Alien Tape Review – Instantly Lock Anything With This Multi-use Duct Tape

2. I bought some of the alien tape as seen on TV. I had a photo of my grandkids I wanted to hang on my wall. I put eight pieces of tap on the back of the frame, put it on the wall held it there for 10 minutes. After about 1hour it fell shattered the frame, glass and my pictures were cut from the glass. Very disappointed.

   Sincerely
   Robbie Wright

4. DO NOT waste your money. If you would not try to hang a picture with scotch tape, don’t try it with this stuff. Won’t even hold a bathroom hook for a bath robe. Forget pictures. Does not work. A rip off.

5. I’m very disappointed with the new alien tape. #1 is not as thick as the roll tape, very flimsy it doesn’t stick as well. Went to Walmart hoping to find the rolls and all I found was a pre- cut tape in a fancy box. Tape doesn’t hold as well as roll.

6. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Does not work as advertised! I put two wall arts up on my apartment wall in the hallway. I tried to reposition one and when I pulled on it, the paint on the wall starting ripping! Horrible! Now what? I had to press it back to the wall until I can let my Apartment Manager know which will not make her happy! I’m not happy either! I’ll have to pay to fix this mess! How do I get both of the wall arts off? The Alien tape review on TV says and shows that it will come off easy? What a SCAM! This product company should get sued for FALSE advertising! It definitely stuck, but, it does not come off easily without damage! It works if you never want to take something down! I only wanted these to be on my wall temporarily since I change scenes frequently! I am beyond devastated! I wish I would have never used Alien Tape on my apartment wall! Any suggestions? This company who makes this should come to my home and fix it for FREE!

   1. I agree..u need a lot to hold a 5&7 and it fell off ..broke frame and glass. I tried using for other things still didn’t work..stickyness dries up. Don’t buy for long term use..

   2. It says on the package that it may cause paint to peel .. so that’s why you read all the information just to be sure..

7. Purchased Alien tape after seeing infomercial about how good it is……”holds up to 17.5 pounds easily”.
   It might hold a 17 pound concrete block up but it won’t hold my 4 pound baseball bats (in a tube) on my wall.
   I used Alien tape to put 10 separate bats on the wall and within a week 4 of them had fallen down. I even tried using extra tape to put them back up and 2 of them fell again. All directions were followed.
   I would definitely NOT suggest that anyone buy this brand. IT DOES NOT WORK !

   1. It also took the paint off and 3 of our pictures came crashing to the floor. Don’t know how long our others will remain up

8. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
   The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
   I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something
   to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
   The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Thanks

9. Used alien tape to hold small area rug to floor now I can’t get alien tape off floor nut rug has come loose. How do I get tape off tile floor and lament flooring

   1. I used Alien Tape in my RV to put a 5×7
      And a. 3×5 Photo in a Frame , the advertisement makes it so simple !! I tried to take the 3×5 down, as I’m selling the RV , and part of the Wall Cover is coming Off !!! Now I’m afraid to Attempt to remove
      The 5×7 .. any helpful advise would be appreciated!! Erika Lee. 714-488-8647.

      1. Trial run FAILED! BEWARE. I had a framed, expensive wallart that hung on a nail. Kept shifting, so I put a small piece of Alien Tape at bottom to secure it. Tried to rake artwirk down. Twisted it once off nail head and painting came down well. However, Alien Tape on wall seems to want a life there!
         Pulled it off along with paint and sheetrock! I’m really upset since I bought into this crap!
         I gifted each son a box of 3 rolls and just now had to email them a WARNING on not to use. I’m so glad that my wallart didn’t come crashing down as others have claimed with their items.
         Be careful what you hang and where.

10. I’m reading reviews after my purchase, and am certainly glad I did. It substantiates the need to be very, very choosy about how it is utilized.

    I have only used it to secure a pencil sharpener to the flat top of a metal file cabinet. The securable surface under the pencil sharpener is very minimal so there is not a lot of contact with tape. However, it is really solid at this point. I did notice the instructions say it is not for drywall and these reviews certainly prove the point.

