Hey there,
In this video I take a look at Alien tape. This review focuses on how Alien Tape works on painted surfaces. I try it on painted brick, painted wood, and drywall. Alien Tape can be purchased at your local as seen on TV retailer for around $20. Check out this review to see how Alien Tape works on painted walls.

Thank you for your review, Jeff!
I just opened the box of alien tape I bought at Walmart today and then search UA-cam for some reviews. I watched your video for a while. Then I opened the instruction box that is included inside the primary box and saw that it says the following:
“suitable services: wood, marble, leather, smooth and frosted glass, smooth tile, and plastic surfaces.“ And then in all caps it says, “If using on sheetrock and painted surfaces, application will be permanent. Removing the alien tape may cause paint to peel or leave residue.“
There you go.
Also, it clearly says to clean the surface prior to application and to make sure that the surface is flat (hence, no textured surfaces).
I’m going to give it a try now!
Thank you for making these points clear as supplied by the manufacturer not the infomercial "For TV" sales gimmicks.
But but the advert said "On Any Surface" so ... *shifty eyes* someone at alien tape is confused.
Sadly, many products are misleading on the infomercial. Thanks for sharing.
We absolutely love Alien Tape! I use it for pictures, hanging fan remotes, holding rugs in place, 4ft Christmas stars on the windows outside (very windy in NM), Wreaths on the door, etc and have never had 1 issue. Works just as advertised!
These are all great, reasonable, uses for Alien Tape. Thanks for sharing - Have a great day and stay safe!
Did you use it on painted walls for the fan remotes and pictures?
Used it on painted “Tuscan” faux finish textured wall (think 1950s lightly textured but not swirls ) painted w satin latex (paint job was 6 years old …fully cured paint…..realized in less than 1 hour not to use on textured surfaces and when I pulled the power strip off the paint stayed on the plaster but the plaster itself stuck to the tape….so take my advice because I actually love this stuff …..semigloss and satin paint always (best for finish ,durability and clean ability) when you paint inside your home and When Using Alien Tape ,or nano tape as the knock offs are called, NEVER USE ALIENTAPE ON TEXTURED WALLS if you even think you might one day want to remove that item!!!!!! Thanks Jeff for another great review
!
17.5 pound
in the commercial they put the weight on the wall
flat
you put a basket on the wall so by physics you applied more force to the top strip
anyway probably i buy some test and try it
it would be awsome with small signs
thank you for your time to make this video
This was my second review of the product, my initial review I taped it directly to the refrigerator. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Exactly... The size of the basket adds leverage, making it actually "heavier" at the top.
Thank you! This is exactly the information I was looking for before I use the stuff on my walls and ears is the only video I can find on all of UA-cam that shows removing it from different painted surfaces
Happy to help! I also found using a hair dryer to heat the tape before removal can help minimize damage. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Good review, very helpful. I bought some awhile back and haven't used it very much because I saw the warning about painted surfaces peeling. I'm really disappointed because my house inside and out, is painted. I wanted to hang pictures throughout the house without putting nail holes in my newly painted rooms and outside I wanted to hang a "Porch Rules" plaque, but of course the outside is painted too. I wanted to hang strings of Christmas lights around the windows, inside and out, but won't do that. I imagine I'll find some things to use it for eventually but I'm not really happy with my purchase for the things I wanted it for. It should give the warning about using it on paint on the commercials.
Thank you for this review! I think I will save myself the $20.
Happy to help. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Using a hair dryer or ice will help release to reduce the chance of taking off paint. It works because the nano tape has no solvent to adhere but micro-finger grips like a gecko. The only thing is how do you get heat to the tape if you have something mounted on top of it, it's a good video to tryout haha. The paint removal/wall damage is the biggest concern folks have. If you want a roll of it cheaper than 3x$20, it can be found on amazon for much cheaper if you go for generic nano tape rather than this branded nano tape.
