Super Sticky, Used it to Protect My Kitchen Cabinets
This is definitely an off-label use for this product. My brand-new kitchen cabinets are beautiful, except for one glaring design flaw. All storage areas below the counter level have pull-out drawers that operate on ball bearing slides. The problem is that the part of the slide that is mounted to the drawer comes into contact with the cabinet doors when you pull out the drawer. This was causing severe scratching, which I obviously wanted to prevent. Here a picture is worth a thousand words, so check out the pictures of how I protected my cabinet doors with this tape. I used the 10-mil thickness by the way. The tape also comes in 5-mil. It works well unless you deliberately try to gouge the tape. Otherwise, during accidental contact, the tape protects my investment just fine.
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Truck bed drawer slide solution
Reviewed in Canada on May 19, 2021
I am outfitting the bed of my truck with a raised bed that has two storage compartments below the sleeping surface. A bed in a bed. At the tailgate end of the bed, I have a 25.5" wide by 33" drawer that will hold food and cooking supplies. Rather than install expensive drawers slides (not really needed because the drawer will rest on the tailgate) I decided to try the umhw tape.

I installed the tape on the bottom of the drawer, and on the opposite surface. Unfortunately the sheer size of the drawer provided too much surface area to really make the tape effective. So, I cut some 1" x 24" strips of 1/4" thick umhw I had lying around as "runners" (to reduce surface contact) for the tape on the drawer bottom to make contact with. Boom. Slides beautifully.

I could have applied the tape to some maple strips (as opposed to the 1/4" umhw I had), but decided the solid umhw would increase the slide factor. It did.

The tape adheres very well to plywood. I don't think it will come unstuck, but time will tell.

Good product, easy to use.