    So my limited experience so far says it might come in handy for some very limited uses. Since it came in a 3 roll box, I suspect it will deteriorate long before I ever identify those successful limited uses.

    We are now in the hype period for worthless weight loss products too. It is hard to understand how our tax dollars fund a very expensive agency designed to protect consumers. But these frauds are allowed to continue. Makes a great case for taking everything important out of the hands of government bureaucrats. Little is accomplished as there is no system of accountability.

11. I am an OTR Long Haul Truck Driver. I didn’t want to drill in my tractor dash to mount my Cobra CB, so I bought Alien tape. Never heard of it, so I wasn’t sure if it suit my needs. Well, when I decided to replace my CB, I had to use a crow bar. It almost ripped the steel outer case/shell off my CB. It works all right. Now, rinsing and reusing didn’t work for me. Maybe I did it wrong. If the surface is clean sand dry and gives it some time to adhere, it’s got the grip of an octopus! Use it sparingly.
    Or it can rip apart whatever it’s stuck to cause it doesn’t want to let go.

    Ordered Alien Tape November 25 and have not heard anything about the order. When I check the status, I’m told they do not recognize the order. Please let me know the status of my order, if there is an order. The email I received to confirm my order is
    368Q4202147121550, purchased 12/25/21. Thank you.

13. DO NOT PURCHASE..IT IS HORRIBLE!!

14. I used it to hang pictures on my painted walls that are old plaster and the pictures were put up last Xmas and are still up. I used it to put a super lite picture up on the side of my moms newly installed cupboards and it fell within two days and took a high area of paint with it. So maybe you need to not use it on drywall or board surfaces. I stuck a heavy shampoo bottle to my shower surround and it’s still up months later. So I think it’s what you stick it to

15. Thank you so much reviewers! I was ready to purchase this and after reading your reviews, I certainly will not. Every single comment I read was bad, vast majority terrible!

16. Thanks everyone for your reviews. I wanted to order this product but I’ve learned to read the reviews. I have ordered junk and been disappointed. Products like these should not be allowed to be sold to the public if they do not perform as advertised.
    Thanks again, I will not order

17. I bought the three pack. Total waste of money. Last night I used it to hang two framed pictures. Each weigh under a pound. Alien Tape claims it hold 18 pounds. Less than 10 hours later, I heard a crash & one frame fell off & broke. Don’t waste your money.

    1. I used it for the same thing and it also fell down off the wall. 🤔😔

    2. I completely Agree! Bought a box of three rolls at Marshall’s for $15, I was really happy to find that bargain! What a scam! This tape hardly works. The commercial shows people hanging pictures on walls. Lie! It says on the package it rips off paint and dry wall. Once you read the directions inside the box, you find the advertisement totally misleading! This is consumer fraud!

       1. Exactly! I never read on the package that it rips off paint and dry wall! My sister sent me one roll of this Alien tape! It was a gift! On TV it shows putting up pictures and how easy it is to get off! Lie! It ripped the paint off my dry wall! Consumer fraud!

    3. Exactly its a waste of money

    4. Doesn’t seem to hold well on vertical surfaces, but I’ve been using it to hold a panel light (a couple pounds) on my cupboard ceiling and it seems to be working great. I used it to hang a decorative bourbon barrel stave on my cupboard (cherry wood) and it fell off after a week. Careful too on drywall…it peels off the paper.

    5. I hung a cross over a door. Fell about hour later broke. Waste of money!

18. I was wondering …seems like this material might be much better suited for plumbing and wrapping around a leaking pipe or something ? More of a patch for maybe inflatable pools or mattresses? Or stuff that might need a quick fix and works in water or something ..,????

    1. no bitch boi

19. I used alien tape on my painted wall,the picture didnt even have glass in it.It weighrd about 1/4 of a pound.Kept falling to one side so i tried to take the picture to readjust,ripped the paint right off.It sucks(being nice).Dont buy it.I am so angry.

