Is this tape water proof? I would like to use on my mailbox.

It is plastic so it is probably waterproof. But it is easy to pull off , so you may want to rethink using this on a mailbox.

I have used this tape a lot. As long as you adhere it to a clean dry surface I am pretty sure not even the Incredible Hulk could rip it off after the adhesive dries.

The tape is water proof. I use tape to mark planters. When it gets wet sometimes the glue dose not work so good.

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

I have two of these. The tape is more vinyl like than paper. The labels hold up well. That being said I am not sure this would be the case outdoors. If it is weather protected I do not see the sun as being a huge issue although it would shorten the life. I have labels in direct sunlight all the time but in a climate controlled area with no issues.

I've found that frequent watering will eventually weaken the adhesive backing, leading to the tape falling off. It's a good, effective product though and will survive light watering and rains. I use it around the bases of my fruit trees, as brown snails are a real pest in Southern California.

Hi, I would suggest even though you still want to protect your postcard with this, you still need to put them in an envelope. Because I think the USPS needs to put stamps on the paper. so they need a non waterproof surface.

Depends on whether or not the house system you speak of is indoors or out. There is a layer of something on one side of the wrap that may make it water resistant, but my application is limited to indoors.

No. This is an indoor only contact paper. It is shelf liner. Not water proof (the middle is but not the sides). Can easily become de-stickified (it's in this comment, it is a word now) from frequent use. I used it to help fix up the end of my computer desk and after several months it is slowly coming destuck.

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.

For the most part yes. The only time is doesn't really work and would make me a little nervous is if you're around salt water. The tape doesn't adhere to surfaces with salt water or salty air (ie next to oceans, etc) very well.

I have a small overhang on my front porch, but when rain/wind come from the west, the whole porch/mailbox does get wet. I;ve had mine abt a year and my mail has never gotten wet.

I would say yes! Based on our experience with the mailbox located in the all-season Midwest, with outside placement, we have yet to have wet, let alone damp mail like we used to with the old one. Extremely sturdy, well crafted, and beautiful color (much less orange than photo). Highly recommend this product to anyone!

I don't think it would be possible for rain to get into the mailbox. The lid has a "lip" all the way around and that should keep everything inside dry. Also, the box is larger than most, which means there is less chance that a large piece of mail will be sticking out of the box where it could be rained on.

I am not sure if it is advertised as such, but in my experience it is. For instance, I taped up some targets for shooting, didn't take them down that day, came back a week later and they were still there. Lasting a full week outside in the Florida summer where it's quite hot and rains every single day is pretty solid and better than any other tape I have used.

It is kind of like "super" duct tape. I don't consider duct tape totally waterproof, but it holds up outside for a long time. At least a year in my experience. If you are looking for something to repair a water hose or something similar, I would chose a different type of tape.

I can't verify if it's waterproof, but definitely designed for outdoor use! I have had it hanging from a rear garage exterior door for a couple of years with no problems. The keys are dry and the lock mechanism has always opened with ease every time.

Yes it is. We have had our box for a number of months now. We live at top of a ridge and our mail box has been exposed to heavy rain, snow, and wind, we have seen no moisture within the box or on the mail, even when we left the mail in it for several days.

The box is sturdy but I would not trust it to be waterproof unless u r storing things that can get wet , hope this helps.
