Save your money and buy 3M instead

I made a dreadful mistake by trying to save a few bucks by purchasing this tape. My intent was to use it inside my greenhouse to secure the loose ends of the plastic sheeting covering my greenhouse. I had used most of my roll of 3M duct tape and decided to save a few dollars by purchasing this product. First of all it was a nightmare to tear from the roll. It’s prone to splitting into strips and then sticking to itself while you are trying to tear a piece from the roll. I lost count of how many pieces I had to throw away due to this problem. Secondly, the tape seemed to adhere nicely when I first placed it where needed. However, by the second day there were some areas that it pulled loose. Within a week, more than half of it was pulled loose and dangling. It has now been less than 3 weeks and most of this tape is dangling while the 3M tape I previously used in other parts of my greenhouse are holding tight! Save your money and buy the 3M! It’s not worth the headache to use sub-par products in hopes of saving a few dollars. Lesson learned

Pros
  • Can hold up in harsh weather conditions without losing its grip
Cons
  • Might not provide a tight seal for certain types of packaging

I have attempted to use this product a couple of times, and I can find it to be flimsy, and of extremely poor quality. I would never waste my money again on that particular product. The sticking quality is poor and the tape is thinTotal waste of money
