Nano Tape Review: Put to the Test!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

After numerous requests and seeing ads for this "magic" nano tape, I decided to try it for myself from three different Amazon vendors. Most of my tests emulate what is shown in promotional videos circulating on social media.

    I appreciate the video, but I believe certain factors of the tests performed greatly reduced the tapes chances of success. 1) For starters, both surfaces need to be dry and clean (free of dirt, lint, dust, etc..) before using the tape. Using rubbing alcohol does wonders for adhesion strength. 2) The pavers you used didn't not have a flush surface for the tape to adhere to and the fact that it still held up using only the little bumps on the pavers was impressive. 3) The reason the tape didn't work very well on the rugs is because Nano tape doesn't use a chemical adhesive. According to Wikipedia, it uses an array of carbon nanotubes that work very similar to how the toes of a gecko work. Therefore, Nano tape works much better on smooth surfaces as opposed to rough, uneven or porous surfaces. 4) Applying firm pressure on the tape improves adhesion. This also helps push out any air bubbles or gaps to increase the surface area of the tape. 5) Apparently applying a bit of heat from a hair dryer will also improve adhesion. 6) To help with removal of the tape, stretch one end of it outwards & slightly away from the surface it's stuck to (similar to how you remove a 3M Command Hook). This helps break the "suction" from each of the nanotubes. 7) Applying a bit of heat using a hair dryer can also aid in removal. 8) You an also use a piece of dental floss and slowly work it along the underside of the adhesive to break the bond. 9) Lastly, ensure you have washed off ALL lint, dust and debris from the tape and allow it to FULLY dry to give it the best chance of regaining it's adhesiveness. Here's a video of someone using a hairdryer to aid in removal: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oYl2pqOYgpO-j6g.html Here's a video of a different review that managed to hold up a total of 5 bricks and later, even a 40lb dumbbell: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X2itqsuKc5XTZNY.html Here's the wiki article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano_tape Here's a great article with a more detailed explanation of how it works: www.technologyreview.com/2008/10/09/218518/sticky-nanotape/ I became very interested in this tape and did a bit of research to try and learn it's strengths and weaknesses, some of which I've listed above. Hopefully this will be of use to some of you :)

I soooo wanted to believe the infomercial but you proved that it it just GARBAGE! Who wants to waste their time spend, their money ordering, anticipating with excitement, discovering that it doesn't work and then having to send this mess back? Certainly not me!!! It even destroyed the your paint finish on both surfaces, flat paint and glossy paint. It destroyed the back of the picture frame! This could be an expensive frame that goes crashing to the floor with the glass breaking! The brick test failed miserably too. Companies think consumers are so stupid to believe the hype about their products. Thanks to reviewers like you..... we don't have to be lied to and buy this TRASH PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT WORK!!!!

    Just a recommendation - When testing tape like this-- you don't want any overhang outside of the object you adhere to. By leaving extra, and not pressing it down like the section under the brick you gave it a starting point to begin separation which can decrease the potential weight limit. Ideally you would want a -1mm gap between the edge of the brick and tape, but undersizing is better than oversizing.

    To be fair, this is still a pretty handy product for certain things. For instance, I take a roll of it with me when I travel. Handy for hanging things and making “shelves” with containers. Haven’t ever pulled the paint off yet so I don’t know why his did. I find it easier to use and cheaper than 3m command adhesives... and able to hold a good amount of weight. I don’t reuse them. I find that they don’t work at all after washing or repositioning. I have used them to attach clear acrylic shelves and they work fantastic. My biggest gripe about it is the ones I got were extremely difficult to peel off their backing. I have ruined and wasted quite a bit of the product when peeling off the backing.

    One problem I see with the brick test - you didn't use a brick, you used a paver. I can tell by the spacers along the edge of the paver and it's thickness. A couple of problems here. 1. pavers are typically made out of concrete whereas bricks are made out of clay. Because of this BRICKS ARE MUCH LIGHTER THAN PAVERS. 2. Due to the spacers, the paver will not sit flush with the wall but a brick would. This means the brick has more surface area to grip. Love what you do but this test needs to be redone to give the nano-tape a fair shake.

    Thank you for your video. You probably already know this, but just a little tip: To remove these from the wall without ripping the paint, you gotta remove it by slowly stretching it from one end, parallel to the wall, while putting pressure on the middle or other end. Kinda like those "Command" hooks by 3M. (Don't pull away from the wall.) I came across your video while looking to see if anyone did a test on various methods/tests for cleaning this stuff. I too found that they are not that reusable, but wondered if it was because we have hard water, and maybe it left a lot of minerals/crud that was un-seeable on the tape. I found that rubbing alcohol worked better for cleaning than water did, but they never really worked as well as they did the first time. Despite all this, and with lowered expectations, I still love the stuff. I use it under little alligator clips on my wall to display my various art/jewelry creations, and I use small pieces on top of a ceramic tile, (that I place on my lap as a little workstation) to attach plastic cups or magnets to hold my tools for quick access. I find the stuff quite handy actually. Great video! :) Thank you again for taking the time to make it.

