Full details

This KwikGrip Heavy Duty Double Sided Tape from B&Q is designed for users needing a strong, reliable adhesive for demanding applications, particularly floor coverings. Its key benefit is a powerful bond thanks to its thick cloth membrane and aggressive rubber resin adhesive. A potential consideration is its heavy-duty nature, which may make removal difficult without causing surface damage.

FAQs

What is the primary use for this tape?

This tape is primarily designed for fixing floor coverings such as carpets and vinyl to subfloors due to its heavy-duty strength and aggressive adhesive.

Can this tape be used on painted walls?

It is not recommended for use on painted walls as the aggressive adhesive may damage the paintwork or wallpaper upon removal.

How long will the bond last?

The tape provides a strong, long-term bond. Its longevity depends on the application, surface preparation, and the weight or stress applied.

Is this tape waterproof?

The product description does not specify waterproof capabilities. It is designed for strong adhesion and is generally suitable for indoor applications.

What surfaces are recommended for this tape?

Recommended surfaces include wood, concrete, vinyl, carpet backing, and some plastics where a permanent, strong bond is required.

How should I store the tape?

Store the tape in its original high-impact display box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Can I reposition the tape after applying it?

No, this is a heavy-duty, double-sided tape designed for permanent fixing. Repositioning is not recommended as it may weaken the adhesive and damage surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Tape not sticking well

Ensure surfaces are perfectly clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Verify that the protective backing has been fully removed and that the tape is pressed firmly onto both surfaces.

Difficulty removing the tape

Due to its heavy-duty nature, removal can be challenging. For hard surfaces, try gently heating the tape with a hairdryer to soften the adhesive, then carefully pry it away. For softer surfaces, test a small, inconspicuous area first to avoid damage. Consider using a solvent specifically designed for adhesive removal, following its instructions carefully.

Tape tears during application

Apply steady, even pressure when pressing the tape down. Ensure the surface is smooth. If the tape is resisting, do not force it; re-evaluate the surface condition or application method.