20. My girlfriends parents are very religious people.
    Using Alien Tape they hung a fairly large crucifix on the wall right above her bed.
    At around 2 in the morning the crucifix fell off the wall and left a three inch gash in the back of her father’s head.
    Thanks A.J.

    1. Works just like his god — not at all lmfao pwnd

       1. God has nothing to do with this. You may not know God, maybe you should get to know him.

21. AlIen Tape SHOULD NOT BE USED ON PAINTED WALLS!!! Enough said!

22. This tape does not hold anything up besides a piece of paper! The only thing it’s good for it to attach a recipe to my cabinet door while I’m cooking. Do not waste your money. You will be very disappointed.

    1. I completely agree i am SO disappointed i really wish
       It would have worked ive read most everything i could find regarding this tape to see if maybe i missed something i should do prior to using to no avail
       Cant understand the reviews ive read about how it works sooooooo well
       Oh and as a matter of fact it doesn’t hold paper for long because my granddaughter’ s art picture even fell🤔😲

       1. I’m have experienced the same thing. I’ve had mines for over a month. Just moved to Texas waiting to use it. Well I just lost money. Because it doesn’t work.

    2. I use Scotch Tape for that! Much cheaper.

23. Just saw the commercial and figured it was a scam. Thought I’d check & my gut was right. Thanks everyone for the reviews.

    ALWAYS contact your state attorney General about these scam products. You can easily find them online & fill out an online complaint form.

    Good luck & sure hope you can all recover from the damages this crap caused!

24. Wish I had seen these reviews before my purchase,would never have wasted my money. You can not just wiggle it to remove and relocate things. It rips and tears in little pieces or stretches beyond reusability. Definitely not reusable, I wet it and retried, no tackiness returns at all.Very difficult to remove from glass. Seems the only thing it sticks well to is itself. Big waste of money even if you do the BOGO deal, not a bargain if the product is unusable and causes damage to walls, paint and my belongings get damaged when they fall or it won’t come off of them. BIG SCAM!!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!

    1. I agree it’s tape does not work wouldn’t stick to my wood or my walls

    2. My experience was the same. Pictures weighing less than a pound fell off the wall within a few minutes.. Tape did not stick to pictures but it sticks to the wall and is not removable. I have tried razor blades and a putty knife. That is the worst part. Constant reminder of a faulty product.

25. Alien tape destroys sheetrock walls and WILL NOT hold anything for very long. I tried it and when I put even a 5 lb. picture on the shelf it was holding, the shelf fell and destroyed my sheetrock wall pulling off the paper and paint both. I had to redo my wall. However, it wouldn’t come off the shelf it failed to hold up without super human effort. It definitely will not work on any painted surface. BEWARE!!!!

    1. this tape does not work don’t waste your money

26. I notice I am not the only customer that is unhappy with the Alien Tape. Out of the different surfaces I have tried it on, about 97% has come off. Some has caused breakage and some has just hit the floor. I have tried different weights of things I am hanging and some light weight. Doesnt matter, most of them hit the floor. I tried a small shelf and that was a disaster. I tried a bulletin board and after it falling off I finally used three nails.
    Most of the time I am able to take the tape off the wall without removing paint or plaster. It works best by rolling the tape from top to bottom like a tortilla.
    It looks like a lot of folks need a refund or replacement of tape. It works well behind a picture if used at the bottom on the back of the frame. Then the bulk of the weight is at the top with a nail or some other means of hanging. Good Luck!!!

27. Boy. Now I know, along with a few of you, these people are charlatans. I put the tape on the back of a picture frame. I went back an hour later only to find the frame had pulled away from the wall on the bottom. The top was held in place by a nail. I am not impressed. And I will be returning the tape wanting a refund. I know…good luck.

28. Not worth the money. I bought this for a DIY home project involving Duck Cloth. IT WOULD NOT STICK!! AT ALL! And it was just a small piece of the material I used, to test this product. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED !

    DON’T BUY!!

29. I feel sorry for people that hang up a piece of art that is worth a lot of money and it falls and breaks people Common Sense use a nail however small it is it will work better than any tape no tape will hold up a picture and those command strips also are a piece of crap use nails!