    Staged is a possibility, though there are situations where the original design works as advertised, but the manufacturing isn't feasible for cost-effectiveness and thus corners are cut in quality and the like. The Power Glove is a prime example. The original engineering used materials that worked exactly as they were supposed to, but were too expensive to mass produce without making it far too expensive for average consumers to even consider buying. It was ultimately manufactured with far lower quality materials that WERE cost effective, but resulted in the ineffective device we now have.

    No - to re-use this tape clean it with alcohol like a 70% isopropanol alcohol medical wipe. It then becomes almost as sticky as new. Sometimes I want a less sticky tape - to achieve that I get it greasy. e.g. to stop my nylon shoulder bag's strap slipping off my nylon raincoat... I wrapped tape around the shoulder-strap and made the surface that rests on the shoulder less sticky by handling it.

    To remove the tape you can stretch it to remove it instead of removing like regular tape, similar to those sticky Command hooks. Also letting the tape hold up something overnight before applying weight helps with adhesion, so if you put a shelf-like thing up, you wait before adding weight

    Very entertaining review! I used this "nano" tape to mount the steel washers that were included with my Wyze security cams. The indoor-only camera has a magnet in its base, so applying the trimmed tape to the steel washer made it simple to put wherever I wanted the camera to go. The only weight it holds is the washer, the camera (100g), and the actual USB cord to plug it in. Of those, the USB cord was probably the heaviest component. No issues so far, but the acid test will come when I want to remount it somewhere else. I hope it doesn't take the paint off the drywall, but I guess I'll find out.

    Bought the 2" size. The tape sticks very well to plastic items. Also once it sticks to itself, it's almost impossible to tear apart without ripping the tape. A coworker suggested running it under water to unstick itself, but I haven't tried. The bottom line is it didn't serve the purpose for which I bought it and, frankly, I don't know that I'd find a use for it in the future.

    I'm sorry, but it works wonderful for us. Although you must put pressure on the objects you want to bond together for a short time. Five months later in freezing temps, direct sun over 95 degrees and rain. It still keeps it's bond. It has sealed two acrylic pieces with five pounds of weight.

    For the back of picture frames and rugs, you could probably apply some kind of single sided non disruptive tape that adheres just fine to the surface without marring it, and then stick the double sided tape to that. I bought some of this tape on a whim and now have to make it functional to excuse the expense.

  • @Caddowolf

    I'm sure it would hold better in a vertical position instead of horizontally like you did it, but it would still damage the wall. It would have more surface area to adhere to vertically. Good review! Thanks! I'd say there are a few uses for this, but one roll would probably last a lifetime if you only used it where it worked....meaning it wouldn't work for many things.

    Hey man. First of all, Thank you for the review. Secondly, I think the tape work pretty much like a normal tape except that it needs not just a gloss finish surface but a hard one like porcelain or glass would be ideal. That explains the mat and flat paint. Their washability is questionable but I would've liked to see the water wiped off before reuse but I don't know. Anyways thank you again!

    I have used it before and was very successful sticking a power board to the wall but but used 2 strips top and bottom and it still hanging after 12 months. tried with a felt fedora and it won't stick and when removing the tape from wall removed paint and also wall lining paper. I stretched the tape to remove it but found if you rolled it off it didn't remove paint. when you applied the tape you need to smooth the tape to the wall first then remove the top backing sheet

    one thing to point out is that the part that got unstuck in the first test was the chemically sticky part. The actual "nano" tape part stayed stuck to the brick which is very impressive. basically, one side is normal stickiness and the other side (peeled off) is some special kind of of stickiness

    very good review, you put a lot of time and effort, I like your persistency I wonder if it would work as the interface between the aluminum disc on the disc sander, and the velcro pad with the flat back (sort of plasticky fabric), so that I can attach the hook & loop sanding paper and easily swap them. disc sander generates a lot of heat between the sanded material and the abrasive, which definitely would transfer to the nano tape. also there is quite strong mechanical force, as the disc rotates, and the pushed material is stalling it. the force is not THAT big though. I think the nano tape would be fine for the above scenario, but not sure about the long term use. will it hold over time? will it melt? will it peel off? I'm going to put it to the test soon (when my goodies arrive from the online platforms).
