Product Overview
This High Intensity Reflective Tape with distinctive triangular weld patterning from Watersports Warehouse offers exceptional brightness even when viewed at angles low to its surface. This tape is perfect for pin-striping your kayak, canoe, surfboard, paddle board, helmet or any type of metal or plastic vehicle or accessory. Just peel off the backing and the high-tack adhesive will bond to your unit (if applying to plastic surface, read the "hot tip" below). And it is flexible enough to wrap around your kayak paddle. Sold in 10', 15', 25' and 50' lengths. Custom lengths up to 150' are available by special order, please inquire.
Hot Tip!
Many plastics, especially polyethylene, which is use din making roto-molded kayaks, have very low surface energy. This makes them have very poor adhesion qualities. You can change the surface energy temporarily so that tape, decals, or anything you want to stick to your kayak or paddle blade will stick better. This is done with flame treating. With a small propane torch, pass the flame over the area you want to treat. The plastic does not have to get hot, so keep the flame 4 or 5 inches from the plastic. In just a few seconds the flame treatment will have significantly raised the surface energy of the plastic and its ability to accept adhesives will be greatly increased. The change is temporary, so application should be done immediately after treatment.
