- It's glossy and very prone to uneven reflections, so not thin at all. sticky so you can't even wrap it around anything. I was going to use it as a protective tape on the outside surfaces of my bike's frame and fork, but it won't stick to anything. Otherwise I was hoping to use it as a wrap to hold the wires. This didn't work either. Don't think of it as duct tape, more like a long strip of plastic. Might be useful for a pad, although probably not stiff enough to take any noticeable pressure load. So in general it's not clear how this can be useful.
