Q: How well do these block out the light? I need something that completely blocks the light out. Anyone got a picture of how well these work?

You can use scotch tape (or any other good tape) and use black trash bags which you likely already have to black out the window for significantly cheaper than these. I used a 30 gal 1.2 mil trash bag on my window which covered the whole thing, and it blocks out about 95% of the light. The drapes then block out the rest creating total black out. If you were to buy the heavy duty "yard trash bags" that are 2 mil or thicker, I guarantee those would blackout a window alone. A 50 gal yard or construction trash bag would cover a huge window. With my drapes (which I never open) you can see the trash bag either so it doesn't look bad. The window its on faces my backyard so nobody will ever see it outside. This window unfortunately faces east so the rising sun beams in my window and I work nights and come home to go to sleep in the morning. This works like a charm!

Q: what kind of tape to use?

2 my redi Shade easy life cordless shades keep falling, the seal tape liner stopped working, how do I get more tape for my 2 blinds that are 60" x 64"? Where do I order the tape from? Looking forward hearing back you soon. Thxs

Q: Is it sturdy enough to be taken on and off daily, without ruining the adhesive?

A simple solution to mounting them daily is to use push pins or thumbtacks. If you cannot push them into wood to hold the blinds at the top of each side then use a tiny hammer or the rubber handles of a pair of pliers. When you leave if you're worried about the holes created by use of pins or tacks just spackle them with wood dough. You might use the same holes to push the pins into.

Q: Can I use these in my apartment where there are already existing permanent blinds (not blackout ones) which I cannot remove?

The blinds are about 1 1/2 inches in depth. If you have room between the permanent blinds and the window they should fit. The top sticks to the window and unfolds downward as far as you want. They provide a clip to set the height.
