Stick With It
You ever heard someone say something along the lines of, “That thing looks as though it’s held together with tape and paperclips”?
Usually, it means the thing in question is really flimsy and on the verge of totally falling apart. But what if the tape was this tape? Then whatever it is might not be too flimsy at all! Because this tape? It’s very strong!
(Though, to be clear, we cannot speak to the tenacity of the paperclips.)
Look, this stuff isn’t like the packing tape we sold a little while ago. It’s not for sealing boxes. Unless the box in question is a glass box full of fish and water, and you need to plug a leak that threatens to eradicate an entire community of guppies.
But also: it is sorta like the packing tape we sold a little while ago. As in: you pretty much need to buy it, because if you don’t, and then you find yourself in a situation requiring an extremely sturdy adhesive tape, you’ll be so pissed at yourself for passing on this sale.
And just to be clear, all this talk about its strength isn’t an exaggeration. This stuff sticks hard and it sticks strong.
It can fix the cracked plastic undertray of a Mazda Miata. Or hold up bathroom shelves. Or patch a leaky air mattress. Or hose. Or tub. Hell, you can seal a greenhouse with it.
Seriously, just go to Amazon and scroll through some of the reviews. This tape can do just about anything. And while you’re there, compare their price–$20 for 15 feet of tape–to ours–$15 for 30 feet of tape. Not bad, eh?
Buy the tape, okay? And if you never use it, that’s fine. It just means you didn’t break anything important.
