Excellent value for 2 mil (.002" thickness) Copper tape

I bought a roll of this tape to repair and modify printed circuit boards, and it worked as expected. One of my peeves when shopping for this was that many sellers are cryptic about the exact details of these products, like the actual copper thickness. The first thing I did when this arrived was cut a piece from the roll, remove the backer and then completely removed the glue layer with an appropriate solvent. This allowed me to measure the actual thickness of the copper layer. To my surprise, it was .002" (2 mils) thick, twice what many of the lower-prices tapes measure. I'd encourage the seller to include this detail in their specifications (and verify that dimension on every new lot of copper tape before selling it). A couple of notes on using this tape for electrical/electronic applications: 1) The glue is conductive, but don't count on it or use it as a current carrying element. The glue may be acceptable for overlapping in a Faraday box, but NOT for current carrying connections. 2) This copper tape solders well, but works best with an adjustable temperature iron. Keep the temp as low as possible while still producing good joints. he tape is thin enough that higher temperatures can damage the tape (learned the hard way). TIP: When soldering two tapes together, you can get a much nicer looking joint by using a flux pen (No clean flux, preferably)to apply a thin stripe of flux on the joint. Not too much, or it will run where you don't want it (try this on scraps first). Solder will flow first wherever you apply the flux, as long as you don't over-solder the joint. 3) The glue on this tape is average for this type of product. When you solder to this tape, the glue WILL melt, and if you solder the same spot repeatedly, it WILL lose its holding power. The end of a strip can move while soldering, so be quick and careful--another good reason to use a minimalist solder approach. Overall, this is a great product and for what it is the price is more than fair. Quit reading reviews and buy it! D.

Excellent quality tape with excellent results

I purchased this shielding tape to reduce the RF noise on a cheap Fender Mexican Stratocaster I recently purchased. When I removed the pick guard I had discovered there was zero foil shielding of any type. The cavity was simply sprayed black. I was pleased at the amount of copper conductive tape I received with my order. The combination of thin and thick tape rolls were plenty to cover the entire body cavity of this guitar, as well as the bottom of the pick guard, with lots left over for the next guitar. The thin roll allowed me to shield all the tight spaces around the corners and ground wiring. To begin, I simply vacuumed the guitar cavity to remove dust and debris, then wiped it down with a damp cloth. The copper tape adhered perfectly to the wood cavity and plastic pick guard. Overall, my work shielding this guitar with this copper tape was pretty much effortless.

Perfect for making Jewelry and DIY Projects !!!!!

I recieved the package in perfect shape. The copper tape is not hard to separate from the paper back .The back is sticky but notcrazy sticky .Just enough for the copper tape to stick well to the crystals with a little pressure .Love that it comes in the 2 separate sizes to use , if you need to cut the Copper Tape, its perfectly okay to do so.It cuts easy and it doesn't interfere with the stickiness of the copper tape .I will be buying more of this in the future !!!Great price ,Great Product !!!

Good Stuff.

Great seller, very fast shipping.There is no substitute for effective shielding, and this product makes the process easy and effective. No affect on tone, except that it causes the noise to part like the Red Sea and allow the true guitar tone on my Strat to ring out, with vintage single coils, non-reverse middle pup. I checked the conductivity of the guitar when I was done and it was very good throughout, no need for soldering except where I ran a wire to ground, an added plus was the value and the fact you get the ¼ inch tape for a nice finish on the lips and borders.

Works great and fast shipping

Shipped quickly. Adhesive works great. Fixed my rear defrost that the car wash has now damaged twice. Although not made for this purpose was a great fix. If it were to break I have plenty to repair again if needed. Soldered the connector to it. Make sure to clean with something like Flux off and it adheres first time without any issue.

Excellent Choice!

Pretty good value: stated as such is an understatement. I am using it as shielding from magnetic interference. Works as good, or as well as expected. Easy to work with. I will DEFINITELY order the exact same item from the exact same seller all over again when it is time to re-order. I couldn't be happier. The 1 inch roll is a slightly thicker gauge or so it seems that the 1/4 inch, but their flexibility is just fine. You shouldn't have any problems with that as if it were a thinner gauge it could get messy.

Permanent Slug Repellent

It appears to work as a slug repellent (as recommended by several gardening sites). Run the tape around a pot & slugs won't cross it. It's only been a few weeks and the plants look healthier already. Easy to apply, safe & long lasting.

Copper.

Not a whole lot to say about it I suppose. Its copper. Note that it is bare copper and will tarnish and darken... there is no plastic lamination on top of it, which is likely what you would want as a bug barrier or whatever.

Nice

Applied to pots to protect plants from slugs n snails. Easy to apply. Sharp edges. Be careful.

Good EMI Shielding

Works good for emi shielding where protection of sensitive RF components are placed in plastic project boxes. Lining the inside plastic areas work very well. This copper tape is the best choice for the above.
