Winner of the coveted "Most Disappointing Amazon Purchase of All Time" award
Applied as instructed in October 2020, removed as instructed in March 2021. The application process was easy because, well, it's just a matter of cutting the right length and applying the tape, but the removal process was a nightmare. The tape itself stretches and tears easier than plastic wrap, and it leaves behind a copious amount of adhesive residue. Cleaning the residue off a single window frame using Goo-Gone took 10 solid minutes and required a good deal of elbow grease.
"The XFasten Weather Sealing Tape is surface-safe and will not leave a residue nor lift the paint off from your windows upon removal."
This is a lie. The entire length of the tape left significant residue, and the stuff I applied to painted frames peeled the paint clean off.
If you don't care about the residue and intend to leave this tape up year-round in a garage/shed/etc., then maybe it's worth a purchase. In terms of weather-sealing it seemed to work well enough, but I will never be purchasing this product again based on the blatant false-advertising and the fact that it is so astoundingly frustrating to remove cleanly.
