How does this compare to Rescue Tape? Hoping someone might know.

I like Duck brand only because of the availability to me locally, had to purchase a roll from amazon because my local supply store was out and I like to keep a fresh roll if and whenever I have to open another. Apples to apples, they work about the same.

Unfortunately I can't say I've used Rescue Tape but have used a few other brands of silicone tape and this is the best IMO. It has strength and great fusion. I use it in most places that electrical tape would be used but love to use it on motorcycle applications since it is waterproof.

The 3M Interior Transparent Weather Sealing Tape is indeed heavier than clear packing tape but also more of a flexible, "vinyl" kind of material. Packing tape will not conform to the transitions between glass and frame as well and I believe if left exposed to constant temperature changes, humidity and direct sunlight it would dry and become brittle, much the same as it does on cardboard boxes after lengthy periods. The 3M tape I applied to a bedroom window in April 2012 is still doing the job of sealing air leaks as well today, as when first applied. I just don't think clear packing tape would have lasted this long. As another posted replied, this tape is also nearly invisible once applied.

My anser is NO. I have made (2) 3000 mile trips and had tears develop both trips. Gorilla Tape helped some but on both trips we put everything in large type Ziploc bags just in case and worked out well. I do feel I have received my money's worth from the carrier but the answer again relative to your to your waterproof query is no.

I liked this tape because it is a thicker tape (higher mil) than most packaging tapes. I have package both light and heavy boxes with this tape and have not seemed to have a problem.

They are both tape but that is where the similarity ends. Packing tape is porous, this is not. This is also made to bond to glass and harder materials like plastic to resist weather and air. From my experience, packing tape is also thinner, snaps and cracks easier (particularly due to the effects of the elements). Packing tape is made for boxes and isn't engineered for this type of use. Important for me, this makes a solid curve while still being able to stick to sliding glass doors. Due to it being slightly thicker it's easier to work with, does the job and is actually easier to remove also.

My experience with spectra vs cable is mostly with larger winches on commercial fishing boats. I ordered spectra with my winch and i'm happy with it. I think you'll find that the spectra is much more user friendly with a higher cost. it's much cleaner, doesn't get frayed and sharp like cable. Use chaffing protection for high use spots, like at the hook connection and the fair lead when using a plow. small tubular webbing works well. I ordered a superwinch and the spectra seemed fine, but I had to return it because it didn't fit my atv, so I ended up with a 2500 lb warn with smaller spectra. It works well. Both came with chaffing protection I believe. good luck My experience with spectra vs cable is mostly with larger winches on commercial fishing boats.

No it's actually really good bar tape. I've had my bar tape for over 3 months now and it's still holding up great!

It is good tape, certainly stronger than duck or packing tape, but it is not nearly the fabulous tape that the marketing portrays. Yes, it leaves a residue... it is designed to "mesh" with what every material it sticks to, but a little "goo-gone" and the residue comes off

I do not know the exact answer, but my experience as a videographer tells me, that most likely there is no difference. The most significant step up would be Sony DVM 63HD tapes that are of a really higher quality, and can record in two formats. The are also very expensive.

When you start use the tension and friction of the initial end of the tape from slipping and when you finish use tape to hold the final end. I just used a couple of wraps of appropriately colored electrical tape around the end to hold it in place and it's worked quite well. Also, when wrapping keep the tape quite tight, the extra friction keeps the tape in place better.

Not recommended. If you're repairing insulation that's worn or cracked, use electrical tape, not gaff tape. If you need tape to organize multiple cables, either duct tape or electrical tape would be better than gaff tape -- the adhesive on gaff tape isn't very strong and doesn't last long. It's designed for temporary use, not long-term applications. (Kinda like painter's tape.)

This is a roll of pressure sealing tape good for EDPM and Vinly roofs. It is sold in rolls of various widths. this 6 inch wide one is great for where the roof meets the fromt fiberglass or rear fiberglass caps. you need about ten feet for each, so some is legt over for other repairs. I use the 4 inch wide for extra insurance covering over dicor'd-over screw penetrations, but 6 will do. I recommend the heavy metal rounded roller to help in the install as this tape adheres with pressure not just touch/heat/time. It is true white so matches vinyl well, and cooler than the similar grey tape from Dicor. This is a roll of pressure sealing tape good for EDPM and Vinly roofs.

I'm not positive what goes into the science behind it, but the adhesive strength of book tape far outstrips most utility tapes. The fact that it's a more cloth-like material makes it ideal for patching hinged things, like a book. I use it for grip tape, often enough, and basically just have a small reserve on hand for crafts projects where the tape is going to need to be really strong. Masking tape is a paperlike material, it tears. Vinyl tape - i think that's electrical tape, right? - is going to stretch and tear, too. This will be like heavy-duty glueing a very thin layer of blue-jeans over something.

this "gold" 908 ATG double sided tape is acid free. So if you are using it in with paper or where you don't want it to discolor later on you should use this one. If it doesn't matter then you can use the less expensive "red" 924 rolls.

It is a bit thicker than tape and works best when the tear is not in a hard to reach seam