30. Can you buy alien tape in 2″ wide roll?

    1. Are you that stupid that you would ask a question like that. Face it it’s CRAP

       1. PJ are you that disrespectful? I hope you don’t talk to your coworkers, friends and family like that. Wait you probably don’t have any of those because you think you can sit behind a computer and say whatever you want.

31. Where is this product manufactured? I have purchased products made in China and received inferior products as a result. There is no recourse from China manufacturers. They advertise a product but they ship you a piece of junk. Please state where this product is made. Warning to others don’t buy from China.

32. Bless you people who leave reviews! Saw ad and almost impulse bought it sounded so good. So glad I listened to you and didn’t!

    1. So sorry I didn’t listen. Already broke shelf and ceramic basket I’ve had for years that was on shelf. Don’t buy!!! Wish I could get my money back but really not worth the effort to repackage.

33. My pictudes fell down and the glass vroke. I thought it was safe to hang a flag made out of lights on my front window. Weighs nothing. Fell down over night. Tape is a bunch of crap.

34. PLEASE someone help me remove alien tape off my wall, I’ve tried gooo off, goo gone, Dawn, vinegar, ammonia, razors, pliers…I need this down if the door asap, I’m not happy and the same for the landlord… Please HELP

    1. I’ve heard lighter fluid can be used in place of goo gone and works like a charm, but never tried it myself. Unsure if it’ll work with alien/nano tape, given how they say it works (minuscule suction cups holding to the surface until you pull & release the suction). I know people who have used it to easily remove old type duct tape residue.

       1. Try wd40 its a staple at myhouse because anything sticky or even paint can be removed with it
          Good luck

    2. I also used a putty knife in conjunction with goo gone to remove duct tape residue from my last apt, and that helped a lot.

    3. Try a hair dryer; warm the area and slowly pull the tape away.

       FWIW, with regular duct tape (the silvery woven type with heavy adhesive) WD-40 will remove the residue; of course this will stain walls, but if there’s duct tape on walls I’d assume they were messed up to start with.

    4. You might try WD-40. I’ve used it in the past to remove tar, tape residue and dried grease. Can’t promise it’ll work but it’s worth a shot.

    5. Try WD40, spray on and let sit for awhile. It hardens adhesives and makes them easier to remove. You may need to reapply and/or lengthen the amount of wait time. Good luck.

       1. Tried WD40 on in tape stuck to my tole floor yup tape is still there. Soaked up all the WD40 now I’ll try hair dryer. Yes I’m desperate!!

    6. Have you tried mayonnaise? You have to let it sit for a couple of minutes. It is my go to, maybe it will work with this.

    7. Try using wd 40. 1000’s of uses with that stuff

    8. I saw a video where a guy uses regular scotch tape to kind of roll the alien tape off the wall without leaving any residue.

    9. I read online that you can aim a hairdryer on it, alternating blasts of hot and cool air, then scrape with a knife. Hope this helps!

35. I am desperately trying to get this useless “tape” of my wall, I’ve used house oil, goo gone, goof off, Dawn soap, razors.. Ugh, I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to loosen this tape to pull it off my door, landlord is not happy and the same for me!! This is the worst as seen on tv item I’ve bought that ended up being such garbage, I need it off asap, PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO DO THIS

    1. Have wall torn out and replace. I know someone who will do the job for around 3,000.00.

       Then, you’ll have tape off yr wall … you fucking idiot

       1. This is for Lucius Elmore!
          You should find the bathroom and wash your mouth out with soap. If you can’t say something nice, keep your mouth shut.

36. HI brought this product off T.V and it not good DOES NOT hold heavy pictures= Or heavy objecta at all CHARGE $40.00 dollars $19.00 for 3 rolls max..GOT the run around about the with.5 differant numbers. DIDNOT hit 2 rolls at all. REQUESTED double roll tape upgrade was only $ 10.00. TAPE NOGOOD too sticky and tacky. Good on on rugs and small non heavy small plctures. DO not order you will be screwed out of ur money. JADE

    1. I can’t believe all these negative reviews about alien tape! I have used it to hang various large and heavy art work on my walls, which are painted drywall btw, and never had any of them fall, get loose or moved In any way. Easily removed if you want to hang another painting or shift to another wall.

