Is this a clear tape? Will it work on a tarp or tent ?

No it is not clear it is black (or dark brown) I used it on our hot tub cover to seal a torn center Seam It worked great even under harsh New England weather.

My guess is probably. It sure sticks well to a plastic trash can. (Ours was cracked from the robot arm on the trash truck, and the city wanted $70 to replace it.)

I bought this item and the tape is black. It adheres best to itself so it works better if you can wrap it around something. It may stick to a tarp or tent, but I don't find it to be very sticky. I was attempting to use it on drop ceiling tiles

Its not a clear tape. It is solid black, and very sturdy. I used it to cover a rusted and peeling steel handle on my front stairway. Not sure how you want to use it on a tarp/tent. It has solid glue strength.

It's much lighter, and it's not sticky like packing tape. It sticks to the window & frame, but you can peel it off easily with no residue. Packing tape would be much more visible too, even the transparent kind.

The 3M Interior Transparent Weather Sealing Tape is indeed heavier than clear packing tape but also more of a flexible, "vinyl" kind of material. Packing tape will not conform to the transitions between glass and frame as well and I believe if left exposed to constant temperature changes, humidity and direct sunlight it would dry and become brittle, much the same as it does on cardboard boxes after lengthy periods. The 3M tape I applied to a bedroom window in April 2012 is still doing the job of sealing air leaks as well today, as when first applied. I just don't think clear packing tape would have lasted this long. As another posted replied, this tape is also nearly invisible once applied.

I live in a state that gets up to 110 degrees easily in the summer and sometimes more - while this tape is not crystal clear, it does hold up in the hot sun. I have used it to repair my car bumper and the spoiler on the back of my car. Never had a problem in the extreme heat or cold. Never had a problem with glue oozing out. Hope this helps you.

I'm not certain if it is the "correct" tape, but I love it. I use it in the fall/winter,early spring months to cover gaps to keep the cold air out an it is fantastic. I would try it. It may not stay on if it gets moisture under the waterproof side...

It is probably the same consistency but I believe this holds up better compared to packing tape. I have it sealing the cracks on some of my windows and it has lasted a long time. I don't believe the packing tape's adhesive would hold up this long.

Not really because its tape if you are looking for a "marine grade connector" that is different. there is a bit of glue inside of those that melts to give a waterproof seal. This is more for connecting loose wires for example in a car / cars wire harness. That said, if you were looking for a water resistant seal, if applied properly, I don't see how water would get in once heat was applied and it shrunk

This isn't really supposed to be a long term tape, but yes it could work. It sticks enough and is flexible. It would also depend on the application- is it going to get wet/cold/hot? That will make a huge difference.

Just tape that doesn't really work. I bought some Command strips for hanging posters and they haven't failed!!

I didn't use this for a hose, but rather to attach panels on our greenhouse. I agree with David L. Little, though... It feels like very thick packing tape and isn't flexible.. It also didn't hold up that well in the rain. I had to remove some of it and replaced it with clear duck tape, which has held 100% better. The gorilla tape really seems to be very overpriced for what it is..

it is a clear "tape" and i think it should be good for air and water but after the surfaces are already bonded. not sure as how good it is ageist water but i am sure it will hold after it has cured.

Its transparent through and through. So the color that will shine through will be of whatever the tape is sticking to.

This tape will adhere to most smooth surfaces, it is not a very sticky tape as it is used generally for easy removal though below a certain temperature it will not stick well.

yes but make sure you have the tarp lying flat to adhere the tape,I have used on a tarp and it's in Vermont weather, that should say something as we have it all rain-snow more snow more snow and sometimes even the sun

Yes, it is a clear packaging tape.I highly recommend this tape personally. It is a great packaging tape at excellent value, equal or better than 3M brand tapes.

It's in between. It is translucent. It's NOT see thru like scotch tape. But it is not 100% opaque like duct tape.

Actually, I believe that packing tape would be a more positive solution!! This weather tape is not much stronger than regular scotch tape.
