The majority of folks that enjoy creative endeavor tasks such as scrap booking are aware of double sided tape as it's perfect for this sort of application. However, there are a variety of different kinds of adhesive tape with adhesive on both sides on the market as of late which have been designed for specific applications. Here we will outline a handful of the numerous and assorted purposes of this sort of sticky-tape.
The most widely used kind of double sided tape is the thin kind employed by crafters as mentioned above. It is extremely handy for attaching paper and card-based materials to each other where the appearance of sticky-tape is unwanted. There also exists a thicker version and a foam type which can be used to mount slightly more substantial physical objects than papers and cardboard. When implemented in craft tasks, foam double sided tape produces a desirable three-dimensional effect. There is also a kind of tape exclusively designed for craft jobs where photographs and film are involved.
Needless to say, double sided tape is invariably used where invisibility is required and nowhere is it more vital for tape to be undetectable than when it is employed to secure a wig or toupee. All the same, this type of dual-sided tape has to be capable of withstanding exposure to the natural oils secreted by the skin as well as body heat. This kind of double-sided adhesive tape may also be referred to as 'lingerie tape' given that it can be used to stop clothing from moving around and becoming too revealing. Consequently, it's commonly used in fashion shows and other shows. Having said that, it is not to be wrongly identified as and hopefully not accidentally mistaken for the type of double sided tape employed to secure garment hems in the short term.
A final word regarding double sided tape: always use the kind that's been designed especially for the surface you intend using it on or it may not work too well. Take toupee tape, for example. You certainly don't want to risk a clothing malfunction by utilizing two-sided stickytape meant for paper materials instead of the correct toupee tape. Not only will the aforesaid paper stickytape not stick to your skin successfully but you might wind up with a nasty rash as well!
