Review on Waterproof Self-Adhesive Reflective Conspicuity Tape for Enhanced Visibility by Dennis Reed

I purchased this tape to add color to reflective fiberglass poles. I cut out sections to wrap around the post but they didn't hold. This reflective tape is quite thick so it appears to be a combination of lack of adhesion and thickness preventing it from staying around the counter. When I tried overlapping the tape I found that it wouldn't stick to itself properly. Cutting short pieces just to wrap and rejoin the ends caused the ends to unravel on their own. I can't comment on how well this tape works flat, but adhesion as measured by "tackiness to touch" is more like old tape - just without any kinking. Finally, the reflectivity appears to be much lower than the white reflective areas already at the poles. This tape can stick to a flat, non-porous surface, but if I can't figure out how to make it stick, it's useless to me. The seller had to inform potential buyers that this tape had little to no flex and could not be used on small radius curved surfaces. They sell the same manufactured product with similar poor specs, I tried to get it working. Coming up with the idea of cutting 2 squares and putting them face to face with a stick in the middle didn't work. Even with both "sticky" sides, they went their separate ways. Then after I figured out a way to decrease the radius by putting "pool noodles" on top of a 1 1/2" piece of styrofoam, it didn't work. The tape has peeled off. .I got the 3-inch -Tried pool noodles as they have a larger radius. It was peeling off. Other substrates: peeled off! I'm open to any advice on a glue that works! I now think that reflective tape is rubbish! Downgraded it to one star, which mine I think it's ok as it has modest reflectivity Absolutely not recommended!
