A:  This tape is not really designed to serve as a Carpet Seaming tape, and especially if carpet padding is going to be used. This is a double sided tape that works really well on stair treads and situations where you need both sides of the tape to stick to a surface. We use this to adhere carpet stair treads and it is really strong and durable. If the use case is to tape together two carpet sections at their seams, Roberts (and other manufacturers) have single sided tapes that work really well and better for those use cases. Seaming tapes are about the same price as this tape, are readily available and come in both pressure-sensitive and heat-sensitive installation options.

A:  I tried but the sections pulled apart. To be fair I was working on a slight slope.

A:  Yes! That's exactly what I bought it for. I was tired of the area rug moving, this was the answer.

A:  It could be used to 'seam' carpet to carpet, but don't expect the same results and durability of a hot glued seam.

It is Not a permanent tape to immobilize a rug or mat. Make sure the floor and rug backing surface is thoroughly clean and dry. Apply tape to fit the rug or mat (per packaging instructions) and install rug parallel to the direction that most foot traffic will flow.

A:  Yes it will.

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.

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

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
