Polyken 824 Shrink Wrap Tape can be used for short-term temporary taping edges of shrink wrap to a boat's hull (please always test first with your specific paint or varnish). For longer term marine storage please look at preservation tape such as Patco 5400. Also used by auto salvage and reclamation yards. It has a polyethylene film and rubber based adhesive. UV protected for prolonged expose to sunlight (has excellent durability & is solvent and moisture resistance). Polyken 824 Red Baron is coated with a specially-designed adhesive which eliminates residue even after extended periods of exposure (also repositionable). It is also conformable so it adheres to rough surfaces and is also easy to unwind. Shrink Wrap Tape is used to seam shrink wrap film sheeting together; patch holes in shrink wrap; secure waste disposal bags; and to hold doors in place. It is also used for stucco & plaster masking and other outdoor masking applications where UV resistance is required. Our distributor gets this made specially from Berry Plastics in white with serrated/pinked edges for easy tearing - no cutting is needed. Made in the U.S. NOTES: Sizes shipped will typically be the tape industry standard metric-cut sizes, i.e. 24mm for each 1 inch of nominal tape width ordered (rolls are approximately 5% narrower than the nominal size). This product's actual size is 96mm x 55m. As with any adhesive tape product it is always the user's responsibility to determine that the product is suitable for their intended use; e.g. if you want to remove a product cleanly from a specific type of substrate please test on an inconspicuous area first.
