Gorilla Tape's toughness surpasses ordinary duct tapes, making the list of uses virtually endless. It sticks to smooth surfaces, plus rough and uneven surfaces including wood, stone, stucco and brick, that most tapes can't hold. Gorilla Tape is made to withstand elements in tough bonding applications, offering superior adhesion for long lasting repairs. The all-weather shell helps create a barrier than can withstand harsh elements, while the double thick adhesive fills in gaps on surfaces for extra grip. The tight weave on the strong reinforced backing contributes to the heft, but Gorilla Tape can still be ripped by hand.
