lol to the people trying to stick this ON stucco. I can see the confusion and whoever is selling this should say something in the description. I actually use this to stick Reflectix to my travel trailer windows to keep the sun out while camping in hot places. It sticks well to the exterior trailer wall and on the Reflectix. I only have used it for a week at a time and it holds up great against the elements and direct sunlight. When I am ready to leave, it comes off clean and doesn't leave any sticky residue. A good alternative to gaffers tape.

I'm living in an apartment where the property managers don't like to take care of their tenant's maintenance problems, and when they finally give in and make the attempt, they fall short of doing any sort of quality work. Last year, to patch up several jetting air leaks in the HVAC duct work, they used normal duct tape--which melted soon there after. Melted!I've been in stores looking for the right kind of duct tape, but no-one who worked at any of the large home improvement chains could tell me anything about the duct tapes they carried. Nothing of value, so I had been reluctant until I had the grand idea of reading reviews of duct tapes online, which brought me to trying out this tape.First of all, the tape is very, very easy to work with. There is a thin plastic backing that lets you handle the tape and cut it to the correct size without it sticking all over everything and losing its adhesiveness in the process. Once you're ready, you can peel a bit of the backing away and anchor the tape, then steadily peel the rest away as you apply the rest, exactly where you want it to go.The air pressure behind the leaks is so high that it literally tore off the duct tape that was applied last year, but so far (about 3 weeks now), this foil tape has held on tight without even a slight bulge where the air leaks have been sealed. I've run the air conditioner in the day and the heater at night (desert conditions in spring--cold nights hot days), and there has been no warping or melting of any kind.A couple of the air leaks are occurring where the duct work "meets" the HVAC unit. I put that in quotations because the "meeting" is offset by several centimeters, making it impossible to create a seal. I used some screws to wrench the duct work down onto the HVAC unit and quickly learned why this wasn't done--it caused the HVAC unit to make a racket that would wake the distant dead. I took the screws back out, leaving the large gap. These are the sort of air leaks this tape has been used to seal, and it has been famously effective. In fact, effective well beyond my expectations. And I've only even used a couple of yards off the 50 yard roll. That's all it took!So, yes, high praise to this stuff. Very high praise.

NOTE TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THIS PRODUCT: Disregard those "1 star" reviews - this Tape is intended for the protection of window frames, door frames, etc DURING THE STUCCO APPLICATION PROCESS - it wasn't meant to tape a sign, etc TO stucco.I first encountered this fine product when my shop was being built 20 years ago and have continued to use it with great success for all sorts of projects. It can be left in the sun for months without having to worry about residue or disintegration. EXCELLENT PRODUCT!
