Dirty Surfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any job where you are attaching something to a surface, a good rule of thumb is to make sure the surface is clean and dry first. You wouldn&rsquo;t paint over a grease-splattered wall, would you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like paint won&rsquo;t properly bond to dirty walls, duct tape will not stick well to dirty surfaces. The adhesive layer on the duct tape will adhere to the layer of dirt or grime but potentially not to the surface below it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The adhesive on duct tape is not meant to penetrate through multiple layers. The duct tape will most likely separate from the surface after a short period of time, along with a thick layer of dirtiness attached to the adhesive on the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to wipe down potentially dirty surfaces before attaching duct tape to ensure a proper seal. Also allow the surface to completely dry before applying the duct tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some surfaces may not look dirty at first, but any layer of dust, dirt, grease, etc., will prevent duct tape from working properly, so it&rsquo;s best to clean it anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of surfaces that should be cleaned before applying duct tape include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Tents\/tarps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cars (for temporary repairs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Floors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sporting equipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Surfaces-that-should-be-cleaned-before-applying-duct-tape.jpg\" alt=\"Surfaces that should be cleaned before applying duct tape\" class=\"wp-image-28746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Surfaces-that-should-be-cleaned-before-applying-duct-tape.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Surfaces-that-should-be-cleaned-before-applying-duct-tape-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Surfaces-that-should-be-cleaned-before-applying-duct-tape-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Surfaces-that-should-be-cleaned-before-applying-duct-tape-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20729'%3E%3Crect%20width='1000'%20height='729'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Surfaces that should be cleaned before applying duct tape\" class=\"wp-image-28746 eager-load\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Surfaces-that-should-be-cleaned-before-applying-duct-tape.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Surfaces-that-should-be-cleaned-before-applying-duct-tape.jpg.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Surfaces-that-should-be-cleaned-before-applying-duct-tape.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Surfaces-that-should-be-cleaned-before-applying-duct-tape-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Surfaces-that-should-be-cleaned-before-applying-duct-tape-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Surfaces-that-should-be-cleaned-before-applying-duct-tape-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Duct tape may well be the best option for the surface you want to use tape on, but no tape will adhere well to a dirty surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Fibrous Surfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Duct tape cannot stick properly to fibrous surfaces. Fibrous surfaces are porous and are made up of small fibers that can break off from the main body of the surface. This prevents the duct tape from bonding to the object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of being one solid object, a fibrous surface is made up of millions of tiny fibers. When duct tape creates a bond with said fibers, this bond may be stronger than what is keeping the actual surface together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any stress on the duct tape will result in it detaching from the surface, most likely taking a layer of fibers with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fibrous surfaces can be naturally occurring or synthetically made.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of natural fibrous surfaces that duct tape should not be used on include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Linen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cotton<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unfinished wood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wool<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Silk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hemp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of synthetic fibrous surfaces that duct tape should not be used on include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Corrugated cardboard&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Polyester<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nylon&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/fiberglass-insulation-complete-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"23842\">Fiberglass insulation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Synthetic-fibrous-surfaces-that-duct-tape-should-not-be-used-on.jpg\" alt=\"Synthetic fibrous surfaces that duct tape should not be used on\" class=\"wp-image-28747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Synthetic-fibrous-surfaces-that-duct-tape-should-not-be-used-on.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Synthetic-fibrous-surfaces-that-duct-tape-should-not-be-used-on-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Synthetic-fibrous-surfaces-that-duct-tape-should-not-be-used-on-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Synthetic-fibrous-surfaces-that-duct-tape-should-not-be-used-on-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Synthetic-fibrous-surfaces-that-duct-tape-should-not-be-used-on.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Synthetic fibrous surfaces that duct tape should not be used on\" class=\"wp-image-28747 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Synthetic-fibrous-surfaces-that-duct-tape-should-not-be-used-on.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Synthetic-fibrous-surfaces-that-duct-tape-should-not-be-used-on-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Synthetic-fibrous-surfaces-that-duct-tape-should-not-be-used-on-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Synthetic-fibrous-surfaces-that-duct-tape-should-not-be-used-on-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Synthetic-fibrous-surfaces-that-duct-tape-should-not-be-used-on.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Acrylic packing tape is best for use on corrugated cardboard boxes.

Rough or Porous Surfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The adhesive layer on duct tape is neither thick enough nor fluid enough to be used on rough or porous surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rough objects have a textured surface. Duct tape will only stick to the higher parts of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even on objects that look relatively smooth from far away, take a close look to see what the actual texture is like. Even objects with a fine texture may not be suitable for duct tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, porous materials have small holes that prevent duct tape from adhering to the entire surface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some porous materials, such as brick, you can see the holes in the material. In others, such as paper, the pores are microscopic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to double-check whether a surface is porous or not before attempting to use duct tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some examples of rough or porous surfaces include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Brick<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Concrete&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stucco&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rough\/untreated wood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cardboard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sponges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some rocks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Not many tapes adhere well to porous and rough surfaces&mdash;it&rsquo;s not unique to duct tape.

