The tape held up to a literal blue flood of epoxy and that’s the important part. There’s minor adhesive residue on the material that I knew I would be re-sanding anyway so it’s not an issue.

Weather resistant and can be used in extreme temperatures. Then I knew right away I had a perfect fit. I was drawing a blank on something new and exciting until this happened. They contacted me a while back and asked if I could come up with a good shop application outside of normal uses. ![]() Well that heat unleashes the dogs of war on basic adhesives which explains why I had such an epic epoxy blow out.Įnter T-Rex Tape. It can be hot enough that it even melts a plastic mixing cup. Bill Nye the Science Guy will tell you that when mixing the two compounds to create Epoxy, there’s a chemical reaction that gives off heat ( especially with large batches). The layers upon layers of painter’s tape decided to go on strike and the adhesive gave up its grab and dumped the contents onto my custom made workbench. Then I sprung a major leak and my parents could hear me unleashing a stream of profanities that would even make my wife ( she cusses like a sailor, especially while driving) blush.

There’s a problem though, Epoxy is just generating too much heat for me to contain this budding relationship. It’s no wonder my wife has been sporadically dropping in during shop time. ![]() Don’t worry, it’s mostly professional ( mostly). From live edge desk inlays to cutting boards, epoxy and I have gotten a ton of one on one time in my shop recently. I can’t take my eyes off of it when I use it on my projects. Don’t tell my wife, but I have eyes for someone else.
