KOMIWOO 2 Pack Bathtub Caulk Strip PE Waterproof Self Adhesive Sealant Tape for Bathroom, Kitchen, Tub and Wall Corner Edge, White

When looking for a caulk strip for my particular situation this product seemed to be ideal, but I was not sure why there was such a disparity between reviewers on the stickiness. Because this product was silicone it had the best material characteristics (flexible, stain resistance, anti-fungal, and chemical resistance) for what I needed so I decided to take a chance and look very closely at what I received before I used it.There *is* an actual reason why the reviews on the "stickiness" are so varying, and here is why: Silicone is an extremely slippery material, and what was happening was when the person peeled back the paper backing the adhesive was able to stick to the paper and separate from the silicone strip. If this happens it won't stick to much of anything. When this happened to me on one end I quickly stopped, trimmed that end off, and started carefully from the other end, and the adhesive was able to stay on the silicone side without any problem. You just need to be careful that the clear adhesive gel stays on the silicone strip and is not stuck to the paper. After doing that correctly it is EXTREMELY sticky and quite hard to handle if you peel the whole strip in one go. It has no problem sticking to anything including your fingers! My advice when using this as advertised is to get the paper peal started correctly, and then continue striping it as you go. But because this is so sticky you are probably best to fold the strip in half, press it with some weight for a little while, before stripping the paper back so that the silicone material will naturally want to be in the 90deg shape before even starting. That way it should be easier to handle once the paper is pealed back. If you slip it may be difficult to separate it from your wall/tub/shower/fingers once it makes contact, so work it slowly by folding first, pressing the folded edge into the corner, and then unfolding it as you go.Ok, my particular circumstance is probably different than most (see photo) other people. My shower enclosure was installed incorrectly by the installer and there was no proper water barrier sealed between the wall and the shower platform. To make things worse, the platform is attached to the floor and the expensive granite was adhered directly to the wall, and with normal humidity changes in the house, the two surfaces moved independently by just a fraction of an inch or so, but evidently, just enough to split and tear *any* caulk I might apply into the seam or to that edge between them. Everything I have tried so far only lead to having an extra shower room in my living room area below, coming through the drywall ceiling. So, what I did was to run a small bead of clear silicone along the wall, and another on the platform, pressed the calk strip into the corner, flared out the two halves, and then squeezed out the extra silicone at the edges, and wiped off the excess. This allowed me to adhere the strip to both sides and gives the silicone strip some ability to move independently without the normal shear forces that cause the tearing action. I used a mold/mildew resistant silicone that goes on white and dries to clear, and the end result is it looks great and should be able to handle the normal shifting between the two parts. Silicone is very flexible. If it ever does split the bright white silicone will make visual inspection very easy and should be quite noticeable and thus happen before I ever need to re-drywall my living room again. I also placed several water leak detectors/alarms under that platform so if it ever does leak again I'll know about it immediately!

Not sticky enough to hold in place round bath; nice idea but I recommend an additional (spray) adhesive.

Great product

I'd previously bought this in grey for my kitchen and it was great. It still is great. This, however, doesn't stick well at all. I bought it to go round my bath. I heated it with the hairdryer, made sure that the adhesive was stuck to the tape and not the backing paper, all went well until the next day and it just slid down the tiles, flat. I took it off and binned it - used the other roll. Made extra sure to heat it, blah blah. The next day the ends of the tape have slipped down the tiles again.

Due to a poor bathroom design the silicone would always go black quick due to water not properly draining. Sick an tired of re doing the silicone beading so I tried these strips.I bought 4 rolls in two packs, two rolls had a slightly green tint to them(hopefully you can see in pics) and of them two rolls the pvc came off with the backing tape rendering one roll of green tint useless. Didn’t want to try a more expensive roll as this was more a test, but the adhesion is great once stuck, heated the strips up once on with a hairdryer and I’m happy how solid it feels.Should they need replacing or I get sick of the green tint I might plump for a more expensive roll so I hopefully don’t have any of the above issues....
