Tape tends to stick best to smooth, clean surfaces like glass, metal, or plastic. These surfaces provide the best contact for the adhesive to adhere to, allowing the tape to stick for a longer period of time. Rough or dirty surfaces may cause the tape to lose its stickiness more quickly.
The texture and cleanliness of a surface can affect the adhesion of tape. A rough surface may provide more contact points for the tape to stick to, increasing adhesion. Conversely, a dirty or oily surface may reduce adhesion as it prevents the tape from making proper contact with the surface.
Glue typically does not stick well to duct tape because duct tape has a smooth, water-resistant surface that may prevent the glue from adhering properly. It's best to use a strong adhesive specifically designed for bonding materials like duct tape.
Tape conducts heat through a process called conduction. When you touch a piece of tape to a warm surface, the heat is transferred from the surface to the tape through direct physical contact.
Tape sticks best to dry surfaces because the water on wet surfaces interferes with the adhesive's ability to create a strong bond. Dry surfaces allow the adhesive to adhere more firmly, creating a stronger and longer-lasting bond between the tape and the surface.
To stick a mirror to the wall, you can use adhesive mounting tape or mirror adhesive. Ensure the wall and mirror surface are clean and dry before applying the adhesive. Press the mirror firmly against the wall for the adhesive to set properly.

It is paper becaue it sticks and never will come off.
It is made of specially cohesive material on one side, and other non-stick material on the other side, giving tape its ability to stick. However, all of the cohesive products are not released to the public, since they are mostly secret.
This tape comes on a roll. One side is covered with a protective strip of paper. Unroll the paper and the tape and stick it down to one of the surfaces to be joined, pressing down firmly. Then, carefully lift a corner of the protective paper and remove it. Then stick the second surface to the top side of the tape.
Depends on the tape.
Sponge must be dry. Duct tape will stick.

Yes, the back of each is double stick tape.

To effectively stick a mirror to a wall, you can use mirror adhesive or double-sided mounting tape. Clean the wall and mirror surface, apply the adhesive or tape to the back of the mirror, and press it firmly against the wall for a secure hold.
3M VSB tape is designed for various surfaces, but its adhesion to polyethylene can be limited due to the low surface energy of the material. While it may stick initially, the bond might not be strong or durable over time. For better adhesion on polyethylene, it’s recommended to use a tape specifically formulated for low-energy surfaces or to prepare the surface properly before application.
