Dudda Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 If you've any left over external airtight tape that's incredibly sticky and durable. Not exactly sure what you're trying to do. If it's fixing lagging to pipes can you use cable ties? They'll be still there long after we've all passed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 We use the Orange Jaffa Tape for taping sheet up for render It’s the only one that seems to stay on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 If it’s for wrapping around split insulation in bands then I always use ordinary electrical insulating tape, also makes really good plasters for holding bits of fingers and thumbs together 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Self almagamating tape, wrap the whole run of insulation, or the wasps and mice will eat it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which insulation are you planning on using as most of the standard ones are not UV stable for external use. The only guaranteed ones are foil wrapped semi rigid fibre, and Armaflex HT Solar, or Armaflex Tuffcoat (or similar) Nothing else has UV stability. You can buy coatings but they are usually £60-70 a tub and used on process pipework. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Thanks everyone. I already have a good coat of insulation. I think that I will use some of the offcut edpm from the flat roof and cable ties as I may need access later. Thanks @Russell griffiths Never heard of self amalgamating tape before. Looked it up - definetly going play with some of that! Oh another day, and another thing I didn't know I didn't know. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 @Marvin you could try Gorilla tape. I’ve used it for an external repair and it’s lasted 3 or 4 years so far without failing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gorilla-Glue-3044401-Duct-Black/dp/B001E5ZWT4/ref=asc_df_B001E5ZWT4/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=223237768057&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4834807999352096810&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046437&hvtargid=pla-312217067516&psc=1&th=1&psc=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
