Is this cotton backed, waterproof tape. If not what would recommend?

It is cotton backed and waterproof. Its bascisally the standard "athletic tape" you would purchase for pole vault poles, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks, etc.

No, I do not believe it is cotton backed, it is very thin but very tough!It is very tough to tear in half!It does stick very well to flesh if applied when dry!I use it to wrap my fingers when playing golf, it stays on for four hours without a problem!

It's water proof around on the vinyl but the zipper on the end isn't (like in a flood water would seep through). I bought it because of my toddler having bed wetting issues and it has worked great for that. I live in a dry climate and would totally use it for a cover to protect the mattress if in storage.

Yea the backing is like a terry cloth. The front is soft cotton. They don't have the plastic fabric on the back. My daughter is a constant drooled right now and very rarely does her shirt get wet. There has to be a major saturation for that to happen. Not bad at all for the price. They work great.

It is waterproof, but we use a thick organic cotton cover under the sheet more for comfort than anything else.

I would think so. It is great quality and we use this tape to prevent bandages from moving water proof bandages. Good choice.

I do not see where it says "waterproof" it is water resistant however. I hope this helps.

No it's not. It's zippered but 100% cotton can't be water and fluid resistant. I really like these best. I have one for our mattress and box spring as well as the bed in our guest room. It is far better than the ones we had before. We have lifted the box spring and mattress twice now to spray under the bed (keeping things under control) and it is still intact. I see another poster put that it ripped easily.....we haven't had that problem at all.

I've been caught in the rain with this and have seen no problems. It's a very durable tape.

I really don't know. The packaging states not for underwater use..maybe a shower can be considered occasional and might work. This tape is great.

The permanent and removable glues probably won't stand up to water drenched bottles. They do sell permanent glue backing but doubt that is waterproof.

No, not the tape I purchased. It's a continuous roll with a peel off paper backing. It sticks better than any other tape I have ever used.

I agree with Bud. It probably wouldn't stick to the cotton at all but if it did, it wouldn't stick for long. The tape is best for non-porous surfaces, and the wider the surface area the better.

I have secured gauze to my satisfaction, but be aware that the tape is waterproof and does not breath like most tapes do. But it is a very flexible and soft tape so it would be great for joints. This tape does not leave a sticky residue like some do after several days.

I haven't used it for waterproofing but I just tested it out and it does appear to be. I put the fabric underneath my faucet and the water slipped right off and whatever stayed on easily wiped off. I also noticed that the water did not soak into the fabric.

is not waterproof but can be used for marine use. I would recommend rescue tape to cover connection

We used both adhesive and duct tape. We did not want any air pockets or bumps behind the liner. I believe the adhesive tells you how many cans you need for the surface you are covering. Adhesive is waterproof the duct tape is not. If for some reason the duct tape got wet it would not be easy to replace.

I use the regular tapes on mason jars in my freezer and they hold up to the moisture and dampness. Sorry, I don't know about being totally waterproof.
