I purchased 2 rolls of this tape to repair some rips in our canopy. We used the tape on both side of the tears. The tape is very strong and really sticks to the material. Once you put it on the tear/rip, don't pull it back up because it looses its adhesive around the edges. It has held up with rain and wind, and hasn't come undone nor lost its adhesive. This worked out much better than having to purchase a replacement canopy.

This is EXTRA-thick, EXTRA sticky packing tape. It does the things you wish packing tape did well.

I slap it over handwritten labels to waterproof them and keep them impervious to wear and tear. Despite heavy use, I've never encountered the tape beginning to peel off around the corners, not even on items that get moved around a lot. Once it's on, it actually stays.

This stuff is THICK. Before I found it I was using packing tape as a poor man's laminate for paper "cards" in my wallet to make them last. Well, I tried using this Gorilla Clear Repair Duct Tape, 1.88" x 9 yd., Clear instead and it made the card too thick for comfort! That's a good thing, considering its original purpose.

My only complaint isn't really a complaint; it's just so thick I always overestimate how much is left on the roll. I also highly recommend non-stick scissors with this.

I definitely plan on always having a roll nearby!

This tape works as advertised. Very transparent, sticky, pliable, and strong. I used it to fix a screen door with a patch of screen scratched out from the cat clawing it open, as a temporary fix. Taped both sides; looks like it will last as long as I need it to. I look forward to using for other tasks as they come up.

I bought this 2-pack to reinforce my RV's awning, which was delaminating (coming apart) at the very top section (the part that is always exposed to the sun). Prior to applying, I followed some advice I got online for how to make this stuff stick, and it seems to be working:

1.) clean off the area you're going to apply this stuff using soapy water.
2.) clean the area again with a 50/50 mixture of water and Isopropyl Alcohol. I mixed these together in a spray bottle, and worked my way over the entire area.
3.) apply the tape - slowly and carefully - making sure you don't leave any creases or wrinkles where air (and later water) could get trapped.
4.) use a roller to go over the entire area to ensure the edges are sealed and any air bubbles worked out.

I did this about a month ago, and the awning looks great (except for the areas of the awning that delaminated down to the fiberglass threads layer). Not sure how long this will last (the sun is the sun, after all), but even if it only buys me a year, it's a good temporary solution.

Tried to use this to patch an Aerobed with a *ridiculous* sized hole. It definitely helped a LOT, but there's no way it was going to patch it sufficiently once weight was on the bed. But it was a HUGE difference from having no patch vs having the patch so I imagine this might be useful for other purposes. I'm just not sure any inflatable that is going to have weight on it would work for this.
