Alien Tape claims you won’t ever need screws or anchors again because it can lock anything in place on any surface without damaging it or leaving a sticky residue. Test: Viewer Caren Luckie used Alien Tape to hang three different objects: a dry erase board, a medium-sized picture frame and a plastic thermometer outside on a wooden pillar. To test that claim that it can hold 17.5 pounds, I used Alien Tape on a mirror that weighs 17 pounds. We covered the entire outside of the frame with Alien Tape, removed the backing and pressed it securely onto a wall. Verdict: Alien Tape’s claims that it can hold heavy items on a wall without damaging the wall are not true.
