guidelines. Reflectix-(Unfaced Reflective Roll Insulation) sheets recommend staple down installation for best results.

                        by|Jan 27, 2021

                          A:  The stuff is really sticky and may work fine. How long it holds may depend on temperature changes if it's in a garage for Instance. Big swings may break down the holding power.
