This tape was extremely easy to use, and it was very effective at replacing the worn feet on my computer's mouse. It is much more cost effective than throwing away the perfectly good computer mouse just because the mouse's feet have become worn away.Just clean and degrease the mouse's feet, peel off a length of tape, and then apply the tape to the mouse's feet, pressing down firmly on the tape to help the tape bond onto your mouse's feet.The tape has no backing that you have to peel off before you stick the tape onto whatever you want to apply the tape to. Just make sure that you thoroughly clean and degrease the surface that you want to stick the tape to.The tape is thin and easy to trim if you feel the need to trim it after you apply the tape to a surface. I did not trim the tape after I applied the tape to my mouse's worn feet. I allowed the tape to overlap my mouse's feet after I applied it, because I feel that allowing the tape to overlap will increase the wear life of the mouse's feet.I even let the tape that I applied to the rear of my mouse overlap the mouse's battery door on purpose, because the tape roll is so big that when I do need to replace the mouses batteries, all that I will have to do to replace the batteries is to peel off the old tape, replace the batteries, and then re-apply new tape to the rear of the mouse's feet after I am done.The tape is thin and semi transparent, so it will not be easy to spot the tape on a surface that you have applied it to.The tape is sort of cloudy, just like scotch tape is, so the semi transparency allows the tape to blend in well with the background where it is applied to.At first, I was very wary of how thin the tape actually was, because it is about the thickness of three or four layers of scotch tape, but this thinness actually make the tape more flexible, so it will conform to the surfaces that it is applied to.The tape is also very tough and wear resistant. I have used this tape at work, on machines, to line wear surfaces to reduce friction and sliding wear, so I know that this tape is very tough and wear resistant.Just avoid the temptation to apply oil onto the surface of the tape to try and further reduce friction, because this will only cause the tape to wear faster and it will also attract dirt onto the tapes surface, which will make it wear out even faster and cause the tape to become soft and gooey, which will cause the tape to fail quickly.

My kitchen has the original 1950s wood cabinets. The drawers have wood runners, which were generating sawdust every time I opened them. I was so bad that I had to rewash anything I pulled from the cabinets below the drawers because it was covered with sawdust. I found an article about using polyethylene film tape on wood furniture and decided to try it on the cabinets. I vacuumed out the sawdust, washed the drawers and cabinets and applied the tape to the drawer underside and the area where the drawer runs in the cabinet. The tape applied easily and instantly fixed the problem. The drawers run smoothly and there is no more sawdust! It has been about a month and the tape is still working perfectly. I wish I would have found this tape years ago.

The tape is filled with numerous mini circles all throughout the tape, so much for being translucent. It's not air bubbles either, it's a flaw with their tapes now a days.
