Tenacious Indeed! Withstands wear, washer and drier. Saved a $200 down jacket. I made the mistake of using my new down jacket as a winch line damper, and it got sucked in around a tree while recovering another Jeep. The result were several rips in the nylon shell, which I temporarily patched with medical tape. I re...

Unbelievably Cool. I couldn't wait to get my Natural Apiary beeswax pellets and start making wonderful all natural products.

Move on. If you are looking at this transfer tape, move on... It had good reviews and a good price, so I gave it a try. It doesn't grip the vinyl to be able to transfer it to anothet surface.

Yes, it's skinny, I knew that. It's the overall quality that got a low rating from me... flimsy, dull colors. Low quality. I read the dimensions and knew it would be thin so that was not a surprise and did not influence my rating. I was disappointed by the dull colors, flimsy quality of the tape in both stickiness and ...

Very versatile product. Originally I bought and reviewed this product as a medium for arts and crafts. While it was great at that, for me its use didn't stop there. This product has been very useful when I needed a piece of plastic that didn't exist. For example, when the plastic solar panel broke off of the top of my ...

A must for any left handed child. These scissors are great for my left-handed son and daughter. It's too bad that you can't buy them in stores, so thank goodness Amazon offers them for less than buying them off the Fiskars website. These are true left handed scissors with the blades reversed so a lefty can see what t...

Fantastic all-purpose art sketchbook. I LOVE this notebook. If I could give it a zillion stars, I would.

It has a nice, understated cover that doesn't lo...

Great for making powders, deodorants, and cosmetic masks. Over the holidays I ordered this to make some natural cosmetics with my 13-year old niece. They came out really great.

Good Quality Tags. I was surprised by how many gift tags come with this set. Well, I know it says 100 pcs, but that stack of tags is darn thick. I'm not going to have the chance to use them all up over the holidays. The roll of twine is small enough for me to nearly envelop in my hand, but there seems to be plenty e...

Great tape. The only problem with duct tape, is when you run out of it. Black duct tape is great for many different projects and jobs, it gives a cleaner look then the silver/gray. The Scotch brand seems to hold the best bond for me. I currently have the tape on plastic, paper, wood, rubber, over the hook side of velcr...

Finish lacks consistent quality. am glad I only ordered 1 pkg of these for my business because the silver finish was uneven or as if there were tiny particles in paint. If these are cast, there was contamination in the molten metal. I ordered 1,000 of their octagon studs and the finish was the same poor quality as th...

But I quickly got over it when I started to actually put it together the way I wanted to because the boxes themselves ar...

Fast and detailed. I've been having a ton of fun casting stuff with this. I read the reviews before buying, and then read the full instructions that were included, and following them properly hasn't lead to any issues. Although I suppose if you are doing larger objects you might struggle. What I do is this: 1. Ball up...

Not as heavy/durable as I had anticipated -- but no problems with count or contents. I bought these fo fill some holes in a fiberglas equipment carrying case -- and hoped they would be a bit tougher/more durable. They fill the bill, but I still would have liked something a bit more substantiual. One word of advice to...

Best scissors going. These are the finest scissors around, and will be a permanent fixture in my shop. I own two pairs now, as I wanted a second set for the office. People, these are not stainless steel. They are carbon steel. They maintain a better edge than stainless, but they will rust if not properly maintained. G...
