As a concept, I like this tape because it helps with holding down a rug in a difficult spot.  However, it's a bit of a lightweight.  That said, I have to admit that the spot in which I am using it is a high traffic area, so the rug is not being held down as strongly as I'd like it to be held.  I am not giving up on this tape, though, because it has excellent sticking qualities; it's just that it's thin.  What I plan on doing, and I think this will solve my problem very well, is that when I have to replace the layer of tape I put down, I will simply double the layer of tape and I'm sure that this will do the trick very nicely.  It does stick better to the rug than it does to the rough wooden floor that is under the rug and that is also a factor to consider.  On a smoother surface, I think this would be even better, but it's not bad, really, just a bit light for the high traffic and rough floor, but nothing that doubling it won't help, I believe.
