Sika Everbuild Black Jack Strong Self Adhesive Flashing Tape – Natural Lead-Look Finish – 75mm x 10m

Bought this instead of the branded expensive post protector sleeves. I can get 14 x 6” posts wrapped from this one roll at a fraction of the cost. It is not adhesive so I warmed it with a blowtorch first to make it tacky, then after wrapping the posts I applied more heat to melt the bitumen. Quite a neat job, no idea if it will work but it’s a good thick layer of bitumen on the post at the end of the day so should do the job. I will let you know if the posts rot!

I used it on my plastic roof where the joints were leaking. now there's no leaks. easy to apply, sticks very well. make sure it's right first time, once it's on it doesn't come off. I found warming it and using a seam roller helped. how it works after some weathering I can't say.

I used this internally to cover a rip in felt in a roof cavity. This isn't exposed to water (quite high up the roof tiles) and the repair was mainly to prevent birds entering the cavity before insulation and installing new plaster board. We've found a bird flying round the room on multiple occasions due to the plaster board being down for replacement! I had no problem with adhesion in this case. The tape doesn't stick very well immediately but after heating with a hairdryer and applying pressure it stuck well. I then heated and pressed every few minutes until it was stuck solid. After a week the tape is still solid and I'm happy to seal up the cavity now. The tape roll is pretty big, it'll last for a while! Also cuts easily with scissors so easy to trim down to required size.

Good product,good guality thanks

Put some up to secure a felted roof to brick after adhesive failed. Its held up well through pretty strong winds and heavy rain so far. Did its job exactly as required

Only just got around to leaving a review to see if the tape held up ok and it is still where I put it!! Bought this tape to seal the edges of an old roof that is 10+ years old. the original seal with the wall was starting to come away in odd places so the tape was used to go over the old roof and brick work. How I used it.... I used it on a really hot sunny day, I left it out in the sun for a couple of hours to warm up. the brickwork and roof it went onto was also hot..... To start i tried using rubber gloves to handle it.... big mistake!! It stuck to the latex gloves like mad so soon scrapped them and used bare hands. I was cutting it with scissors but that is also a pain so I switched to a stanley knife blade and that was far easier. Cut off how much you need and peel of the backing tape ( this tended to grab in some areas and pulled off some of the black mastic material but there was still a lot left on the tape. I used a small roller to apply the tape to the wall and roof and get a good seal. If for some reason you drop it and touch something with the tape you shouldn't it will grab hold of everything and be a pain to get off so be careful. It is a little fiddly to use as it sticks like mad ( when warmed up ) I did apply it on a hot day and it is still where I put it so see what happens when it winter sets in.

I like this product. You can pre - size, mold into shape, self adhesive backing & does exactly what you buy it to do - keep water out. Great price point too.

Ich hatte mir vorgestellt ein Band aus Blei zu bekommen. Es ist aber ein Band aus einer teerartigen Substanz, die super zum abdichten im Außenbereich geeignet ist. Für meinen Zweck wäre ein Band aus Blei erforderlich gewesen, darum kann ich den gelieferten Artikel nicht gebrauchen.
