underbelly repair
Will Gorilla tape work on the plastic under belly? I have to cut it to access the plumbing and need to know what works for tape

- There is a woven tape made for this application. I don't know the name but any RV dealer should be able to tell you what it is. I used it on my last rv with great results.

Colo, based on a lot of experience, I have to say that I am disappointed in Gorilla tape in wet applications -- it does not stand up to the elements for very long. If it is applied in a place that is always dry, it is fine.
And I have not found any other duct tape type product that really stays put in wet places. So I will be reading this thread with great interest -- maybe there is a solution that I have overlooked!
I've had the same experience using Gorilla tape in this application.
There are exterior grade Duct tape's that are for use on roof top HVAC systems that might work. I costs more and is a thick, tar-like tape that is super sticky.
I bought it at Home Depot once by accident.
There's also a 6" wide tape for sealing around new windows during installation. I used it to seal the exposed back side of the tail lights in our TT and it's holding up fine.- Colo, based on a lot of experience, I have to say that I am disappointed in Gorilla tape in wet applications -- it does not stand up to the elements for very long.
