Does this apply mud to the top of the tape or just the underside? Would it work with Butt Tape from StraitFlex that needs no mud on top?

It only applies mud to the bottom. I haven't used Butt tape so I can't comment. It does a great job of putting the exact amount needed which reduces mud use and makes it easier to feather out the mud. Only draw back is that you have to guess how much tape you need and you can only handle about 4' at a time unless you have help.

You put the roll in so it unrolls "under", with the backside of the tape getting the coat of mud. And with the two-sided insert, you can use it with thick or thin tape (or when I was using the fiber tape, I had to shim the insert with duct tape).You can unroll as much tape as your wingspan, unless you have a helper as Brad said.

I use regular paper tape it applies it to one side then you do your second and third coats of mud allow for dry time in between and your golden

Just to the bottom and not sure but it may work with the butt tape it puts a large amount of mud in bottom of tape

You only want to coat one side of the tape. The joint knife will scrape the top side coat of mud is coated on both sides. The side that gets coated will depend on how you load the tape in the tool.

I used regular blue painter's tape when I masked off a table I covered. Worked really well - no tape residue was left behind. Try to make a dam with the tape as opposed to covering like you would if you were painting. In other words, have the tape meet the epoxy at a perpendicular angle, instead of just taping off like you would with paint. (The epoxy will decoupage anything under it.)

I'm sorry but I'm not sure about the answers to your questions. You may want to find the model number & contact the manufacturer. My guess is that the tape is not waterproof.

I used anti slip tape I got at sports authority, used for baseball bats, tennis racquets, paddleball paddles, works great and silences the issue

It is not flat on the bottom but rather has recessed areas. In my opinion, double sided tape would not work very well. The only way to make it work would be to cut small pieces to fit in the recessed areas and build up several layers.

If it works like the Rectorseal 2 in. x 4 ft. Pipe Repair Kit (expoxy tape activated in water), then my guess is that it may not because the tape works best when it is wrapped on itself for superior adhesion (sticks on itself far beter).

I have used this tape in an automotive application. The adhesive is very sticky. My opinion would be that gravity would hold the tape in position and any water creeping between the tape would dry during a heat cycle before it could loosen the adhesive. Applied over properly prepped plastic, it wouldn't let any water in between anyway. My only problem was the aluminum separating from the adhesive-imbedded fiberglass.

Sorry, I am unable to advise. I found the tape useless for the job I bought it for.Regards,David

This tape does not wrap around like others it is applied along the bottom of the pipe and held in place by tape that you need to buy separately. So the length they specify is the length the tape will do.

It seems to stay put where you put it assuming you use the full surface area of the product. The pad is somewhat flexible so you can adapt it to a slightly curving suface. It will stay put due to friction like how plastic film is when you peel it off of a new mirror and not like an adhesive bond like with tape. So it helps if both surfaces are clean.

If anything would help ,I would use the regular black Gorilla tape which has a cloth backing. Clean the back and apply 4" strips across the split and then 2 strips over the length .Trim the ends if needed. Then press down firmly ( step on it ) .I hope that this helps, Dave , Good Luck.

The tape is very strong...I have never tried that before, I would say give it a shot! It might work!

It works well I used it for taping the second floor of my home. it works best if you have someone to pull the length if tape from the tape buddy and hand it to you while standing on scaffolding to apply that's how I did it. The mud is applied to the tape using be tape buddy it's a great system use the thinnest setting though.

When I apply my tape, I doing so, to keep it in place. I've had no need to peel it of (as of yet). As a matter of fact, I reinforce it w/ a layer of another clear tape to keep it in place. I hope that helps...kj

No. You might need somerhing to keep it from sliding around. I used double stock tape with a ten-pound capacity. amds thay worked

Yes it does what the other does as well as make piping. I feel this one is better because it has adjustable speed for putting the tape thru. Allows more control for different thicknesses

yes, the tape that comes with the gws is useless. The hha tape worked fine.
