One thing the producers don't specify don't know why is to warm the sticker before applying with a heat gun. The glue needs a bit of heat to become sticky enough to not peel from the wall. Try this!
The middle where you fold this stuff (as instructed) just splits so you're basically left with two thin strips - then try closing the gap that results - impossible. And it doesn't always stay stuck.
Tip. A friend updated his bathroom with this tape and was told to ..apply silicone caulk and apply the tape before the caulk dries and it will stay in place and also ,protect it from water seeping thru. Trying today ... fingers crossed 😊
Made a brown, rust-looking color on my tub that took me longer to clean than to install a new one. We have gaps in our shower surround, so normal caulk won't work. This tape is 1-5/8" so covers it. But I still have to super glue the corners, then run caulk at the tops and bottoms of the strip to keep water out, and even then it's good for maybe 6 months.
Yeah, sure, it's easy to install. But after a month, water gets in behind it because the galaxy brains who created this put the tape/glue in the MIDDLE of the strips, not on the ENDS where it should be, so water constantly gets behind it. You still have to run a bead of caulk on the top and bottom.
So what’s the point of buying the magic caulking tape if u have to caulk it still to me is like u doing double work. If that’s the case mind as well just buy caulking then what’s the point of buying the magic tape and still need the caulking 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Tried this. Don't do it! We thoroughly removed old caulk, cleaned and wiped down, then dried thoroughly. Some places did not want to stick initially. Pressed on those a little longer until it appeared they were sticking. We allowed 2x recommended drying time before using shower. This stuff lasted one shower...I went into bathroom after my daughter finished and it was practically lying in the tub! Pulling the remainder off could have been done by a baby. Plain old caulk did the trick and is easy to do, albeit slightly messier.
@@carolynw.3035it all clumpy and not smooth using caulking the main thing is its seals and white and not yellow from mold nice should not matter main thing it’s protecting around the tub.
Tried this stuff because for some reason the caulk I kept putting on kept coming off. Figured maybe the tape would stay on. Nope came off after a shower.
How can the caulking come off ? U probably didn’t let it dry long enough before using shower or u didn’t put enough not thick enough it should be 12 hrs before using shower. When I put the caulking on it always sticks my problem is making it smooth and not clumpy making it smooth is not easy it’s hard to make it look nice lol
Did everything they said, looked lovley for about 30mins, now it's all pealing off by itself, don't waste your time. Tip for company: Use better adhesive on this shit strip.
Old way caulking is better but it just doesn’t look nice when applying it’s clumpy lol but main thing it stays on and protects around your tub. The magic tape won’t even stay on so how can it protect your tub? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣
Really tacky looking when finished, like cheap 1970s motel tacky. Plus the top and bottom edges do not seal to the wall/tub so water will get behind them and you will have to constantly clean that out. I'm peeling it off and caulking instead. Sure, it was easy to put on, but the finished look is not worth it.
I have put backer rods into big gaps in the corners and several places on the sides of tub. Then, I siliconed around the whole tub, including up-and-down on the surround. I did a messy job!! But the silicone is in there. Now, I'm adding this tape on top of the silicone. Trying to keep water from getting behind the "self-draining" surround - NOT!! Hope it works. Had new tub and surround installed - they would not caulk it - said it didn't need it!! Disagree. Holds a ton of water behind the surround that I had to spend hours to get dry!

Called magic because you need an actual magician to make it work.
lmao
😂
Worked great for me. It took a lot of elbow grease to get it ready to put on but it went on great
I'd like to see a better picture of how you did the corners please
As soon as it gets wet it comes off.
purchase a strong waterproof adhesive for bathroom tile to use with the tape. afterwards caulk over it with a quality waterproof caulking.

You can use it for other purpose besides bathtub. Works great for hiding seam. :)

Agreed, this looks like a headache
nice video bros
Dang....
Just opened one to use and it's not sticking either, and I've cleaned the area really well.
Disappointed for sure.

Did it work?
Amanda Davis SMH. Nope didn't work. Just caulk my tub the old way.😂
It wouldn't stick to the tub or tile. Waste of money and time.
@@kitkatbarr
Damn I hope I have better luck ..
@@maxamillionese8519 me too. I really wanted it to work just love the look but didn't for me
It worked for me so far and i purchased some from facebook market
Looks unsightly and when water gets underneath the adhesive becomes very sticky and a pain to remove

I've noticed that the company that makes this never comments here.
Is this removable?
bad product, does not stick...I dont know why its still out there on the market
I used it and it came off
If you want to throw your money in the trash then buy it it doesn’t work at all take it off the shelf guys just put some regular caulking

What was the caulk brand you used?
Thx
@@cassie101the best caulking is to use the Dap Alex Plus caulking waterproof at Walmart these magic tape is bs. 👎👎👎
It doesn't work, tried three times wasted money.
it doesn't work
Bueller... bueller...bueller
A tube of tub caulk and a caulking gun is a whole lot faster and easier to install.
But doesn't look as nice.

I've heard that water and tape don't mix.
🤣🤣🤣
Just opened the package and tested a piece, not very sticky, doubt it will work.
Caulking looks easier
Caulking is easier but it doesn’t look nice when applying it’s clumpy and doesn’t look nice it sticks. Magic caulking tape is bs 💩💩💩👎👎👎

How do you remove it after a few years after its life has expired?
fourthlayer
It doesn’t even last a week
@@chantelharper1208🤣🤣🤣
About as reliable as wet toilet roll.
🤣🤣🤣
I teach you how to caulk😉
You have a small caulk 😉
Caulking is easy applying it but making it look nice is the hard part it’s hard to make it smooth lol
This stuff is garbage! I used it one a BRAND NEW BUILD! so everything was PERFECT! This crap still peeled off after a week!
what did you expect...

It sucks and does not stay seals. Followed all instruction, but the old way is the better way don't waste your money.

This is the worst stuff ever put it on within an hour it removes itself is there an award for worst product ever if so this should win
only an idiot could use this in a bathtub
🤣🤣🤣
Absolute waste of time and money. It bubbled after careful installation.More bubbles at first use.
Ugly finishing look.
this stuff is no good, money wasted ,
Don’t get this. It’s garbage.
Garbage worth less
Rubbish!
