I am an big user of double sided tape. I am a crafter and use it almost daily. I like that this Scotch brand tape is good for archiving, it won't yellow with age and is acid free for photos. It is also very sticky which is good because I use it for my Aida cloth for cross stitching and it maintains stuck even after I bring something out a year later. (I use it for creating Christmas ornaments as well). I have bought $Dollar Store double sided tape however and found it quite comparable. I will buy this Scotch brand usually when it is on sale, or when I get it as a gift. My friends all know I am an avid crafter, so they buy me stuff like this for presents.
