skinny tape

Narrow tapes use a few common materials and constructions. Materials include gel, plastic, and standard pressure-sensitive adhesives. Constructions mentioned include nano-gel layers (sometimes with a PVC backing) and polyester or other mesh reinforcement to increase strength and durability.

Mesh-reinforced nano-gel skinny tapes are described as washable and reusable. Typical care is rinsing the tape under warm water and air-drying; doing so can restore tack and allow many reuses. Some listings also note the tape removes cleanly and can be reapplied; follow the manufacturer’s reuse instructions.
