Gorilla Tape

Postby NoMeansYes » Mon Jun 03, 2013 5:51 am

Anybody else have any experience with this? Used some a few days ago and I have to say it's easily the strongest, stickiest and most effective tape there is.

The only down side is that should you wish to use it as a gag, it might end up taking half your face off if you're not careful with removal, If anyone's searching for alternatives to regular duct tape then definitely give this stuff a go.

I use it on myself. You do need to be careful removing it, certainly no 'rrriiiiippp' like you see on TV with that stuff!. If you can get a corner loose, drip some water to help dissolve the glue.

I've used it as gagging material but it's not much of an exaggeration to say it will tear half your face off lol

Not really but it does like hell coming off if you just try to rip it off and I use it most of the time as an extra layer over normal Duct Tape to make my gag extra tight.

So my advice is if your gonna use it, tape it OVER another layer like duct tape or Suran Wrap.

Bet full body taping with this stuff must be murder - especially if you have any body hair! :lol:
Thank God it wasn't available in this country when i was a kid; getting regular duck tape off me was bad enough!!! :shock:

Actually the gorilla tape wasn't my idea...

Try Rust-O-Leum duct tape in the automotive dept. at WalMarts--it sticks better than duct tape but is a lot more forgiving than Gorilla tape.

How was that experience? You couldn't seperate your lips at all? Might have to get some of this tape

Christian, I STRONGLY advice you not to.

Or if you're going to make sure it's over something like Suran Wrap.

It was great, my hands were chained behind me so no messing with the tape, but correct. All I could do was move the sock around in my mouth, lips wouldn't part at all.

do not EVER get mummified in the stuff, if you are mummified on bare skin it hurts if you attempt to move at all including breathing... and it is pretty darn impossible to escape from without help, or a laser :P Kinda hard to use a laser though...

Funny, I've tried it and haven't found it sticks as well as a contractor grade of duct tape. I find with most any of it, if you puff up your cheeks and blow, it will come off, maybe it's cause I'm older and when the five o'clock shadow hits, it doesn't stick to my face as well when the whiskers start to grow back in. I find the best is any duct tape with plastic wrap over that, that's hard to get off! I'd like to find some stretchy medical tape that is really sticky but breathable in 3-4 inches wide.

Oof. Contractor grade. When I was young(er) and clueless, I once taped up my brother without realizing I was using that stuff. He had to sit in a bathtub for half an hour before it even began to loosen...

I have had gorilla tape over my lips before. Trust me, it is quite stickier than duct tape. I advice shaving your face if you are going to use it. Even on clean-shaven skin, I got red sometimes (though that probably has more to do with the veracity of the pulling when you take it off).

I would advice AGAINST using it as a wrap-around tape gag. That will rip hair out at the back. But in all honestly, I can see using a strip of gorilla tape over the lips going well. If I were to do a tape gag, I envision myself utilizing two strips as an x over the lips,, and then overlaying it with regular duct tape that you could find at walmart or something.

Has anyone ever tried medical kinesio sports tape?
