Kicking off the DON”T BUY THIS EVER category of new product review section.
There are some things that are so awful they inspire me to proselytize:
Seals NOTHING
Now, I normally do things right. Where caulk is called for, I caulk away.
In this circumstance I had a large gap in the corners of my basement laundry area. The contractor who put the mostly waterproof panels on the wall didn’t make sure the corners were tight. Would have required a 1.5″ bead of caulk. So this product seemed like it was going to come to the rescue. Hell, if it could be used in a bathroom tub it should be able to handle the once in a while moisture of the laundry area.
WRONG!
After careful installation, the strips pulled away from the corners and left a nasty bad awful trail of thick adhesive. So the adhesive stuck just fine to my surface, but not to the product itself!
At least two hours of my life were lost trying to carefully scrape away the adhesive with a razor blade. As I would slice the adhesive off, it would flop back onto the surface and require a whole new round of slicing. Pulled off the wall, the stuff could be rolled around on your fingers, sucking all the oil and moisture from them but wouldn’t lose any amount of its stickiness!
So despite infinite amounts of sticking power, the products fails on itself.
