Frequently Asked Questions about Geko
How do I choose the right tape for my boat?
Choose tape based on the task: masking tape for painting, canvas tape or gaffa for repairs, and non-slip tape for smooth areas. Also, consider whether the tape needs to withstand sun, moisture, or wear.
What should I check before buying tape for boat use?
Check the tape's width and length, adhesive strength, color, and whether it is suitable for outdoor use. It is important to choose a tape that fits the specific purpose and environment on board.
What is the difference between canvas tape and gaffa?
Canvas tape and gaffa are similar, but gaffa is often stronger and more weather-resistant. Both types are used for temporary repairs and securing items, but gaffa is commonly chosen for tasks with heavier loads.
Can non-slip tape be used on all surfaces?
Non-slip tape can be used on most smooth and clean surfaces, but it is important to ensure that the substrate is dry and free of grease and dirt for optimal adhesion.
