Russell griffiths Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Any got any ideas how to fix this? Apart from the obvious of shooting the dog. Blue roll in the background is the water one I just collected. Oh I do love having extra to do when I'm busy already. Bless him?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Harris Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Pity you didn't get it on video, could have been used as advertising by the people that make the stuff (think along the lines of the puppies and toilet roll............) On a serious note, nothing bonds to polythene, it has an extremely low surface energy, so to get any adhesive to bond to it long term requires something like plasma treatment of the surface to increase the surface energy. Having said that, there are some adhesive tapes that bond reasonably well to the stuff. Polytunnel repair tape works well, and although the bond will degrade over a few years, that doesn't really matter much for a warning tape.

Russell griffiths Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 I have just passed full ownership of the dog over to my wife, I have informed her that from now on I will bill her directly for any loss caused by her puppy. She informed me my dinner my dinner tonight was waiting for me at the chip shop. Oh well I didn't win that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Construction Channel Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 i asked this a while ago on ebuild http://www.ebuild.co.uk/topic/18654-what-sticks-to-polythene/page__hl__ sticks polythene are you hoping to stick the warning tape back together? if so i really wouldnt bother, just give it a massive lap or tie a knot in it, as long as the person digging sees something yellow i really wouldnt worry if they can read the print or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 To be honest I put this up to eliminate the boredom of grouting my shower. I have no intention of gluing anything it's going in the bin. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
