FibaTape FDW8436-U 2-Inch by 150-Feet Cement Board Tape-Alkali-Resistant/Self-Adhesive, Grey

Great product. Cheapest I could find as UK shops sell the much smaller rolls for the same price. Used with Hardie Backer cement boards in our bathroom.

It was to use on boards under new tiling. It did what it was meant to do... And was the most competitive priced I could find

this is an excellent scrim tape good price pretty quick delivery as it comes from the U S

good tape. good stick

Well I was humming and hawing whether or not to purchase this alkali resistant fiber tape or use regular drywall fiber tape on my up and coming cement board project. Reading some articles I did find out that alkali resistant tape will hold up better than the regular drywall fiber tape when it comes to using thinset. Some people stated they used regular drywall fiber tape and found no issues but if it slowly breaks down the problems may take years to notice. It's more money and of course the reason I pondered using the other. Alkali resistant is recommended by most manufacturers so in my mind its better to be safe than sorry.

Excellent!!! Sticks very well. I've used a few other brands of alkali resistant tape and I love this one. It sticks, it's soft and the fibers can be twisted a bit so that it molds into corners, around curves, over uneven spaces. The other tapes all had a hard netting where the "squares" in the tape stayed square so I would end up with little wrinkles in the tape that poked up. Very annoying. I was also able to peel this tape off and then reset it and have it stay stuck after the third time. Some of the other tapes didn't stay up the first time. Fantastic stuff. I used on hardibacker joint seams, along edges and to give some foundation to build up a layer of mortar for some mosaic tiles. They were slightly thinner than the rest of the tiles so needed a base to put them on. The tape worked great to keep the mortar base even.

I'm not personally using this stuff, but bought it for my tile installation contractor who is installing a ton of Durock at my house in preparation for large format tile. I had bought some other tape from one of the big box stores that was fiberglass that only came in 50 foot rolls, and the contractors like this stuff WAY better. So much more that they more or less begged that I order additional rolls. They said it was some of the best joint tape they had ever used (They both have over 20 years experience each). They said it sticks really well and stays flat when mudding over it which saves time not having to come back and rub high spots in the seams down once the thinset cures. Good stuff! Buy it!

I used this tape to reinforce a RC truck body. This tape sticks to the body much better than regular drywall mesh tape. Definitely recommended for this application. Used in conjunction with E-6000. I'll use shoe goo with this for my next reinforcement job.

Doesn’t stick very well
