Can anyone tell me if this clear mounting tape also provides an air and water tight seal? The description does not say, so i assume it is not.

it is a clear "tape" and i think it should be good for air and water but after the surfaces are already bonded. not sure as how good it is ageist water but i am sure it will hold after it has cured.

I have used this tape in an automotive application. The adhesive is very sticky. My opinion would be that gravity would hold the tape in position and any water creeping between the tape would dry during a heat cycle before it could loosen the adhesive. Applied over properly prepped plastic, it wouldn't let any water in between anyway. My only problem was the aluminum separating from the adhesive-imbedded fiberglass.

I agree with the other responses in that it will not create a seal. However it works great to prevent boil-over.

from my perspective yes. Haven't had any issues, however, it's not an air tight seal. They have these cans at Bed Bath Beyond. I went to my local Bed Bath Beyond to see it in person before ordering from Amazon. You might be able to get it cheaper with a Bed Bath Beyond coupon. Brick and Motor stores have turned into Window shopping for me. After looking at the product in person, start scouring the internet for best deal.

No, it is a wet application. It works better than the dry application in my opinion, just be aware of the concerns I stated in my review.

yes, because you always want to make sure the seal is tight. Go around only once (stretch the tape around) Very simple and I had no problems.

The disclaimer from the company states that it may afffect the dust seal. However when I installed it it didn't seam to affect the seal at all, but I didn't test that theroy out ether.

I don't know because I used Sno-Seal to protect the saddlebags on my motorcycle. I can attest to the fact that this is an excellent water sealant.

No, it does not. I used thin double-sided sticky tape that you get when you buy plastic window insulation. There are several how-to videos out there that explain where you can buy other tape. My phone works fine but it certainly isn't as good as the factory seal.

It's tape. It's not permanent. It is an aid in dealing with air leaks-whether cold or hot in situations in which it may not be practical or affordable to structurally fix the opening. Eventually all tape will "weather" and you may have to peel or scrape it off.

Just a thin straight line, maybe 1mm wide, up to 2 depending on the pressure you apply. In my experience it's been airtight for positive and negative (vacuum) pressures. The seal is very clean looking, and can be repeated one after another if a wider seal is desired (just tried this). It's got an adjustable timer too so you can seal different thickness plastics with ease.

Not really because its tape if you are looking for a "marine grade connector" that is different. there is a bit of glue inside of those that melts to give a waterproof seal. This is more for connecting loose wires for example in a car / cars wire harness. That said, if you were looking for a water resistant seal, if applied properly, I don't see how water would get in once heat was applied and it shrunk

No, no recommended. It's like any adhesive. If you break the seal, intentional or not, it will not hold.

Well the specs do call for water sealing, however, I find teflon tape is a better way to go unless the threads have been cross threaded. Good luck.

No. This does NOT seal anything! It only fits in the metal trim pieces normally around the edges of the trailer and various seams to hide the screws that hold the trim down. Many trailers use Butyl Tape between the window and the outside surface of the wall. It can be found at RV stores, on Amazon and sometimes hardware stores.

It has a good seal to it.it ziplocs and rolls over and 2 snap clips but i still have not got a chance to use it in a wet condition because i am in a drought zone. I would think the seal is adequate.just make sure you squeeze the ziploc seal with a good pinch.the logo they show has it being submerged in h2o so it must work.

I have used Kool Seal over the past six years on my flat metal roofs and have been very pleased with it's performance. It has lived up to every claim and my roofs have been leak free since I started using it. I recommend it without reservation. I hope this helps.
