Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between standard and heavy-duty duct tape?Heavy-duty duct tape features a thicker backing and stronger adhesive, typically offering 2-3 times the holding power of standard duct tape. It's ideal for demanding applications and outdoor use where extra strength is needed.
How do I choose the right thread sealing tape?Select PTFE thread sealing tape based on the application - white for standard water lines, yellow for gas lines, and green for oxygen systems. Always check local codes and manufacturer specifications for specific requirements.
Why use blue painter's tape instead of masking tape?Blue painter's tape is specially designed to remove cleanly without residue for up to 14 days, while providing superior paint bleed resistance. Standard masking tape can leave residue and allow paint seepage.
What type of electrical tape should I use?Choose UL-listed vinyl electrical tape rated for at least 600V and 80°C (176°F). Premium grades offer better stretch, conformability, and temperature resistance for professional installations.
How long will caution tape last outdoors?Most standard caution tape will last 30-90 days outdoors, depending on weather conditions. For extended outdoor use, choose UV-resistant grades specifically designed for long-term exterior applications.
