Will this work to close the seam of a shrink wrapped item? In other words, will it seal shrink wrap material?

I'm not sure but I know it sealed a plastic coffee bag. You may have to simply shorten the seal time

We use this to seal coffee bags and to create a seal for shrink wrap. There is a timer to adjust how long heat is applied. We did several tests to get the timing just right and with our coffee bags we flip the bag over and re-seal the bag to ensure all four layers are melted together. Test, test, test. It's great for small production but not great for detail work.

It depends upon the contents. If it's compressible, like clothing, you can press over the contents with a book, fold the bag where it is empty, then seal.

yes, this is what I use it for. I fold over one end by about 1/8th-1/4" to provide a tab for removing it. It does sometimes leave a slight residue. I use an alcohol prep pad to remove any residue.

I have used it to seal the cover gasket on an old Cadillac differential. No problems.

I used the tape to repair a water leak in the kitchen sink just below the drain. The tape stretches a bit and adheres to itself during wrapping. I don't believe it would work for your particular need but would be nice to have in your Do it yourself tool kit.

As the name "Repair Wrap" says, it works on a tube, a shaft or a grip, where you can wrap (swaddle) the tape aroun it.

I tested it on an old dish towel and it made a hole but did not completely cut all the way around. Then I tried it on an old terry towel and it cut pretty much all the way around but you have a tag so you have to pull it off. If you are thinking of threading something with it for the towels or blanket it probably should work. I have used mine only on tin lids and heavy cardboard.

Yes, that should do it. Try to make sure when you open it that you don't rip/tear the bag but a nice cut just under the seal would be the best. Then just use a hot iron to reseal being careful not to over heat the bag.

if the shrink wrap has perforations, to tear it away from the roll I would say yes, but mine does not have a serrated blade so it will not cut the bubble wrap cleanly, but it does work for the 40LB drawing paper

Not really. The tape bonds to itself so by pulling it tight you can use it to seal a hole in a pipe or wrap a hose. It isn't an adhesive tape per se.

I have used Flex seal (seen of TV product) and it works well BUT I would not move it around AFTER you apply it as it could reopen but it is still holding on mine going on 6 months now. Just learned not to move it once the FLEX SEAL was applied. :)

I am purely speculating but I would likely not use this for the flexible seams in a pop up tent. I would feel more comfortable going with one of the aerosol type sealers. My concern with this sealant for that purpose would be the thickness of application and maintenance of flexibility and adhesion over time.

It will cut it but I'm not sure if it will seal it. It's mainly designed as a cutter.

It partially depends on the level of natural oils in the leather (what keeps it flexible). If the leather is highly flexible you should probably first use some sort of drying agent on the seam where it is to be applied. Even then the natural oils in the adjacent leather will migrate into the dried leather and make the seam seal lose its grip. Also, depending on the environment where the sealed seam will be, oils from the surrounding air will be absorbed by the leather. All-in-all it looks like a risky action (over time) but should work for the short term if the oils are dried up (perhaps alcohol will dry them). btw - the synthetic material that it is meant to be applied to is oil free and tightly woven. i suspect that the seam seal needs some level of open space between fibers to allow it to have an area to move into and to "lock" around existing fibers. For this reason it probably will not work on sheet type material.

No. It is to divert heat from source. Not for wrapping the heated surface. You might want a insulated blanket or a wrap that's rated for high heat for your application.

I used it to shrink wrap furniture for an up coming move. I also used to wrap boxes I have books in to make the boxes stronger. I doubt you can use a heat gun with this shrink wrap. I hope this help you out
