I've searched far and wide on the net, including Ebay, and this by far is the cheapest going. To anyone who doesn't know, Gorilla Tape is the modern day version of the ball of string. It's a miracle worker of epic proportions (ok, a bit exaggerated, but you know what I mean). One website even did an experiment to see which tape was the best :
No prizes for guessing which one was the clear winner.

For want of a better answer, be the next couple of weeks, we're trying to get it in sooner - This stock should have lasted that long, but, well, you guys :smiley:
We're having a few problems with our feeds at the moment, we're aware of them and are trying to fix them - Fix should be going in soon :smiley:

Great tape and delivered price. Use it all the time and keep several rolls around the house / car / workshop / toolbox/ shed/ greenhouse etc. Very handy.
Got mine from Amazon as it sometimes drops to this price but its an add on item, so delivery on top unless ordering £20+ off stuff where amazon fulfils the order.

I thought that instead of black, this tape'd have a silverback.:smiley:

Can you use this tape to hold up spot lights?

I'd be concerned about the heat melting the glue.

What spot lights do you mean and how/ where were you thinking of fixing it?
Depends on where you attach it and the type of spotlights you're talking about. If the bulbs generate lots of heat, and its in contact with a part that heats up more than to the touch (casing etc), I'd say no. If its very low heat / led lights or on somewhere thats cold, say on a neck or bracket, then maybe depending on weight. Pretty strong stuff from experience but heat would be an issue.

Great stuff, even getting it off the roll requires some elbow.
Hot.
