Works Fine for keel protection
11 years ago
The kevlar tape is great to work with if you use masking tape on the cut ends to prevent unraveling, the existing sides are perfect for repairs and as a keel strip. Its best to use a good penetrating epoxy to get the best results or like i did was to soak the tape in slow setting epoxy and then massaged it into the tape before setting on the surface intended for repairs. Once set things looked good and only the masking tape ends were sanded and re-epoxied to make a smooth transition.

Tough Stuff
12 years ago
I don't have a lot of experience with fiberglass, so I can't make much of a comparison there. What I can say though is that this tape is very difficult to cut. I found that by laying the tape across a 2x4 I can cut it with several passes of a utility knife. Hopefully that toughness will translate to increased strength in my lay-up.

Q: Greetings, Your spec page shows this at 0.012"" thickness. Do you have it in a thinner tape, say 0.005-0.007""? Width is perfect, just looking for a flatter weave. Would appreciate any info you have on such a product. Thank you for your time. Frank Aliberti

Q: Are the edges of the tape seamed or loose to fray?
9 years ago5 Answers
A: The sides of the Tape are woven with the Kevlar fabric and are not loose and do not fray. The ends of the tape (2 ends per roll) can fray if the masking tape that holds them together is removed. The product is shipped with the two ends taped. So there is only the potential to fray (or the product weave to come loose) when the product is cut to length. With a little care when cutting and application of masking tape on the cut ends the weave stays together quite well.

Q: can it be sewed on other material for a wear surface?
10 years ago3 Answers
A: I have not tried using Kevlar for that purpose, but I think that it may work OK If you are thinking of sewing it on using a sewing machine, I would suggest you have the kevlar on top as it is very slippery and may not feed properly if it is underneath. You might also want to pin them together or use a few hand stitches to make sure that stay aligned. Regards Lyle B

Q: Can this tape be used as a bicycle tire liner to protect the inner tubes from shards of glass that penetrate the tire casing and then puncture the inner tube? Is this a tight weave or are there gaps between the strands that can allow small objects to squeeze through?
10 years ago12 Answers
A: Thank you Jon that is the answer to my question. If the weave was tight and the openings difficult to spread wider then there may have been a possibility of it working. Thanks again . . . Ray

Q: How easy is Kevlar tape to cut? Would it be a good material to use for belt straps on a travel wallet to prevent thieves from simply cutting through them?
10 years ago10 Answers
A: Electrical or phone company scissors work very well for cutting this tape. Other (sharp)scissors can work as well but you will either need to replace them fairly frequently or be able to sharpen them. Crash shears will work for a while as well and can be found on Amazon for reasonable prices. Note: it would be ill advised to use your wife's quality sewing shears for this job... I'll say no more.

Q: twice had my fish locator wires on my in water pontoon boat chewed thru by a beaver or muskrat......do you think wrapping the wires with this product could deter that? I know the other option but my wife won't allow it,
12 years ago1 Answer
A: It might help, but probably not much. Kevlar is more resistant to impact than chafe- I can cut through this tape with a sharp pair of scissors. Perhaps some metal conduit from the hardware store would be more effective. This is what an electrician would install in a a space where rodents might be a problem.

Q: does your kevlar tape have an adhesive side?
13 years ago1 Answer
A: This product does not have any adhesion on it. This is a cloth material. It is called tape because of its width size.