In a short while, the duct tape will separate from the wet surface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If possible, completely dry the surface off before attaching duct tape. If the surface cannot be fully dried or will get wet again, duct tape is probably not the best option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wet surfaces to avoid using duct tape on include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Showers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sinks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plumbing Pipes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boats and other watercraft<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windows<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The exterior of your home<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Crystal Clear Gorilla Tape is made with a stronger adhesive layer and waterproof backing.

Depending on the adhesive used on certain tapes, it will react differently to temperature changes in its environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rubber-based adhesive on duct tape has a hot temperature limit of 140 &deg;F. Once the tape reaches this temperature, the adhesive will begin to soften and release from the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, don&rsquo;t use duct tape on surfaces such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/duct-tape-dryer-duct-safe-what-instead\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"27094\">Dryer<\/a> and appliance vents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hot areas of your car (i.e., engine)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ovens&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roofing&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ductwork<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It may seem counterintuitive that duct tape <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/duct-tape-dryer-duct-safe-what-instead\/\">cannot be used on ductwork<\/a>, but it is pointless and sometimes dangerous to do so. When the ducts heat up, the duct tape will soften, and the adhesive bond will weaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can quickly lead to leaks, which ups your energy bill and causes hot and cold spots in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heating the tape can also release <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/duct-tape-smells-bad-toxic\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"27371\">toxic fumes into the air<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some tape varieties are specially formulated for high heat. High-temperature tape uses a silicone-based adhesive instead of a natural rubber-based one because silicone is able to handle much higher temperatures&mdash;up to 500 &deg;F!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-amazonblock-2kOz6l wp-block-lazyblock-amazonblock\">\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--css-adjust-image-large\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B00HFN67OS\" data-aawp-product-id=\"7935\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"hvacbuzz-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Bertech High Temperature Tape 1 Mil Thick 1 Inch Wide x 36 Yards Long Polyimide Film with Silicone Adhesive\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00HFN67OS?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"Bertech High Temperature Tape, 1 Mil Thick, 1 Inch Wide x 36 Yards Long, Polyimide Film with Silicone Adhesive\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31hy6dg+67L.jpg\" alt=\"Bertech High Temperature Tape, 1 Mil Thick, 1 Inch Wide x 36 Yards Long, Polyimide Film with Silicone Adhesive\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31hy6dg+67L.jpg\" alt=\"Bertech High Temperature Tape, 1 Mil Thick, 1 Inch Wide x 36 Yards Long, Polyimide Film with Silicone Adhesive\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\">\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00HFN67OS?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"Bertech High Temperature Tape, 1 Mil Thick, 1 Inch Wide x 36 Yards Long, Polyimide Film with Silicone Adhesive\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Bertech High Temperature Tape, 1 Mil Thick, 1 Inch Wide x 36 Yards Long, Polyimide Film with Silicone Adhesive        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>HIGH TEMPERATURE ENDURANCE: Reliable with a unique combination of electrical, thermal, chemical, and mechanical properties that withstand extreme temperatures of -73&deg;C (-100&deg;F) to 260&deg;C (500&deg;F)<\/li><li>DURABLE MATERIAL: RoHS- and REACH-compliant tape is made using a soft coating of polyimide film with a silicone adhesive that leaves no residue<\/li><li>MULTI-PURPOSE: Used in a range of industries including aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, industrial, solar photovoltaic, and wind energy applications<\/li><li>DIMENSIONS: 1-inch-wide and 36-yard-long tape has a 1-mil-thick film and 1.5-mil-thick adhesive<\/li><\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n                            <span class=\"aawp-product__price aawp-product__price--current\">$12.05<\/span>\n            \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/prime\/?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"Amazon Prime\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"aawp-check-prime\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/aawp\/assets\/img\/icon-check-prime.svg\" alt=\"Amazon Prime\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/aawp\/assets\/img\/icon-check-prime.svg\" alt=\"Amazon Prime\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-9\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a>        <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--blue rounded shadow aawp-button--icon aawp-button--icon-white\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00HFN67OS?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"Buy on Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Buy on Amazon<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n<p class=\"aawp-disclaimer\">Last update on 2024-04-10 \/ Affiliate links \/ Images from Amazon Product Advertising API<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Foil tape is another great option to use on areas such as duct seams and insulation.