Thanks for the tips for removing the tape. Also be careful with the nano tape on amazon...although it is probably the same stuff make sure you are getting the length you want. These are 10 ft rolls. I've seen them in all sorts of sizes. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I think it's weird that none of the tapes on amazon tell you to twist to remove. If they were the same, wouldn't removal be similar also?
Thanks Jeff for getting back to me so fast! Great video, you answered all my questions on this tape. I have subscribed to your channel... looking forward to seeing more of your reviews!
I appreciate the support! Have a great day and stay safe.
Loving this channel. Thank you for doing the work for me.
You just saved me $20. ✌️
Happy to help! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
This could be staged but for some reason I trust you...Not as versatile as advertised but I think we would have some uses for it around the house...good to know about the paint dynamic too, thanks
Hahaha. This is all real life. The tape is ok, just be careful on painted surfaces.
Wish I had seen your review before I hung several light-weight canvas pictures on a painted dry wall. Some of the pictures fell off in about 2 weeks. A few others are still in place. However, when I tried to remove them, the paint came off with a bit of the drywall as well. I think you're right. It must have something to do with the type of paint. The wall was painted with 2 coats of Sherwin Williams flat paint.
That happened to me too!
It has a warning in the description to not use it on flat paint. Also textured surfaces.🙄 I was about to purchase some but I don’t know now.
I think the adhesion of the tape to the flat paint only meant that the adhesion of the tape to the paint was stronger than the adhesion of the paint to the drywall.
that sounds like it makes sense...no good for the drywall - haha.
what's the result of this? Am I in danger of imploding myself or my spouse? Maybe just her?
Good job Dude! Thanks for showing different scenarios; for example, brick, drywall, 2 different kinds of paint on drywall, etc.
Absolutely! Thanks for commenting.
Thank you for this review - just painted my walls and ready to mount photos of the family. Hubby discovered Alien Tape at our local Menard's. I wont be buying since it failed the latex wall paint test. LOL My remodel has me spackling, painting A LOT as it is...why prolong the torture when I go to sell my home.
OH! I subscribed to your page too.
I have recently found that heat is the kryptonite of this tape. Maybe a hair dryer would help remove without damaging walls. All I know is on my walls with flat paint it tore it off. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I appreciate the subscription!
You have a positive attitude it definitely helped my day out😀
Thanks for your kind words. Have a great day and stay safe!
yep, I used this tape on walls and after a month or more it hardens and is almost impossible to get off - ripped off my paint like the flat finish you demonstrated...
I have had trouble getting it off of walls as well. That being said, head and humidity are the kryptonite of alien tape...try a hair dryer.
@@Jeffreviews4u // how do I use the hair dryer under the item that's on the wall with Alien Tape. I just feel like I need to be prepared to not only repair my wall, but repaint it. I used 3 strips on the back of a tile like plaque. It's stuck. Helllp!!!!!
@@Donna-vh5ym I have twisted an item, which broke the seal leaving the tape still on the wall.
@@Jeffreviews4u // thank you. I finally got it off. I had to take a knife and get behind it until it came loose after a long time. Man, that stuff is strong. 💪....
Terrible ripped the paint off my walls now I have to repaint
I love nano tape! I heard your supposed to heat the tape before removing it. Lol
Thanks for your presentation. Wish I had seen it BEFORE I put up my framed certificates. A couple didn't last a week so decided to take them all down and put them on a separate piece of wood. Well, trying to take the tape off a painted wall tore the paint off as it did in your video. I believe the product is good but wisdom as to what type of surface is so important. I will continue to use it for other situations but it won't be on a drywall!
thanks again i know it will hold some keys and stick a rug down to my floor.
Thanks for checking it out, I think it will work great on a rug.
@@Jeffreviews4u wouldn't buy it
Surprise for vic, I'm going to get some of this because I want to put up a couple of small pictures on painted drywall.... w/o making holes in the wall. So I do have a use for it. :) Thanks for doing this review.
Small paintings are perfect for this item, just expect it may pull off paint if you take it down. Thanks for checking it out. Have a great day and stay safe.
