> 3 dayThis is a good tape with excellent adhesion. Its been raining here and the Home Depot would not adhere, this brand adhered easily. The rubber is thicker as well and doesnt wrinkle like the Home Depot brand. Plus, it repels water much better.

> 3 dayWell, this joist tape is sticky. It is black and it is thick. Easy to peal and apply. It is super sticky so it stays where it is put, and is hard to remove once it is set. I used this to cover the top edge of the 30 year old beams and joists when I replaced the decking boards on my deck. Will it work? Will it prevent rot? It seems like a good idea. I will never know. By the time that the deck boards are removed years from now I likely will not be here to find out. Others have noted that they found it hard to cut. I have some advise. Do not use a knife. Scissors work best. It took some practice but I found that I had to cut steady and slowly so as not to cause the tape to separate from the plastic backing. If you get any of the sticky goo on your scissors, you are done and need to clean the scissors before cutting again. I used a clean rag and some carb cleaner to refresh my scissors when they got gummed up.

07-04-2025Im redoing and outside deck. The joists are still ok but...Ive used this on other decks and it is great at preventing water from rain/snow from entering the joist via screw or nail holes. You will be thankful you used this stuff down the road.

> 3 dayTape for the deck joists to help protect from rotting. Very easy to use. I used it on the deck base of a composite deck that I built. Great product, will save the deck framing for many years.

Greater than one weekPretty much as advertised. Although it didnt stick that well when folded over the edge.

> 3 dayFirst time I ordered was trex tape. That tape had anti-skid grit on it so that it was not slippery to walk on. The tape from Imus does not have that.

> 3 dayVery easy to apply. Sticks well and until you press it firmly in place you can usually reposition it. I dont have any concerns with the tape and recently bought 2 more rolls for the next phase of my deck. After 3 months in the Texas heat, the tape is holding up well.... of course its way too early to rate the durability.
