It's not often the word revolutionary can be associated with duct tape, that old, sticky standby used in plumbing repairs, hockey stick augmentation, and homeland security protection. By getting the gray out--and avoiding the "sore thumb" look of typical duct tape repairs--3M's Scotch Transparent Duct Tape can indeed lay claim to a revolution of the toolbox. But seeing through it is just the start. This duct tape can be easily torn by hand, is UV resistant, and, through accelerated weathering tests, has been shown to last six times longer than its old-school namesake.

Duct tape has been around since 1942 when the military needed a waterproof tape for sealing ammunition boxes. Originally colored green, it was referred to as "duck tape" due to its moisture resistance as well as its cotton duck construction--the same ribbed cloth used in bandages. After the war, it was adopted by contractors working in the booming housing industry, where it got its "duct" name for easily connecting heating and air conditioning ducts.

History's fine, but what can 3M's new, clear duct tape do for us? Virtually anything. First, we noticed its powerful stickiness--the roll itself adheres to just about any surface when laid on its side. As advertised, the tape was easily torn from the roll by hand with minimal force. 3M also seems to have ironed out one of the biggest complaints about duct tape: wrinkles. In our testing, we applied it repeatedly and evenly without the tape sticking to itself and without creating odd bumps and creases. And while the tape is rather sticky, it doesn't go overboard, easily lifting off surfaces when we needed it to and not leaving the tacky, viscous residue often found with other duct tapes.

As for its transparency, the tape blended well into just about any surface we applied it to. It was never "invisible" but did have the chameleon-like quality of reflecting the surface beneath it and only calling attention to itself when caught in direct light. Also, we placed bands of the tape over our computer monitor before writing this review (don't try this at home, kids). Peering through the fabric ribs was a nuisance, but we were able to compose the description you're now reading. How's that for transparency?

Our only complaint is that, as with most transparent tapes, finding where to start peeling the roll can be difficult. While this certainly isn't a showstopper, we did find a solution: mounting the roll onto a tape gun.

Tape, by its nature, is not a terribly exciting product (or topic). But 3M's Scotch Transparent Duct Tape is truly a tipping-point entrant, one that may someday become ubiquitous and banish gray duct tape to the nether reaches of our tool sheds, and memories. --Agen G.N. Schmitz

Pros:

  • Transparent, easily blends into the surface background
  • Easily torn from the roll with minimal force
  • Sticky, but not too sticky
  • Adheres smoothly without wrinkles or creases Cons:
    • So transparent that finding where to start peeling the roll can be difficult

Customers like the quality of the office products. They mention that it works out great, works great as transparent duct tape, and is excellent. It's great for regular ductape repairs, and also for repairs you'd never use the product for. The repair is hardly noticeable, and it fixes broken toys, shelves that your kids mess up, and chairs that are broken.

119 customers mention48 positive71 negative

Customers are mixed about the transparency of the office product. Some mention that it is semi-transparent and amazingly strong, while the tape itself is relatively transparent. The backing material is clear, but the tape is not completely transparent. However, it hides all uneven places where the tape didn't quite line up, making it a heck of a lot less noticeable.

"...It's not completely transparent like packaging tape, but you don't notice it either. Great product." Read more

"...It may not look that great but the transparent isn’t too noticeable and it is a laundry room after all...." Read more

"...It is not really transparent, but translucid enough to blend in. Easier to hand cut, did not leave a slim stray strip on a side like many tapes do...." Read more

"...Because the tape is transparent, it does not look too ugly and isn't very noticeable unless you look closely...." Read more

57 customers mention38 positive19 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the value of the duct tape. Some say it's worth the price, while others say it isn't worth it, and it'd be better to replace the mat.

"...Every house should have at least one roll handy. It's definitely worth the price." Read more

"...It was not cheap, either...." Read more

"Anyone with kids must have some duck tape in the house! This stuff is awesome. You know those annoying LOUD toys your kid gets for Christmas?..." Read more

"...tape holds plastic in place on the bottom of the screens and saved me a bundle of money...." Read more

51 customers mention21 positive30 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the color of the duct tape. Some say that it looks better than grey or green, and it lets the underlying color shine through. However, others say that the white fibers show clearly, and that it's more white than transparent.

"...It may not look that great but the transparent isn’t too noticeable and it is a laundry room after all...." Read more

"...Because the tape is transparent, it does not look too ugly and isn't very noticeable unless you look closely...." Read more

"Love this stuff! It is not all clear and see thru if that is what you are looking for - you can see the threads in the tape - but it was not a deal..." Read more

"...lines you can see as well, so not crystal clear but blends in well with background colors and not as noticeable as other duct tapes are...." Read more

41 customers mention21 positive20 negative

Customers are mixed about the clarity of the product. Some mention that it's clear and they can see the material, while others say that it has lines going across it.

"...It's as good as any 3M duct tape and it's very clear...." Read more

Decal peels off!!
5 Stars
Decal peels off!!
Size small fits child size 6-7. My child loved it when received for Christmas but is now very sad that after washing and drying it the very first time it’s ruined! Decal peeled off and is obviously very cheaply made. Not happy - and now have to return.
