carlyai Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 A while ago @sometimeswoodworker posted about roof repair tape. Don't know where I've stored the reference. As I can't contact you, can you share the tape info again so I can get some. My new knee can now climb onto roofs (hopefully get down to). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 The flashing tape , type of rubber with sticky backing ,does not seem to last that long, maybe 3 years if in full sun , I have a problem now , the wife is refusing to go up n the roof again , says she gets dizzy ,I don't have a head for heights , so I am not going up , will have to look for a agile Somchai you will find the tape in most big hardware stores. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimewoodworker Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 This is another version of a wider roll, you can cut it into smaller sections. It has a wide range of uses and should often be used with the aluminium quickfix tape often used in aircraft maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That very much depends on where it’s being used as to if it is more effective, as to lasting longer that is not correct as the bitumen tape has lasted for decades with no deterioration, while paint is only good for a few years. And yes I have used both. Edited July 7, 2023 by sometimewoodworker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some Al tape (old tape), no sides are sticky, is that correct or is the tape just too old? Sorry for late reply, got waylaid by SWMBO for the utmost important thing.
