Product Information

Full details

Shurtape T-Rex Duct Tape is designed for users who need an exceptionally strong and durable tape for demanding applications, especially outdoors. Its key benefit is superior holding power and longevity, even on rough surfaces. A potential caveat is its aggressive adhesion, which may require careful application and removal on delicate surfaces. This tape features co-extrusion technology for de-lamination resistance, an all-weather skin for superior performance, double the thickness of standard duct tapes for strength, and a thick, aggressive adhesive for challenging substrates. It also includes a UV-resistant layer for extended outdoor durability.

FAQs

Is T-Rex tape suitable for permanent repairs?

T-Rex tape is designed for strong, long-lasting bonds and is suitable for many permanent repair applications, especially outdoors. However, its removability can vary depending on the surface.

Can T-Rex tape be used on wet surfaces?

While T-Rex tape has an all-weather skin, for optimal adhesion, it is best applied to dry surfaces. If applying to a damp surface, ensure it is not actively wet and press firmly.

How does T-Rex tape compare to standard duct tape?

T-Rex tape is significantly thicker, stronger, and features a more aggressive adhesive and UV resistance, making it ideal for heavy-duty and outdoor applications where standard duct tape may fail.

Will the UV-resistant layer degrade over time?

The UV-resistant layer is integrated into the tape's skin to provide long-lasting durability. While it significantly extends the tape's lifespan in outdoor conditions, performance may eventually be affected by prolonged, extreme UV exposure.

Is T-Rex tape waterproof?

T-Rex tape provides a strong, durable seal and is resistant to moisture, making it suitable for many outdoor applications that may be exposed to water. However, it is not intended as a primary waterproofing membrane.

Can T-Rex tape be painted?

Painting directly over T-Rex tape is not recommended as the paint may not adhere well to the tape's surface. For aesthetic finishes, consider covering the taped area with a suitable material first.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking well

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, or moisture. Apply firm, consistent pressure when applying the tape.

Difficulty removing the tape without residue

Gently heat the tape with a hairdryer on a low setting, then peel slowly. For stubborn residue, a suitable adhesive remover can be used.

Tape seems to be losing adhesion outdoors over time

While T-Rex is UV resistant, extreme and prolonged exposure to harsh elements can eventually affect performance. Ensure the tape was applied to a clean surface and consider reapplication if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength and durability for heavy-duty tasks.
  • Superior adhesion on rough, dirty, and outdoor surfaces.
  • Long-lasting performance due to UV resistance and all-weather skin.
  • Resists de-lamination thanks to advanced co-extrusion technology.
  • Easy to tear by hand for convenient use.

Cons

  • Aggressive adhesive may be difficult to remove from certain surfaces without residue.
  • Double thickness might make it bulkier than standard tapes for some applications.
  • Not ideal for delicate materials where a less aggressive bond is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose debris for optimal adhesion.
  2. Apply the tape firmly, pressing down to eliminate air bubbles.
  3. For best results on rough surfaces, apply consistent pressure across the tape.

Compatibility:

T-Rex tape is designed to adhere to a wide range of surfaces including metal, plastic, wood, concrete, fabric, and painted surfaces. However, due to its aggressive nature, testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended before applying to delicate or painted surfaces that could be damaged upon removal.

Care:

Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its adhesive properties and UV resistance. Ensure the roll is kept clean and free from dust and contaminants.
