Duct Tape Review
Screwfix 14470 unbranded was criticised for inadequate strength and for the backing fabric being weaker than the adhesive, both of which caused it to break up during application and removal. It also failed in one wet application, though was fine in another.
Duck brand cloth 'power' tape, Screwfix 24428 and 84740, 'was excellent, sticky and easy to peel off at the end of the day.' It claims to be waterproof. It comes in black, white, orange (58451) and grey (aka 'silver').
Carpet tape (double sided fibre reinforced) was recommended.
TLC Gaffa tape was recommended as very sticky.
Self-amalgamating tape was recommended as better for apps where the tape needs to stick to itself, but no use for when the tape has to stick to other things instead.
