Like VHB, Gorilla tape has adhesive on both sides so that it can be used to bond two different objects. Gorilla tape can be used both indoors and outdoors on wood, glass, brick, ceramic, stone, and some plastics.

An easy way to peel off the backing is tear the tape instead of cutting it. Tearing leaves an exposed edge allowing you to peel the protective liner. I used the tape to adhere an acrylic book rack to our mantle and brick fireplace. The rack is holding a 20 x 36 mirror. I also put the tape on the back of the mirror to hold it in place.
It works!
I feel compelled to write this review after seeing all these one star reviews. This stuff gets the job done! I have hung a bunch of stuff around the house with this and none of it has fallen. The backing is not really that hard to remove.
Hard to use!
