Polyken510 Vinyl Coated Cloth Premium Gaffer's Tape, 11.5 mil Thick, 50m Length, 48mm Width, Gray, 48mm x 50m

Needed a tape to tape my front bumper temporary. My car is a red 08 Nissan Altima Coupe.The tape is red but did not match my car paint and I know this going in, just needed something close.This is more reddish orange than red. The tape stick out easily on my car.

The product comes in a plastic bag. The product weighs 15 oz is 6 3/16 in diameter, and is 1 inch width. The product looks like black masking tape that is much thicker than masking tape. The tape tears easily by hand or scissors. It is very sticky and when stretched it doesn't stretch easily or at all. This is my first experience with gaffer tape so I'm not sure what to expect.I've used duct tape for many unlikely things but this tape I can see will work much better at holding things in place without leaving residue. It seems stronger than duct tape and is just as sticky but it seems easy to remove even from newspaper with minimum damage. In the past I used duct tape but it does leave too much residue and can stretch easily so this could be a good replacement for that.I decided to test the tape under some extreme conditions to see what would happen. Scotch tape, electrician tape, duct tape will all fail theses tests. I placed a section of tape in a bowl of water and wondered what effect it would have and was surprised that the tape when blotted dry with a paper towel on both sides still had the same stickiness and tensile strength. So it would appear it could be used outdoors too. My freezer test was less surprising ...it did not maintain its stickiness below zero. The tape once removed from the zero conditions returned to its original sticky state. So its use in winter like outdoor conditions maybe limited. The section of tape i used for testing still is sticky and usable.I'm unsure if the tape has a life expectancy like duct tape which deteriorates over time. Time will tell. Is this tape as good as some of the other premium tapes? I don't know the answer but in my limited use this tape seems to work for my purposes and seems like a very good value.

Great tape for positioning or retaining things.- Very reliable and consistant hold. Much better hold than painter's tape, and even better than most duct taped. The adhesive is more aggressive than most other gaffer's tapes.- No residue. Easily reposition on carpet, wood, metal, painted items, etc. (However, it will damage paper products and cardboard if you try to pull it off).- Heat resistant. The adhesive doesn't slip when exposed to the sun, unlike most duct taped I have used.

People complain that this tape is not like "real" gaffers tape... and they are right. For some aplications though, it might work better. I have used it to cover up blemishes or tears on motorcycle seats and it blends very well with the material (black leather). It's different, but I ended up liking it.

I have been using this tape for a while now. Its primary purpose is to temporarily secure equipment and cables to walls, floors, etc. The tape is strong, and I trust it to hold my tripod and camera in some precarious positions. The best part is that the tape comes off clean. I have not had to clean up any residue. And like another reviewer, I use it to cover the brand and model marking on my equipment. The 3 inch width tape is good for long cable runs across a floor where there will be foot traffic.

I tried this for Roller Derby track set up. This tape is really BRIGHT. I think the international space station could have seen our track set up. Because it comes in such long rolls, it makes setting up a little easier. It does rip with aggressive skating, so be ready to have a repair runner during the bout!

Decent Product - None of the current crop of Gaffer's tape seems to be as good as the days I worked in TV (30 years ago).You can't judge the overall quality until you've left it in place for a while to see if it leaves residue.

What can one say...it's gaffers tape. Holds things well, leaves no residue. I personally like the 1 in width as I use this on my cameras often. This width means I don;t have to split wider tape. Buy this tape. Use it with abandon. Worry not for residue.

Excelente precio para ser Polyken, el pegamento parece ser algo débil, pero es mejor tener dos tipos de cintas para no maltratar los pequeños dispositivos en los que se usa.
