Review on VViViD Dry Carbon Fibre Detailing Vinyl Wrap Tape 2 Inch X 20Ft Roll DIY (Gunmetal Grey) by Simon Connelly

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Useless vinyl wrapped tape

The glue or glue used is not as strong as other brands I have used. Will not stick to HDPE, LDPE and some other hard and plastic plastics. Surfaces have been cleaned of dust, dirt, debris, oils, solvents and moisture that could contaminate the surface and prevent bonding. I even tried sanding the surface with 800 grit sandpaper after cleaning and then cleaning again to remove sanding residue. This didn't work either. Duck tape, clear packing tape, and masking tape have the best adhesive properties, but lack the required strength and UV performance. I have not used or attempted to test steel, stainless steel, aluminum, wood, cardboard, or other ceramic materials, and have no intention of doing so. What should have taken an hour turned into nine and a half hours of frustration at the tape's wasted expense. So as far as I understand it's junk. I'd say it's bad for a painted painted surface like a painted part of a car body, but it's just not a practical application. In summary, I wouldn't advise anyone to buy a product for any project because it's useless as a band. He only gets one star because I have to give him one to post comments.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Gotchas