37. I purchased the alien tape and it really holds well, I haven’t use it to hold anything that weighs more than 5lbs. But when I tried to remove it from a painted wall it pulled a significant amount of paint off. Also I used it on drywall and it pulled the drywall off and there is a hole in my wall!! I am very disappointed in how it tore this hole. I wish I could attach pictures of what it did.

38. Alien Tape was difficult to cut -sticking to the scissors. It appeared to work for a few minutes, but within about a half hour, the little 3 pound shelf I hung fell down on one side. The other side ripped the paint and paper off the wall when I tried to take it down. I agree, the add says ALL SURFACES – the instructions say not on sheetrock. I tried a piece in a hidden area and it didn’t hurt the wall, so I thought it might be okay – but NOT if you try to hang something. It does work to stick the corner of my carpet down – rather high price to pay for THAT! This product does NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED!!

39. Thank you to all. After having read the reviews, I will be saving myself both money and headache.

40. Ordered the product and didn’t receive it for about a month and a half later.
    Sadly, I tried to put up a few pictures on my newly painted wall with Alien Tape. Two of the pictures later fell to the floor and when I tried to remove one picture and reposition it, it damaged that wall. Just as someone else noted it their review of the product, the advertising of the product is terrible. If I had known the stuff will damage my painted walls painted walls or won’t even hold my pictures, I wouldn’t bought the stuff a month and a half ago. Needless to say, I won’t be using Alien Tape on any more pictures. Product not worth it!

41. I agree these people who say it works are liars who use this to help get more people into buying it. everything you said about your stuff was right it sucks.

42. I am not satisfied with the tape. It did not hold a two pound object to my wall for more than two weeks. How do I get my money back?

43. Ordered this tape on 4/28/20. Don’t remember when I was to receive it. It was not until I threatened to contact my credit card company that I received an answer. Advertisement claims to work on all surfaces. I waited a month to receive this product, only to open and read the instructions. Highlighted in bright yellow print, it reads “If using on sheetrock and painted surfaces. Application will be permanent, removing may cause paint to peel or to leave residue” That is not what the advertisement says. RIP OFF, Do Not Purchase. Could have purchase thru Amazon or Wal-Mart and would not have had to wait a month to receive it and would be easier to return.

    1. In my opinion, Alien tape sucks, not sticks. I bought 3 rolls of the tape and gave one away having two more I am going to throw away. I paid $89 for 3 ceramic butterflies to hang on my bedroom wall behind my sleigh bed. One of the butterflies fell down with two weeks and landed on a picture I was storing behind the headboard. It damaged the frame (which cost $350) in three places. I am now in the process of taking down the other two butterflies to use the old fashioned reliable method of screws and hooks to hold them to the wall. Don’t waste your money unless you are trying to attach something to the floor (where it can’t fall).

       1. Sorry you had to pay that much for this garbage!!!! I will tell everyone what crap it is

    2. I also recently ordered Alien Tape because I want to hang pictures on walls in my apartment with it. I have no way of knowing if my painted walls are sheetrock of drywall! Does this mean I have to ask the management company? The building was built I’d guess I the llate 60s or early 70s. I DO NOT APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU DO NOT PUT THAT IN YOUR ADS ON TV. I AM GLAD I FOUD WHAT IT SAID ABOUT PAINTED SHEETROCK BEFORE I STARTED HANGING PICTURES! Andrea Ranta, OH

       1. Sheetrock and drywall are the same thing.

       2. Every co.mer oak I have seen on tv clearly states it is is not removable from drywall which is the same thing as sheetrock. If you can nail a nail into your wall, it is drywall/sheetrock.

          1. It does not say that on TV! It says just the opposite…that it can be easily removed! Please don’t spread disinformation! It ripped the paint off my wall! Have you ever used Alien Tape on your walls? I have. The negative reviews comments are true!

