"This stuff is almost magic. I will be using this stuff for as long as I glue things from now on."
"I wished I had found this earlier in my life, I love super glue but hate how it wont bond instantly and usually gets on your fingers while trying to hold it still, this stuff spray on the part you are going to glue to, put the super glue on the other part, contact in together and within 8-10 seconds in bonded tight and dry, wow love the stuff."

"I was in a hurry and ordered this brand rather than the other USA made brand I typically get, since The Gaffer Power tape seemed like a deal and had great reviews."
"I am not in the entertainment industry but use your tape in my workshop for a variety of jobs and and have even found it excellent for attaching sandblast stencils onto custom items which I make. If the tape will withstand 100 psi of pressurized air loaded with silicon carbide grit, it is really tough stuff."
"One of our helpers just pulled the cable up and the tape curled around and stuck to itself. First purchase worked so well that we decided to keep an additional supply on hand for our next production."
"We have dozens of different types of tape in several locations around our home. If you are used to 3 rolls for $1 department store tape, Gaffer tape might surprise you."
"Having fought duct tape for years (I maintain one of the strongest bonds in the universe is duct tape stuck to itself) I had no issues using this to secure my cables at an event over the weekend."

"We've been using this epoxy resin to finish an outdoor coffee table and and a bathroom countertop. We are going to do our biggest project next and do our kitchen counters."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Knowing that the roof on the RV would eventually leak because man was created foolish enough to forget to put a cover on his RV in the hot sun, God created EternaBond Roof Seal tape. Do you want to seal the fine cracks in the EDPM roof rubber on your RV - FOREVER? You cut it to length, peel the clear backing off and firmly press it onto the roof of your coach. It will probably outlast the roof around it until you are left with no rubber roof save for the parts you stuck this onto. My plan is to slowly cover every inch of the roof on my 34' Bounder over the next few years until it is completely covered. Seriously - if these guys made a peel-and-stick roof covering in one piece I'd use it, except for the fact that I fear I would be in real danger of becoming stuck to it during installation, leaving myself helpless on the roof of my RV like a wayward mosquito caught in the web of a black widow, or a criminal caught in that spider-individual's web of justice, resigned to my fate of imobility. Fifty feet of this stuff is a lot, but at the same time you might be surprised how many little cracks and stuff you have up there, plus it is good to have some on hand in case of future leaks, or the sudden need reattach an arm after a bazaar kayaking accident."
"I bought it to anchor the new flexible, thin solar panels I purchased to the roof of my travel trailer."
"The guy in the Eternabond video uses his fingers to apply pressure (not the roller) and he uses a utility knife to cut the tape. Something else about the utility knife is important which is that it can be used to easily lance any air bubbles or "tents" that occur has you apply the Eternabond. The Eternabond website says to use a pin to pop air bubbles and describes the procedure for what to do for "tenting" and I found that also very helpful. As it shows that where it tents or bubbles, the important thing is only to lance it and smooth it over and apply another layer if necessary or to make it prettier. I am totally new to this and could be doing it wrong so I'm just going to get to the pictures ... First I noticed the trouble spot by the back rear where the caulking was breaking down and this looked like an area where it was possible for water to pool. When I applied the eternabond tape, I pretty much put it above where I wanted it (with back peeled off) and let it kind of fall into place by gravity as I guided it laying it as flat as possible. then when it was flat, I went about applying pressure from the middle out and working out all the tents and air bubbles and I pressed on the sealant. I used: pair of nice, sharp scissors to cut the tape (clean scissors as necessary with acetone if they get gunked). utility knife (clean with acetone if it gets gunked). acetone as described above. dishsoap as described above. my fingers to press down to ensure surface adherence (not the roller). On purpose here I did not use the tape over the black rubber or the gutter because both are in good condition with no breaches so I wanted to leave them as-is."

Supposedly, you can also use it on your car windows in lieu of Rain-X to water and snow proof your windows, as well as to waterproof your shoes (and give leather a healthy shine), remove stains from carpet and your fridge, and remove oil stains from your garage or driveway concrete."
