I wanted to glue electric wires to surface of my driveway. There will be snow/water over the top of this ducttape. Can I use this duct tape for this?

I do not think it would work as well as Gorilla brand myself. I used this on an awning to repair some spots that were near tears and it did not stick very well. I went with a Gorilla brand that stuck very well. I assume your application is for short term only though for the holidays? This might work for that if dry when applying.

I do believe it can be used for that purpose. I use this tape on my vehicle for a different purpose. I had a leaky seal on my windshield at the top and this tape really blends in and is watertight. If the tape is on for too long, there is only a trace amount of adhesive left behind which is easily removed with windex or alcohol. A light touch with a nice fresh razor blade and you'll never know the chrome was there. Hope this helps. :D

Yes, it sticks to any thing very well. I put mine over snow seal roofing.Hope this helps

Adhesive makes it very simple. It sprays on. I did 16x37 with 2 1/2 cans. 2 should do it for you. Can't imagine trying to use duct tape.

All I did was wrap it around the pipe and double insulated it with M-D Building Products 2378 Foil Backed Pipe Wrap and M-D Building Products 4929 3-inches-by-25-Feet Fiberglass Pipe Wrap I bought here at the time I got this tape. I also used a Farm Innovators Cord Connect Water-Tight Cord Lock for the electrical extension and it's already been tested to -13 below 0 and it's worked without having to let the water trickle all night and no pipe freeze ups.

In my review, I stated that I would not recommend using gorilla tape as a substitute for electrical tape. Especially on an outdoor project. I used it on the electrical wires on a trailer. When the tape got hot it came undone. It left a sticky ness that was hard to clean up.

I don't believe this type of tape would work for your project. This is more like masking tape--not duct tape. I would try some of the Duck Tape brand tapes. They come in different colors and designs. (Unless you just need a design for show and not for walking on)

If the surface is clean it will work well. I used this on a tent surface (not nylon, but military style tent) that was dirty, it held for a while but comes off every now and then, so I re-stick it, and it seems to hold for a week or so again. This is the best Duct style tape I have found though, so I would recommend it.

I wouldn't. The best tape for that is electrical. This tape is cloth based fibers.

If you want to use insulation only...I don't think it will keep it from freezing. If you wrap it with Heat Tape and insulation...yes, it will keep it from freezing. Heat tape works great on jobs like that.

I have only used it on my sculptures, that remain inside. But given the type of tape that it is, I would think it could come off easily outside due to the weather--rain and wind especially

If I were you, I would remove the duct tape and use just the interior transparent weather tape. The adhesive is comparable to duct tape, but the density of the weatherization tape is less permeable than duct tape and is going to do a better job keeping drafts of heat out. You may want to purchase a wide version of the 3m interior tape. I bought the 1inch so I could fit it at 90 degree angles at my windows edges and around a few drafty outlets.....

Duct tape is not actually for ducts. There is a 1998 Lawrence Berkeley National Lab report that documented the poor performance of "duct" or "duck" tape on actual HVAC duct work. Foil tape or mastic are for ducts, duct tape is for crafts and holding body parts together in emergencies.Gaffers tape is commonly used in situations where clean removal is a requirement. Gaffers are people who do set construction and electrical work on film/theater sets.

Yes - mine is used to warm the outside pipes of my Ranai water heater. I then wrapped with insulation and tape. It has worked well this Winter.

Yes you can but make sure you scrape/wipe any frost off and then dry the container off before applying the tape

Not really. The tape bonds to itself so by pulling it tight you can use it to seal a hole in a pipe or wrap a hose. It isn't an adhesive tape per se.

Hi I've always had good luck with duct tape, just make sure it is stuck well along the crack so it doesn't leak when the epoxy heats up/kicks. Are you using a filler or just straight liquid epoxy? You probably already know this, but it's best to thicken it with one of the thickening agents, like colloidal silica. Cheers Brian
