Nothing is more tenacious than the temporary

Together with leaks I'm not a fan of workarounds. Water always finds its way even sealed, again supposedly closed seams, cracks and leaks will molt sooner or later back to a recent case of a problem. In this respect I see this 3M high-performance sealing tape as a useful and fast friend in need and for temporal bridging, up to a technically clean and future-proof repair solution.

First - the 3M does not replace a silicone, acrylic and / or other full sealants. Shall pass to transitions between brick walls and windows / door connections, the best adhesion and adaptability to its knees. The practical benefits experienced by the product closer to typical and pure Abklebe stories, systemic usually outdoors. For us it is an incorrectly executed lightwell transition to the basement, which prevents rainwater complete, accurate and immediately takes off in the relocated underground drainage. Reworked the water runs now predominantly to where I want it, only a few crossing points on the canopy itself are still susceptible to moisture. There, the sealing strip is installed in a few minutes and completely invisible after another round silver paint from the can.

The application is very simple. Of course, the affected area must be carefully cleaned, completely free of grease and dust free and dry. Respect. the required processing temperature of at least 25 ° C, I was skeptical about the cold plate and did a precaution nachgeholfen briefly with a Bunsen burner. After that, only stick, pressing at least 10 seconds and from the mouse.

Conclusion: An excellent product when it is not automatically used as an all-cure in all emergency situations. And currently here at Amazon is not necessarily cheaper than the local hardware store, which also does not necessarily correspond to the rule.
