FiberFix 10X Tape - Repair Tape 100x Stronger than Duct Tape - 2" (1 Roll)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Good strong tape. My son used it to patch a kid's inner tube with a hole. It held up. Every now and then you need really strong duct-type tape.

It’s insanely strong tape. Like nobody *needs* tape this strong. Duck-tape is masking-tape by comparison. But it is, really, really cool stuff.

The important thing to know is that this is NOT the "100X" Fiberfix which you may have seen performing amazing feats. That's the stuff which you soak before using, and then cures hard to form a structurally rigid repair. This, by comparison, is just ordinary plastic adhesive tape.Its strength layer is a cross-weave of red and black strips of reinforcing, making a rather garish checkerboard pattern. On top of that is a clear layer which leaves the surface surprisingly slick. The glue doesn't seem to be anything special, and I don't have high hopes for how permanent this tape might be if left out in the sun. But it is indeed strong, and at least for now, it's doing a fine job of, for instance, repairing a fiberglass shovel handle which had had big cracks and holes appear in its outer plastic surface.

Wow!! This stuff is insane! Love it comes with a knife. It hasn’t failed yet on all the random stuff I have put it on

This tape is Super Strong & even comes with a built in knife to cut it. It is the stickiest tape I have ever owned.

I use this tape in combination with cheap, thin, very sticky duct tape. This tape provides the strength, but it tends to not stick to its own backing very well. Wrapping cheap duct tape around it provides a great combination of strength and stickiness.

I bought this FiberFix tape to reinforce my futon bed's wooden slats that were starting to break because of the extra load it was taking on.— THE TAPE —The tape up close looks like a checker pattern of woven material, reinforced with a thick plastic along with adhesive. The pictures you see show it as red/black; the one I got was all black. I think the red/black calls too much attention to itself and all-black blends in more easily. Whether or not the color I got was luck of the draw or just an update to the product, I don't know.Inside the roll of tape is a mini blade you can use to cut the tape. I preferred using scissors to get a nice clean cut line.— USING THE TAPE —The tape has a hard plastic layer so it's not flexible in the way that duct tape is, but it's more durable because of that. When used in correct applications, it does a great job. I wrapped some wooden slats and used it in combination with the FiberFix Wrap on my bed's wooden slats to reinforce it.— SUMMARY —I recommend watching how some people use this tape on YouTube. It's meant for certain uses and if used correctly, it's pretty strong, and definitely won't break easily. Recommended.

I bought this for a project that needed something stronger than my crappy weak tape. Instead of ordinary duct tape I bought this and it's definitely not 10x stronger. Maybe just 1x as strong. It wasn't strong enough for my project for holding up an ethernet cable, kept falling. The knife that came included was poorly made and the safety feature was broken I think. The sliding mechanism was too loose and it could retract out very easily and lock into place. I foolishly left it there never to be used but one day when I was using the tape for another purpose, I stabbed myself in the hand because the knife stuck out. Now it's my fault that I didn't check to see if it was extended when I picked it up, but I thought I'd be fine with just keeping the knife with the tape. After I got stabbed, I threw away the knife, something I should've done when I got the product originally.
