What is it?a double-sided adhesive strip for mounting and securing objects like artwork, photos, etc.

What does it claim? to be able to be used again and again on most flat surfaces

Who tested it? Virginia Beach resident and kindergarten teacher at Rainbow Station Elinor Cunniff.

What Are The Instructions? The Scotch Reusable Strips come in three inch strips but can be cut to the size you need. Once you have them cut to the right size,peel off the strip from the bottom liner and apply that sticky side to the backside of each corner of the object you want to hang. Remove the top liner and press firmly against wall or horizontal surface. One strip can hold up to one pound.

When you're ready to remove it,peel the item very slowly from the wall or horizontal surface. Do not pull the item straight out. Then peel the strip from the surface very slowly. For rigid, non-paper objects, twist the object from the adhesive strip during removal. The stripscan be reused, butwith repetitive use or exposure to dust particles, the strips may lose stickiness.To refresh thestickiness, gently wash the strip with soapy water, rinse and let it air dry.

Did it work? Our tester was very impressed. She has been struggling to find something that would stick to the concrete walls in her classroom. She had even resorted to using a glue gun,which left behind residue that had to be scraped off and then the wall repainted.

The Scotch Reusable Strips had no problem sticking to her walls and they came off without leaving anything behind.Her favorite part was that with just a little soap and water they were ready to be used again. She saysany product thatisuseful the classroom and helps save you money is a winner.

Cost/Availability? We purchased a pack of six Scotch Reusable Strips for $2.99 at Walgreens.
