Kraftex 2" Copper Tape

I used it around my rabbit's hutch, and its brilliant. Apparently slugs love rabbit food, and are willing to slime up a two tier rabbit hutch and squish through the wire to fill their foot mouths! I am used to fighting a battle with my plants, but really! I had to go out every night and hunt them, not hard as they were either climbing up, squishing through or covering the bowl and all around it. The rabbits have absolutely no table manners and dig through their food so its everywhere, they're idiots too! On one night I went out and filled a takeaway container, twice, and I mean filled. I then found out that just as in the case with dogs, slugs can cause rabbits to be extremely ill. So one night against my principles but in keeping to Supernatural (tv show) I encircled to hutch with salt, therefore making it the slugs own fault if they went over to certain death. Some of the little gastropods must have been on the underside of the hutch, little suckers, but was a lot better. Salt is fine until it rains and the salt goes plus the horrific slug death! However bought this stuff and stuck it around both layers of the hutch. Very easy to put it place with a very easy backing. No slugs, absolutely none and if one tries, it gets an electric shock, so basically tasered, I can live with that. Don't know how long the tape will last, it has started going green as copper does when outside but I can't see any difference on slug watch.

Tape was good for what i needed

I purchased the copper foil tape to help with a problem I have had in a new flat which came with slugs! The things is, I had no idea how to deal with the problem and I had to find some way of getting rid without becoming a hit-man in the slug world. I had found after reading that they don't get along well with copper and so I decided to see whether the tape would work. I wanted a safe way to deal with them as I did not want to use toxic pellets on them and this was a safer option on the little slimes. I am sure so far making a good perimeter and covering crevices and gaps has worked. The tape itself is not too wide in width and so it is not too overly intrusive to look at when I go in to the kitchen. I also after using a decent amount of tape had enough for making a perimeter around my plant pots to prevent any of my plants getting slugged! The kitchen was the only place of which was where I was finding the slimy fiends and now I've noticed a great difference and no more trails left on the kitchen rugs. It could be safe to say the copper tape may had did the trick of making them disappear. I think I got my monies worth, but I can't be sure. All in all, I will give a 4 star. I will give the rating for the price, quality and ease of use. The slugs however give it a 1 and rate it the worst product ever made. :)

Perfect for guitar shielding.

Very good

I bought this to get rid of slugs getting into the food in my cats shelter.. Started off ok, for a day or two no slugs but low and behold they are back last night had 4 of the bleeders. am about to see if I have missed anywhere round the opening that they could be getting in but I don't think so. I think I have super slugs that are immmune to this copper foil and beer. nothing seems to deter them.

Brill

Cheap em.shieldingnfor audio cables that run across pc cases and can pick up interference from gcards.and power supplies. Just make sure you have a grounding wire at one end otherwise this won't do anything.

I was kind of upset when I first got this product. For some odd reason I thought it was 1 1/2" or 2" wide and knew it was a good length but made the mistake of judging by the picture instead of reading the description so it was my fault. However, the main image is misconceiving and either angled, zoomed and cropped just right or that of an actual larger roll. I feel that amazon should require the dimensions or some sort of scale in the main pictures of smaller items that come in various sizes, this would apply to a lot of items but eliminate mistakes. I've made this mistake with other items before this so shame on me. It's a good product and gets 5 stars. •the thickness is just right in terms of strength and ability to apply it to various objects. The pic of the shielding on the guitar is a good example. •the number of uses for this product is why I bought it and besides inspecting it have used it yet, but it's there when I need it. •quick shipping and good packaging, which is important since foil tapes can be a real pain if the roll gets mangled. •Concerning those using this for slugs, mainly the ones who posted pictures saying it doesn't work. There doesn't seem to be any scientific proof on how this repels those creepy crawlers, but my guess would be that they are unable to stick to it properly. I say that from having fished on Lake Ontario where an invasive, foreign "sea flea" has invaded the waters. Using standard plastic line, it's amazing how strong these things that seems like seaweed can stick to your line. To combat them, fisherman use copper fishing line which they have a much harder time sticking to, if at all. So if you're going to wrap a tree, don't do it like the one guy who posted a picture. Having multiple wraps on a textured surface shows to be ineffective since the can probably just get by with help from the edges of tape that overlap that much and the tree texture may help also. A better approach would be wrapping the tree with something else first that will span the ridges and offer a smooth surface to apply the copper tape to. A wide roll of electrical tape stretched tightly around the tree a few times should work As for the picture of a snail on a windowsill, well, I think gravity beats your setup. I think it would work better on a vertical surface. Also, since I'm only guessing at this and possibly just wrong. Another theory that the tape messes with their senses due to the conductivity of copper, also exists. It doesn't look like these two different setups are grounded. It would be interesting to see if the results change once these setups are grounded. Just use the tape to attach a small wire onto the surface of the barrier, then run the wire to the ground plus an extra few inches and strip off any coating or jacket on the wire , take about six inches of tap and fold it back onto itself with the wire sandwiched in between the two layers which should leave you with a three inch strip of tape attached to the wire sitting in the ground. Dig a small hole to fit the conductor plate you just made, inside of it and fill it back in. That will put a small amount of voltage into your shield and that may be the trick. Hope you don't mind my suggestions for improvement and would love to know if either method made a difference. I'd try grounding it first since that require the least amount of modification. Good luck.

I ordered this product to try alongside another. Adhesive capacity was weak (in my experience). Tore far too easily (like aluminium foil). Picked up odd stains. I would not purchase again.

Me sirvió muy bien para una guitarra que no estaba bien blindada, las pastillas ya no hacen ruido. El pegamiento de la cinta no impide la conexión, o sea, se pueden pegar pedazos en cima de otros.

Great tape. Sticks and holds great perfect width for my crafting.

El producto sirve perfectamente y tiene buen agarre, es facil de colocar con un poco de atención. Es delgado y por eso se adapta perfectamente y cumple su proposito muy bien
