Review on 🚧 2 Inch by 36 Inch 3M Scotchlite Reflective Tape by Adam Bates

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to pull on curved parts/surfaces

I put this reflective tape on to improve the bike's visibility at night. I've used this tape before on bikes in silver, blue and black (reflected white) and really liked it. As can be seen in the photo, the silver band goes well with the bike's silver metallic paintwork and reflects well when the camera's flash is used (the actual color of the reflection is white, but the flash picks it up as a glare). yellowing). I know some other reviews mention that the band doesn't stretch well, but that wasn't my experience at all. I was able to stretch a perfectly smooth applique over a very curved surface. In this case, I started from the front, stretched and smoothed so the tape was snug against the surface of the part. Just be aware that if you stretch or pull up on the tape after it has been applied, dark lines may appear. or marks in the reflective layer that are visible when you shine the light. Just go slow and make sure the tape doesn't get stuck when it's down.
