Evo Stik Roll Grey Flashband 50mm X 10m 196506

I read the reviews of this product before buying, but decided to ignore the (few) bad negative reviews. My mistake. The product has ZERO adhesive property! It is at best 'tacky' but not enough to bond to anything. As an experiment; I stuck 4 equal length sheets across the seams on my shed roof - one was straight from the roll, the second straight from the roll using a wedge of wood to press it down, the third i heated with a hairdryer, the fourth i stuck in an oven to heat through... NONE OF THEM STUCK. In fact, the PostIt note that I stuck as a joke lasted till morning where the evo stick didn't. Don't waste your time or money

I was very impressed with this product. It was of course the reputable Evo Stik brand so I did have the confidence to purchase this in the first instance. I used it, amongst other tasks to repair a number of leaks on my uvpc/ plastic shed. I gave the area in question, a wipe over with a dampened Turpentine rag, placed the flash in position by gently tapping it with my fingers. Thereafter, pressed it along the surface with a small piece of timber, the same process could be achieved with a wallpaper seam roller, and it adhered perfectly. Would most definitely recommend it.

I have some patches on my shed roof that I wanted to cover, to save me replacing the felt completely at this time.This is fairly adhesive but best to apply in warmer weather as this helped it bond to the roof. It was easy to apply. I just measured the spaces I wanted it to cover and used household scissors to cut to length. It is then as simple as removing the film over the adhesive side and applying to the roof. Some moderate pressure is required to ensure it sticks well.This has been in my roof for over a month now and has stayed in place. Even during some sting winds. My shed is fairly exposed so takes a lot of battering In the wind and rain. Not one piece has moved and the shed has remained waterproof since it was applied.This is a very handy item for small tears and cracks in roof felt but if you have big holes it will not help.I would purchase again and good value for money.

This is good and effective BUT you must heat it first, otherwise it's about as tacky as a post-it note. You don't have to use a specialist tool to do this, I used a portable electric fan heater on "high" and I imagine a hairdryer would also do the trick.Provided you heat it and apply straight away, then heat it in situ the tape will bond well. I've just fixed a hole in my house roof lining with it and now the tape is cold it's stuck fast.

It completely resolved a rather excessive drip from my conservatory roof...very sticky and easy to use. We have had very heavy rain since and still no leak. I am very happy with this product!!
