Background

Various kinds of flashing tapes are used in construction and need to have strong adhesion but cannot be so tacky that they are difficult to handle and to properly position for the targeted purpose. This study compares the tack and work of adhesion of three flashing tapes: The tapes examined were Zip SystemTM Stretch Tape, Zip SystemTM Flashing Tape (both from Huber Engineered Woods) and Super-Stick Building TapeĀ® from Protecto Wrap.