Command Hooks are better.
I am a fan of command hooks!
@@Jeffreviews4u I don't know what that is, do you have a review?
@Sue G - no, but that could be arranged!
Right on the package it says NOT to use it on flat painted surfaces.
It sure does. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
On the surfaces that are cold to the touch, maybe if you use a hair dryer to warm it up so it sticks better. On the subject of getting it off safely how would a hair dryer be to get the tape warm to remove without taking pain off ? I'm gonna try it my self also. I'd love to see your reviews on warming it up also PLEASE.
I used it to put up a magnetic strip for my knives. It is solid as a rock after 2 or so months and it is on a painted wall
Have you tried to take the tape down yet…to see if the paint comes off?
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
@@gaylapittman4388 I have not since it’s holding my knives. I will be painting my kitchen in a couple of months. I will let you know what happens
Peep at the football helmet on the dresser behind you... GO BILLS!! 💙❤️
Oh yeah - GO Bills!
You should try using Alien Tape on the cell phone mounts as a replacement adhesive for
the adhesive that comes with the cell phone mounts for cars. The adhesive on those is always sub-par, meaning you are stuck with a cell phone mount that is perfectly good but useless because it won't adhere to the dashboard. I enjoyed your Alien Tape review.
That was a good comparison you did with Alien Tape to Nano Tape.
Thanks for taking another crack at if Jeff. I was really cheering for those weights to hold 😀🤙
Absolutely, thanks for checking it out.
Need test on wall paper and leave up for a year on outside wall ( like in an RV )to see if heat from the sun would weaken, most people don't put up items to remove soon
I'll do you one better. I just used it to mount curtain rods in my RV....2 days later they fell. The heat got to the tape. I have had pictures up in my house for months....sadly didnt work so well in the RV.
It does state to hold it on for a while, when you put it up. Thank you for your reviews .
It's hit or miss with this stuff. That being said, it's amazing on glass. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I was wondering about the painted wall. Mine are satin finish paint. Thanks Jeff!
painted surfaces had mixed results. Not sure if it depends on style of paint, but the flat paint did terrible. Thanks for checking out the video.
The more sheen of the paint the better up to a point it won't even stick
Thanks for the follow up!
Absolutely. Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you for this information. I want to hang stuff up in my RV but was Leary of this on a painted surface. We are using satin paint but we are painting over the wallpaper in the RV. I’m still kind of concerned about that but this info made it easier for me to know where to start. Thanks again.
I used some in my RV to hold curtains. When it got humid the tape fell off. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Tape stretches snd releases from surfaces when pulled. Will need to extend enough tape outside in an inconspicuous spot for pulling to release.
Thanks for the tip! have a great day and stay safe.
Hi, Jeff...I still think I will pass on the Allen Tape...I just can't seem to really see much use for it...As always, thanks for the review...
Haha. Thanks for the continued support. Have a great day.
I can think of a ton of things but on glass, metal and wood type surfaces. If you wanted to put something up to skew it in, it holds it in place hands free while skewing it in. To hold things on a surface in an RV so it won't fall when you are moving or acrylic shower where space is limited.
They say to hold it tightly against the wall for twenty seconds. Not 3 to 5 seconds. Lol
I still love it. ^_^ just need to hold fabric and metal and wood. So... can't wait.
Thats a good idea. Thanks for sharing.
It took off the paint and the paper on my wall. Not happy about that. Works great everywhere else for me.
ruined my painted drywall in the bedroom. Have two large strips that I cannot remove from flat paint in the living room. Also used on splash around my stove and it works pretty well but when it gets warm the tile object taped to the wall slips. On the whole don’t recommend for heavy job and never on painted walls.
It clearly states in the instructions to press firmly for 15 seconds.
This is correct. Thanks for stopping by and commenting
I bought this but it says it is to block drafts and air leaks. I can appreciate the service you're providing others , It wasn't my style of video because I was bored to tears and found myself skipping ahead.. Could be my ADD . IDK I'm not even to the end yet.
