Product Information

It takes a bit of experience to produce a smooth bead of caulk, so start caulking in an inconspicuous location. Tape designed to stop leaks needs to be able to create a tight, waterproof bond with the metal, wood, or plastic surface to prevent running water from seeping in and gradually peeling away the tape. It has a heavy-duty backing and a strong adhesive that can be applied to metal, wood, or plastic surfaces.

Once the user peels away the thin layer of plastic protecting the adhesive side, the adhesive forms a watertight bond that instantly stops leaks in sprinkler systems, pools, and water pipes, preventing flooding and extensive water damage. Cloth generally refers to a cotton tape backing that is durable when applied but also easy to tear from the roll. The Starrey Flexible Reflective waterproof tape is made with durable and highly reflective polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is about 10 times brighter than standard PVC reflective backing. Once the waterproof tape adheres to the surface it will seal out both water and air to prevent flooding, water damage, and water hammer. Waterproof tape with neutral colors is great for home design, as it can fade into the background instead of drawing attention to the repair.

On average, a waterproof tape can remain effective for up to 5 years before the adhesive begins to break down, though factors like extreme temperature changes, physical stress, and exposure to direct sunlight can reduce this length of effectiveness. However, once this tape is in place, it can be difficult to remove without leaving a sticky residue behind. Apply the included double-sided tape all around the window casing, then carefully apply the plastic to the tape.
