Does the tape lose its adhesion in water? I would like to try using the tape with a bathing suit, but am unsure whether or not it would still work.

I don't now that this tape is actually 'waterproof' but the adhesive is very durable and sticky, so I think it may work. Try it out and then post your results.

It's the best tape I've found for rowing. If you only tape fingers, it will come off, but if you anchor it around your hand and in between fingers, etc. it will (mostly) stay on. I use it along with rowing-specific gloves that just came out on the market.

Yes, it would stick. It is water resistance. The only thing is will the shower caddy have the surface area for the tape. You have to use plenty of tape. More surface you cover with the tape the stronger the hold. I can also predict when you clean the area cleaning chemicals loosen the bond.

I am not familiar with a wet method application. The transfer tape has a light tack. When rubbed on self stick vinyl the vinyl will stick to the transfer tape. When rubbed on the wall or glass or other surface the vinyl sticks to the surface and the transfer tape is easily peeled off. Not sure how it would hold up with water.

That is correct... the tape is designed to only stick to itself. Do a search for tent tape or seam tape, there are a lot of good choices out there.

Hello, It seems to me it would even stick better to something that was already a little grippy. There is a version of the tape though that is extra strong and even washable designed for putting on clothes although I have never used it. Regarding this tape, I've used it to label containers and file folders but not something that would be frequently handled like a telephone.

as long as you put the tape on when it is clean and sweat-free, then you should be fine later along the day. At least, that's happened for me. When you take off the tape, there might be some spread out adhesive and oily substances, but the tape should be fine while you wear it.

The last portion of the tape should always be applied with zero tension (unless it is applied for a scar manipulation effect), the edges are rounded as previously mentioned- this helps to prevent snags; if you have oily skin, if it is an area with excess hair, or if your skin has lotion/moisturizer it will affect the adhesive quality of the tape. I am a licensed practitioner, and have found that it normally stays on for 3-5 days with the majority of my athletes. Lastly, you are supposed to rub the tape after it is applied to activate the adhesive. I hope this helps!

My daughter has tried to go down without water, but she was in a bathing suit & the vinyl was too sticky against her skin. Could be possible with other clothes if they don't stick to the vinyl, but not sure. Landing might be rough without water in the bottom for padding.

i have found that tape made for silk screen production is amazing in it's sticking ability in wet and heat. that is the environment it was made to perform in! if you must patch with tape order the special tape on line from a screen supply house. it's expensive but worth it. it will not stick to the fabric portion of the cover however.

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.

Clean the area before you put the sticker on on. It could be that the area is greasy or dirty. If that doesnt work, try some other tapes that they offer. mine works just fine. I used it on a very glossy computer case, snd it still there. Try put it on good area where youre not gonna touch over and over again. Good luck.

The tape is the standard foam double stick type. I would bet that it would work in the shower if you mount it to a dry surface. I put mine inside my medicine cabinet.

No. The tape only lasts for 1 application. It is waterproof and can be left on for 2 days (maybe 3 if you don't sweat too much!).

I have had no issues with the adhesive hook at all. It is about half a square foot to the bottom right of my shower head. So water doesn't spray on it but it definitely gets on it when I rinse the mirror to get the temp to adjust and defog.The only issue I have is its not reusable so you need to be sure of where you want it. I bought suction cups too to be able to move it sometimes. The suction cups I bought don't hold the mirror because of the condensation and temp change in the air. But thats my fault for thinking they would work. The hook is as good as a 3M adhesive hook for anywhere in the home. Reliable. I have had no issues with the adhesive hook at all.

It will not come off during swimming unless oil or oily cream is applied to your face. Or, if it is rubbed or itched. You can touch it and pat dry. I swim a lot and it stays well.

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.