44. I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility problems?
    A number of my blog readers have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox.
    Do you have any advice to help fix this issue?

    1. They’re just here to sell that b.s. tape, not to offer helpful advice.

45. Re order # 368Q4202014122229. You shipped to the wrong address. I gave a different ship to address. Have been unable to coBract the shipping company. If it goes to the wrong address the item will probably be not recoverable. Please let me know how you plan to handle this.

    1. call your bank and have them know you did not receive it, you have the right to get your money back if you do not get the product. just call the bank.. seriously people.

    2. I agree these people who say it works are liars who use this to help get more people into buying it. everything you said about your stuff was right it sucks. just call your bank its refundable if you have paid for something and you do not receive it. tell them…

46. Not for use. We fell for the sales pitch.
    Used the tape for various applications.
    Held a few pieces of paper on a wall. Tried holding a few pounds…held for about 30 seconds and eventually came loose.
    Was not a waste of money because we returned it and our money refunded. It was a waste of time trying its uses.

    1. I agree these people who say it works are liars who use this to help get more people into buying it. everything you said about your stuff was right it sucks.

       1. I’m with you on this. I’ve used it for several things. It holds very well. I can remove it easily and I am able to reuse it. I am definitely a fan of the Alien Tape.

    2. To remove alien tape spray some liquid gold on it and let it set. First remove the object being held. The Liquid GOLD will cause the tape or any glued surface to slide off. It’s nice on wood surfaces as it leaves a nice shiny surface.

47. I bought alien tape at walmart i have to admit its pretty good but i put it on my skin and it taked the flesh off my bones… Jokeing. But serious it does work . wish i had it before hanging my pictures on the wall.

    1. you lie, its not worth it never held any picture they end up on the floor before the week is out. its good for glueing the carpet down. that is it. and it is not reuseable. it does not even work on cement to hold up pictures.

       1. Bri feistier, you sure are a rude old lady for calling people liars because we are stating our experiences about not having any problems with the alien Tape. I for one haven’t had any of the problems that I am reading about in these reviews. I am quite satisfied with the alien Tape. So by you calling me a liar just because your negative rude old ass had problems using the tape doesn’t change the fact that I’m still smiling and still using the alien Tape with no problems. And I’m pretty certain there isn’t a smile on your face as you reading this. The look on your face right now is probably just as ugly as your attitude. Have a Blessed Day Ms Negative Rude Ass😁

48. To whom this concerns salesrep. I ordered your Alien Tape on March 27th 2020 for $26.94 which was charged to my account and have not yet received my order can you please notify me on why this is taking so long I sure need this tape and am very upset I read your web sight and seems everyone that has received tape were very pleased so please do accompany me with said order I placed thank you

    1. Go to walmart they got it for 20$

    2. cancel it their tape is crap, it does not hold up on heavy stuff I have followed directions and used extra tape to hold it up but it holds for a lil bit, but comes down to it u may as well use scotch tape for the worth it uses. every picture i put on the wall fall down and scare me and the dogs you never know if it is going to hold or not and I do not want to waste my pictures and the glass replacing them. It is NOT worth it every picture i put up ended up on the floor, so far is fine for taping down small carpet pieces. thats it.

       1. Thank you for an HONEST review!!!

          1. I am not happy with my Alien tape eather!! Don’t hold, every picture I hang fall!! Got mine from Walmart 19 99

       2. THANK YOU!!! SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE!!! CAN’T GET THIS CRAP OFF MY DOOR!!!

       3. I used Alien Tape for putting up a shelf in my shower 2 weeks ago and it’s already coming off. The shelf and the things on it do not come close to weighing 17.5 lbs. I used a piece of tape that was as long as the entire shelf. I wanted to be sure there would be no problem with the tape holding the shelf. I was wrong! To me, it’s obvious this tape was a waste of money! I regret my purchase.

49. order now button does not work, other Amazon button goes to a Nano tape, does not say Alien but its good.