Lol. Thanks for the feedback. Have a great day and stay safe
Used it in our store to put small tile samples on walls. It let go, tiles fell and broke. Tried again with more tape on back and same thing. The longest one that stayed put was 2 months. Clean painted walls-no damage to walls. Would not buy or recommend.
In my opinion this tape works pretty good on light weight items, not for things that have any weight. I have had success holding a picture to the wall but I ended up putting the tape all around the inside edge... that's all hanging a year later... however it used a lot of tape!
Read the instructions. It says to wiggle wiggle while applying constant pressure.
Be very careful we had fairly light (maybe 2 lbs). Alien tape failed and ripped the paint and paper off the wall. Now we need to patch the spots and replace the frames as they were damaged when they fell off the wall. All in all I give alien take a -5 ( yes negative) on a scale of 1-10. I think they have way oversold its capabilities and shouldn’t sell this product any longer.
Thanks Jeff
You're must welcome! Thanks for checking it out.
I think that I might actually get this to replace the backing that I use for Command hooks, as that sometimes fails when the hooks are used to hang things like jackets or my kids' backpacks. That and smaller items around my desk would be great.
There’s actually a good wat to remove it without just yanking it off, heat lol! Like this1 guy used blow dryer n it come off without chipping paint, plus he didn’t just yank it, he did it slowly…
You didn't show if you cleaned the surface before applying. ?? You didn't let the wooden holder "set" to the wall before piling in the weight.
you're right, make sure the surface is clean prior to using the tape and apply pressure for 30 seconds. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Will it work on painteddrywall without damaging the wall hen removed?
I've tried a few things that have worked: (1) use a hair dryer to heat the tape before removal, (2) twist the tape to release it, & (3) pull/stretch the tape like a command strip (this sometimes works). Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I used alien tape with two small panels that I painted, both together weighing close to nothing yet both paintings fell off the wall taking the plaster with it. I know have to repair the two holes. And it doesn't work on glass either! I put a vynil Halloween decoration on the window and it kept fling off the window.
We put a mirror up on brick and it is holding day 2!! Lol
How's it holding now?
We were just suckers before there were reviews to watch.
Lol..."the more you know" thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Thanks for the review.
Absolutely. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I put it on my wall for a cardboard cat scratcher and it took off the first layer of drywall. And Its all over my room.
That’s why I was looking at it too. For my kitty scratchers. I have flat paint though. I will try command strips instead.
I really want someone to try this stuff with angle brackets. Instead of the shelf causing a lever peeling force, the weight would press inward on the angle bracket on another piece of tape. Could be much stronger.
Aliens really do exist there making tape now LOL
Haha. They are coming to take over. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Ofcourse they exist they have been making computers for years.
Thanks - was going to buy it but mine are the type of walls / paint where the tape pulls off the paint. Great job challenging the ad. Also good straight forward informative style. Will look for more reviews. Where were you when I bought that Chicken Rotisserie from Ron Popeil.
haha, good ole Ron. I appreciate your kind words. have a great day and stay safe.
Thanks for this review
Absolutely! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Good Morning JEFF, have a Nice Day !
Good morning. Hope you have a great day.
This is a good product but what they do not tell you on the infomercial is that this will destroy a painted wall that has a flat or eggshell paint on it the best way to remove this is to take a hairdryer and warm it up and slowly peel it off while you're using the hair dryer
My pictures were up for a couple of months and it wrecked my wall/paint. 🙁 Maybe I used too much. I will try the twist method for the second picture.
How'd it go using the twist method? You can also use a hairdryer to loosen the tape. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Unfortunately I didnt read everything just went off the infomercials I seen for it and it damaged my walls when I was trying to remove it. Ill stick with command strips from now on lol
Snake oil salesmen have been around forever. Once, only once, my Mom said to me ‘Do you believe everything you hear/read?’ I knew the correct answer was ‘no’.
Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I luv you! Your videos are awesome. Thanks for the great info.
Glad you like them! Thanks for checking it out and commenting.
Thank you! New Sub 😊 BTW I haven't found alien tape to live up to the TV ads. pretty disappointed. I wouldn't buy it again
I am still trying to find someone online to answer if Alien or Nano brand tapes will damage the plastic type wall covering that is use on RV walls and can find no comments. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has used it on RV walls
How do you remove this stuff?
I have a AC powerstrip on the side of an Ikea nightstand which worked great. But now I am getting ready to move and I cant get them damn powerstrip off the furniture!
Heat gun? Water?
I've had success with a hair dryer or twist it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Much better review their Jeff thank you
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the support.
I love the tape it's held my framed photos very well. However, now I'm trying to get it off the wall and the wall and I'm having difficulty. Help!
I've had success removing the tape either by twisting the item or using a hairdryer. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. 👍
In the directions it states to apply the tape across all of the edges the object that you are hanging and to press for 15-30 seconds. I noticed you did not do that. Maybe the 17 pounds would've held if the directions were followed? I'm not trying to be rude! I really enjoyed your video! 🙂
Given the intended audience for this product, I don't see old ladies doing that either, and ripping the paint off their walls. if they were more honest about it in the advertisements, then I'd be more forgiving, but this is clickbait scamming.
Thanks Jeff.. very informative
Glad you liked it! Thanks for checking it out
Hi, how do you remove This tape off of a FLAT painted drywall surface?
I've done it a couple of ways. Stretch it like a command strip, twist it, use a hair dryer to heat the tape. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
You're supposed to heat it with a hairdryer before pulling it off.. I guess you wouldnt be able to get the hair dryer behind that plack
that's true, it would be hard to use a hair dryer on something behind a frame. Thanks for the tip though!
I did it and when I took it off it ripped through the facing. How do I get it off without tearing
Looks like it might be good to temporarily hold multiple things together, like nuts and washers, so you can assemble them in tight spaces. I've used Superglue to do that. Looks like it'll do a good permanent job with glass and plastic [very smooth] surfaces. I have great success with Command strips on painted paneling. My pictures/photos are still good after 2 years!
Have you removed any of it yet to see if it damaged the paint?
You put 17.5 pounds of weights in the box but - how much does the original wooden box weigh? It should be included in the total weight.
Love alien tape. Trying to figure out how to remove safely
I've heard a hair dryer helps.
Probably matters how old the paint is as well.
I never got the chance to twist it off. The full length mirror fell off the wall! The tape was left behind and doesn't come off.
That's terrible!
After six months I removed a small 4" X 6" picture and the alien tape took a huge chunk of paint and outer plaster from the dry wall. A big unpleasant joke on me. I can't recommend it for everything. BTW. The same thing happened to me that happened at 7:45 of your demonstration.
It would be nice to know what weight limit the stuff actually WILL hold indefinitely.
it really varies...I put up a curtain rod in the camper and it fell from the heat...thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Keys and light office supplies might stay up until needed again. Stuff you normally store in a cupboard might need further review.
I’m so nervous…I used alien tape to put up a poster on flat painted dry wall😲
How the heck do I get it off?!!! I can’t use that twist off method on paper. Help!!!
Do the instructions for the removal of an item, tell you to twist the stuck item then lift it off?
Yes; you twist it and it should release.
How would this do to hold a popsocket or iRing to a phone case?
Initially it would probably hold but it would come off after time.
Please try it with rug over carpet.
I've used it in a vinyl floor and a rug. My concern is it caused a large lump where the tape was...I prefer to use carpet tape, much thinner and gets the job done!
are you using the original stuff which is pretty thick? I used some to hold a non sticky privacy plastic film on half a window. I could not remove it easily at all. Was I supposed to use water to get it off? I tried prying it off with my hands multiple timesand I was really not expecting the trouble at all. Plus for me it is too thick to put on a laminate floor with a runner or area rugl. In my experience, I’d never get it off.
