Can I use this tape along the edge of my new treated wood deck to show guests where the steps are? outside in the Minnesota weather? Will it work?

not sure, but i would 1sr scuff the area you will use for the tape and apply the tape during warm weather for best stick on

No, not unless the paint is already loose. I used it around a painted steel patio door all winter. The best weatherstrip I've ever used, but don't expect to open the door or window until the tape is completely removed.

I used it outside I had to tape it down. Guess if ur going to be walking over it then yeah probably needs to be taped down.

Hopefully you would have better luck than I did. First results were fantastic. As winter progressed it started to bubble up....now it is peeling off. Very upset....now they tell you to sand your wood before using the product. If it is a new deck I would not use it....good luck.

This tape would be perfect for that use. I put it on the rungs of my daughter's loft bed ladder and it helped a lot. Could see the tape well once the lights were out.

I doubt it. The operation is smooth and does not scrape the surface of the walk or driveway as it removes snow. I believe it would be ok on wood, though I have not tried it. Curious, I do have a large wooden deck that I will try it on this winter. Of course, customer service at the manufacturer would be the best resource.

That is what I primarily use it for. I have a rather large 2-tiered deck. Although it didn't clear it right down to the wood, it did clear enough off for me to be able to walk around. Since it cleans all but about a 1/4 of an inch of snow off the deck, I would say no to it damaging the wood.

Like any tape, would stick for while but not long. When I installed them on my oak steps I had no problem. They have been down for three months and show no signs of com mind off. However, I did prepare the steps with polyurethane and the stps are quite smooth. I believe that preparation on any job is the most important part of the job.

The tape that came with it has been on my plants outdoors (on aluminum holders) in sun and rain, hot and snow for over 10 mo. now and look as good the day I set them out. I did not put anything over the tape, just tape onto aluminum stake.

I would be careful using it on a wooden deck, as it had a metal protecting strip across the front that could damage wood if scrapped too closely. If you don't mind leaving a layer of snow on the deck, you may be able to use it.

As per the description, the tape should be placed at the seams (or along the edge where two materials meet). As for how much to use, in your case I would place it ALL along the edges so no wind gets under a gap and prys up on the panel. You'd likely want a seamless bond all along the edge.

That is what I use it for. The tape is slow to disolve so I have found that it works best to plant the tape on edge instead of flat. The seeds sprout and put down roots faster with the tape on edge. I use this tape for any seed I cannot get prepared seed tapes for.

http://www.marinetex.com/gluvit.html this should help better than what i can say. I really liked the results. i used it on my fiberglass deck that had some stress cracks in it and I added Evercoat epoxy color agent and I'm happy with how it turned out. I hope you get some good results, this stuff really is nice.

It works fine on vertical surfaces. The snow and ice slide off my satellite dish and my snow plow blade. I don't know where you intend to apply it on the wood. I doubt it would prevent accumulation on horizontal planes. The snow would just pile up.

I don't know if I can be any help with this one as I used it on the interior wood stairs leading to our basement. I was under the impression that it should only be used indoors, not exposed to the weather.

I've only used this on a piece of outdoor furniture, so I can't speak to how it would work for you. I will say that it went on nicely, self leveling, easy to use. It's been almost a year, and my piece is still looking pretty nice. Good luck!

Anywhere there's a breeze. Birds have really good vision; they will definitely see the tape. The tape also makes a snapping sound - an added deterrent. Good luck!
