T-REX Heavy Duty Waterproof and Repair Tape for Wet or Rough / Dirty Surfaces Including Underwater, Leaks and More, 2" x 5', Black, 1-Roll (285988)

I used this tape to put my doorbell camera on my door. I have experienced multiple times someone has tried to take it down but, my trusty T-rex tape stops them every time. Just because it works that well. The hold and stickiness of the tape makes it hard to pull off and the thieves don't have too much time to waste. It's a great value for the money so much, I've ordered it about 5 times since the first. I wish they came in bigger rolls so I wouldn't run out of it so quickly.

This tape has a very heavy and strong outer layer of plastic material, that has some of the strongest adhesive that I have experienced. The outer layer appears to be be very water resistant and should make an excellent water proofing or water leakage repair material. Examining the outer plastic body of the tape leads me to believe it will resist sun-related deterioration for an extended period of time. After applying the tape to a smooth surface, like PVC pipe, you will find it bonds so tightly that it is very difficult to remove, at least after setting up for a day or two. For an easy to use, water proof material designed to prevent water penetration or water leaks, this tape would be hard to beat. It would also be suitable to join smooth surfaced materials together, as this a very tough binding agent.

Does stick but seems to not hold up well with condensation. I’m using this to hold a fish tank light in place ( it’s light weight). I do have to replace every few weeks because it comes loose.Regardless, better than anything else I’ve found!

This stuff works amazing for my particular application. I have an air mattress and it got a few holes in it. I took a freshly sharpened pocket-knife and removed all the fuzz around each hole till it was shiny (meaning carefully rubbed the blade *very gently* against the mattress at a 45°angle to remove the vinyl fuzz till it looked like the bottom of the airmattress just shiny)[I did this while it was already inflated so that I could properly apply a small amount of pressure so that I did not damage it more/or make the hole bigger]. *Tip* be sure to make sure that you also make sure that you carefully get the entire area where the patch will be applied. I cleaned the area thoroughly with a huggies sensitive care baby wipe. While it was still slightly damp I cut an appropriately sized patch (follow the directions on the package). I made sure to press on the patch starting at the center and rubbing it firmly in place ensuring there were no veins and bubbles. I have never had any of the patches I put in place leak EVER. I swear by this stuff the key is to use it properly. There was like 5-7 steps but each step is to ensure you prime the area properly and you will never have to check it or re-apply it my husband has even spilled soda and such on these patches and not a single patch has ever given me an issue. Ps if you had the proper sandpaper gradients you would not need to use a sharp knife I just didn't have it on hand. These patches will even survive the roughest of love-making without an issue 🤗 lol. If your patch comes off you did one of two things 1 you did not remove enough fuzz or 2 you did not clean the area well enough after fuzz removal. Good luck and use it properly. If applied improperly it will NOT work.

I used a whole role of it taping up some outdoor gear, well it didnt see ANY ACTION, 2 weeks later it peeled off leaving the thick layer of glue there as a decoration and leaving goop everywhere it touches. Seriously TREX ? This product is a fail before it even had any water touch it. Spent 11 dollars on 6ft, and the tape wont last 2 weeks sitting in a box? ..... I expected more.

stuff works but difficult to use. expensive

It works great

I purchased this to keep on hand for when a waterproof tape is needed. I have not used this brand before but based on the reviews and quality of materials. I am sure it will do great.