Yes this is the original stuff. If you're able twisting the item will help release the tape. Getting the tape warm with a hair dryer also helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting
wondering about stained wood?
It should stick if the wood is prepped correctly but you always run the risk of taking of some of the stain once removed.
We tried alien tape on painted drywall. We hung hand sanitizer dispensers. Weight was 2lbs 3.7 oz. It fell off the wall within 30 mins. I do not recommend this tape.
I wouldn't use this tape on something I'd apply pressure on. I found it's good for hanging things that won't be touched again - ha. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Tysm for this
Absolutely! Thanks for checking it out and commenting.
Just wondering how old your paint was and what types of paints were on each surface. Not how old the paint was in the cans 😁. But how long ago the walls and exterior surfaces were painted because newly painted walls will peel easier with anything. For example, I purchased adhesive backsplash tiles and the instructions said you had to wait 3 months after painting before you can use them. What were the timeframes of the surfaces you used with regards to paint curing times?. Especially the exterior painted wood - what types of paint was on these surfaces ex. oil based vs latex.
The green paint was relatively new...within 6 months or so. The white paint was pretty old, at least 5 years (that's how long I've owned this house). I found that the satin paint worked better for peeling the tape off as compared to the flat. I will say since this review I have found that heat is the enemy of the nano tape....a hair dryer will surely take off the tape. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Yeah they don't tell you this in the As Seen On TV commercial but it will not work on flat finish paint it's better for satin semi-gloss or gloss because if you put it on a flat based paint it will destroy the paint job the best way to get this off a take a hairdryer on a low setting and warm it up
How in the poop do you remove it from the floor without tearing it
Did you ever try washing it and reusing it ♥
I have, it didn't work the same as when it was new. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u Thanks, that's good to know. I still love it for as long as it lasts ♥
To remove off painted surfaces you supposed to use a spray bottle with water
I've heard a hair dryer works well too. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Could you try this and show us results pls. Thanks
Hi Jeff. So we know it won't hold 17 lbs. But have to tested it by reducing the weight and seeing what it will hold?
I've tried a variety of things and haven't had a lot of success. I've found out that humidity and heat aren't the friend of alien tape. It just falls off. I've had the best experience on glass. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Curious... I'm looking for something that will hold a vase or lamp onto a table if my cats run into the table or go crashing into item itself. Hoping the Alien Tape can secure an item to a table. Can you throw pillows at a cheap vase and the table so I can see if the item would go flying off the table? I need something like museum wax. Cat tornadoes. Thanks.
Lol. I taped bottles to a table and it held pretty strong. I'm not sure if it would survive a cat attack but it was difficult to knock over. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Can you try it on textured plaster painted walls.
i bought the tape. Now i am sorry i did. If we are ever out of lock down, it will be in my yard sale.
I do find uses for this tape. It is helpful when doing DIY projects and you need another set of hands. Haha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
So in the end a dab of hot glue will hold better than this and has the same side effect might remove paint.... or not
Lol. In some applications this may hold more than hot glue.
Maybe i missed it on the other review but my question is or comment . They say that the alien tape can be washed and reused with the same results. Have you tried this and did it work well for you?
This review was the 2nd one, I did try to use it after being washed. It did stick the 2nd time but not nearly as well as it did the first time. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Hi Jeff. Thanks for the video ... What do you think about putting the tape between a chair protector and the bottom of the chair to hold it in place. My little pads are always coming off.
That could be a good use. I use it to temporarily hold an item while I screw it in...It is like having a second set of hands. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
So I used alien tape to install wall tapestries.. my question.. I am now moving and removing the tapestries from the wall.. 2 walls are on wood paneling and 1 is on painted drywall. It's been up for a few months and I can peel the tapestry loose from the tape but the tape itself is stuck to the wall. How do you remove the tape? It seems to just break into small pieces.. any ideas or suggestions? What about the drywall?
