Purchased this for use for flat metal areas on a hitch mount bicycle rack. It seems to work satisfactorily for this application. However, I went to use it on the carbon fiber blades of my kayak wing paddle, and despite surface prep with alcohol and acetone, the tape lifts immediately. Contact with water only speeds this process, unlike other name brand reflective tapes I’ve used. The adhesive is poor, and the stiffness of the white prismatic backing does not allow it to conform well to even…

Difficulty getting it to stay on various surfaces. Even some clean, dry metal. Often found it on the ground the next day. Used some glue when attaching to keep it in place.

You have seen this stuff countless times without realizing it. Look at just about any truck or commercial vehicle, especially from the rear. You will very likely see, if you bother to notice, some red and white reflective tape pasted on various strategic locations. Well, this is it. If you want to make your flatbed trailer, or your teenager's "learning vehicle", or whatever, more visible, this is a well established solution.Me? I bought it because I was having a problem with some equipment in…

Good adhesion at temps over 50 degrees. I used a hair dryer to heat the plastic material I was sticking the tape to and it greatly improved the adhesion. Now it is back down to 25 degrees and sticks fine. Great reflective material easy to work with. I used alcohol to clean surface to be covered. You must remove all chemical coating that makes the surface slick or shinny before applying this tape.

I bought this thinking I could wrap it around my fishing pole tip so I could see it better at night but the tape is thicker and more rigid than I thought. 4 stars since I didn't think it's sticky enough. I will update this review when I find any use for the tape.
