Frequently Asked Questions

What is 550 duct tape used for?

It is a general purpose tape for temporary jobs, including sealing and joining builders film, bundling and wrapping materials, tying down loads and making quick repairs on site. It is the everyday tape builders, contractors and plumbers keep in the van for light duty sealing and holding work.

Will it hold outdoors?

This is a general purpose tape for temporary applications in temperatures above 18 degrees, so it is not rated as a long term exterior tape. For permanent outdoor sealing you would use a purpose made product, and for heavy strapping a filament tape gives much more strength.

Can I tear it by hand?

Yes. Duct tape of this type tears across the cloth backing by hand, which makes it quick to use on site without reaching for a knife. For a clean, straight cut on a full width piece, a snap off knife or tape cutter gives a neater edge.

Can duct tape be painted over?

Duct tape is not designed as a paint surface and most paint will not key to the cloth backing or the adhesive residue. If you need to mask for painting, use a purpose made masking tape instead. Use duct tape for the temporary sealing, bundling and repair jobs it is built for.
