TAPEBEAR Butyl Tape Aluminum Waterproof Sealing Tape 4" x 16Feet

Works awesome. Super sticky and thick. Wish I got more for the price

I am a volunteer with my local Red Cross chapter. Recently I was charged with the maintenance of our storage container maintenance program. This consists of 20 foot conexes some of which are approaching 20 years in age. These containers had no maintenance during the pandemic. They were also as delivered so the exteriors were untouched. Of the original 27 conexes, 10 were immediately taken off our books. Another 5 were deemed to be too time-consuming to deal with. That left 12 for my team to address and weatherize. Our goal was to apply elastomeric paint to the roof of each conex. Surface preparation consisted of using an angle grinder to carefully remove rust, scale and corrosion along with a power drill with a wire brush attachment to smooth down areas of flaking. Exposed areas were then primed with Rust-Oleum primer before painting. In some cases the surface preparation made holes when corrosion was removed. We tried using duct tape to cover the small holes and them seat fiberglass mesh over that with Sealant and paint over the top with some success. For larger holes we used metal patches with sealant and sheet metal screws but these patches had mixed success. Finally, we hit upon using this product. For small holes we would seal them with 4" tape and paint over with the elastomeric product. Larger holes required a metal patch for structural support but we switched to using JB Weld to tack the sheet in place and seal it with either 4" or 8" tape as appropriate. We would also apply the tape to the ceiling underneath the compromised areas for redundancy to further protect the disaster supplies stored in these containers. The roof surface of a conex is not flat. It has raised ribs all along its surface. This tape is flexible enough to conform to pretty much any area that a hole may have been present. Once applied it is permanent, you can't remove it if the surface has been properly prepared. It takes the elastomeric paint wonderfully as well. While any butyl sealing tape could have been used this product was able to conform to the surface of each container. There were many instances where holes formed in dents or dimples where small pools of water ponded. This product could shape itself to fit those deformed areas whereas others could not. So far this system of repairs has had a 100% success rate. My team is now pushing to try and repair the containers that had been deemed "Beyond Economic Repair". We are convinced that our system of repair can bring these conexes back into service.

I found this tape very hard to use. The glue side of the tape was like some super putty. Once I finally got it in place, the party like substance came out of the side of the tape. It was very sticky, however, it actually did not work. so I ended up with a dog bowl that still leaves. However, when I said it down, it would stick to the floor or cement. Weird.

No problems

I love how WIDE this waterproof tape is! It covers a lot of area underneath my leaky aluminum RV roof and does an excellent job keeping the rain out. At least I haven't seen any problems with it yet thankfully. Enjoy!

I was very impressed with this butyl tape. It has an incredibly strong adhesive and bonded securely as soon as I applied it. It sticks extremely well and creates a solid, waterproof seal. The aluminum backing is durable, and it was easy to work with. I used it for an outdoor repair, and it gave me confidence that it will hold up over time. I would definitely purchase it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a strong, reliable sealing tape.

Great stuff

Not useful. It’s not even sticky. Leakage is still a problem and nothing solved. I don’t recommend for anyone to use it.

Blocca tutto, attenzione però, dovete conservarlo in un luogo molto fresco alternativamente si scioglie un po’ il collante

waterproof membrane worked perfectly for sealing corners in my shower and tile project. It was easy to cut, position, and embed into the waterproofing system, creating a strong and reliable seal where leaks are most likely to occur. The material is durable, flexible, and conforms well to inside and outside corners. It gave me confidence that the installation will remain watertight for years to come. A must-have product for anyone doing bathroom renovations, shower installations, or tile work. Highly recommended for both DIYers and professionals.