Cold Surfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to its performance on hot surfaces, duct tape is not ideal for cold surfaces either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the adhesive on duct tape is subjected to cold temperatures, it begins to harden. The adhesive loses its stickiness and separates from the surface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After an extended time in cold temperatures, the duct tape will freeze and turn brittle. It is then more likely to separate from the surface or crack, which ruins the airtight seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The negative effects of cold weather on duct tape will become noticeable around 40 &deg;F. Colder temperatures will speed up the process of weakening the adhesive on duct tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duct tape should not be used in cold temperature areas such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Refrigerators and freezers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outdoors during cold seasons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Winter sports gear (skis, snowboards, helmets, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AC units<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Duct-tape-should-not-be-used-in-cold-temperature-areas-such-as.jpg\" alt=\"Duct tape should not be used in cold temperature areas such as\" class=\"wp-image-28749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Duct-tape-should-not-be-used-in-cold-temperature-areas-such-as.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Duct-tape-should-not-be-used-in-cold-temperature-areas-such-as-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Duct-tape-should-not-be-used-in-cold-temperature-areas-such-as-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Duct-tape-should-not-be-used-in-cold-temperature-areas-such-as-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Duct-tape-should-not-be-used-in-cold-temperature-areas-such-as.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Duct tape should not be used in cold temperature areas such as\" class=\"wp-image-28749 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Duct-tape-should-not-be-used-in-cold-temperature-areas-such-as.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Duct-tape-should-not-be-used-in-cold-temperature-areas-such-as-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Duct-tape-should-not-be-used-in-cold-temperature-areas-such-as-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Duct-tape-should-not-be-used-in-cold-temperature-areas-such-as-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Duct-tape-should-not-be-used-in-cold-temperature-areas-such-as.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-11\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of duct tape, look for a specially formulated low-temperature tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The foil tape mentioned above is great for low temperatures as well as high. This makes it optimal to use on ductwork because ducts may contain hot or cold air, depending on the type of duct and season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold-temperature packing tape is a great choice to use for <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/duct-tape-why-cant-used-packages\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"27387\">shipping packages<\/a>.

The tape is still lightweight enough to be pulled off by hand once the package is shipped.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-amazonblock-1oXUVv wp-block-lazyblock-amazonblock\"><p>No products found.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Waxy Surfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Duct tape should not be used on waxy surfaces. Just as wax repels water, it also repels the adhesive from duct tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to look at it is that the wax forms a barrier that the adhesive on duct tape can&rsquo;t penetrate, so a strong bond cannot be formed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of some waxy surfaces that duct tape should not be used on include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Wax finished wood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waxed cars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wax paper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waxed flooring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Very tacky tapes, such as Gorilla tape, may be able to create a bond with the waxed surface. However, it will not hold for as long as it would if the surface was unwaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must remove the waxy layer from the object&rsquo;s surface before applying tape. The case is the same for other tapes as well, as the waxy layer will repel nearly every type of adhesive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Measures, such as roughening up the surface with sandpaper or treating it with a primer that is compatible with both the surface and the tape, will help create a long-lasting hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Certain Plastics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like me, you might at first imagine that duct tape would stick to all plastic surfaces. After all, they are typically smooth and nonporous. Unfortunately, this is not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duct tape will not stick to certain plastics such as Teflon&reg; and polyethylene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Materials like Telfon have low surface energy. This prevents the duct tape adhesive from spreading out to form a strong bond with the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before giving up on duct tape, however, try wiping down the plastic with some rubbing alcohol. This may get rid of the plasticizers that are preventing a strong bond from forming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plasticizers are chemical additives that increase a plastic&rsquo;s processability during production and flexibility during use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, these chemicals act similarly to wax in that they repel the adhesion of duct tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some common plasticizers that may be found on plastic surfaces include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Phthalates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Citrates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Benzoates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chlorinated Paraffins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bio-based plasticizers such as castor oil, palm oil, epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO), epoxidized linseed oil (ELO)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Common-plasticizers-that-may-be-found-on-plastic-surfaces-include.jpg\" alt=\"Common plasticizers that may be found on plastic surfaces include\" class=\"wp-image-28750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Common-plasticizers-that-may-be-found-on-plastic-surfaces-include.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Common-plasticizers-that-may-be-found-on-plastic-surfaces-include-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Common-plasticizers-that-may-be-found-on-plastic-surfaces-include-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Common-plasticizers-that-may-be-found-on-plastic-surfaces-include-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Common-plasticizers-that-may-be-found-on-plastic-surfaces-include.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Common plasticizers that may be found on plastic surfaces include\" class=\"wp-image-28750 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Common-plasticizers-that-may-be-found-on-plastic-surfaces-include.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Common-plasticizers-that-may-be-found-on-plastic-surfaces-include-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Common-plasticizers-that-may-be-found-on-plastic-surfaces-include-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Common-plasticizers-that-may-be-found-on-plastic-surfaces-include-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Common-plasticizers-that-may-be-found-on-plastic-surfaces-include.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-12\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, Gorilla Tape may solve your issues here.

Painted or Coated Surfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, painted or coated surfaces are not ideal for duct tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The adhesive on duct tape is not fluid enough to permeate through the paint or sealant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of bonding with the actual surface, the duct tape will only bond with the layer of paint or sealant&mdash;it will likely be a very strong bond, but in a way, this is worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of holding the surface together, it is more likely to tear off with the paint or top coat in tow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purposely removing the duct tape will also most likely take some of the paint or finish with it, no matter how careful you are. Or conversely, the duct tape could leave an aggravating sticky residue behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High-quality paints and top coats may be less likely to peel away with duct tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Painted or coated surfaces that duct tape should not be used on include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Walls (drywall)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finished wood furniture and flooring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Painted furniture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cars<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is better to use a lightweight tape on painted surfaces. This prevents the tape from ripping off paint or even chunks of the drywall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Painters tape, or gaffer&rsquo;s tape, is the best option. This tape is specifically designed to be taken off of surfaces such as painted walls.
