There's not a lot of Teflon tape, so this rating gets minimal, but here's the important info: Unlike some Teflon tapes, they will tear or tear into threads, even if they do with their hands - that's what most people do, right? The consistency is silky and sticks well. It seems to require a few more coats than the teflon tape I have. used, but I don't know if it's a thinner variety or if it was just an application (preparing 1/4" fasteners for a reverse osmosis system). I believe the info in Revain gives both the thickness and the Adjusted the length and width of the reel so it's not a mistake just something I noticed Overall it works well and I won't have a problem with it now that I know I'm wrapping five or six turns around the strands must instead of three.
