Got a roll of mystery tape and not sure what it is?
Our Founder Ian has a clever trick up his sleeve — it’s called the sniff test! Yep, sometimes the nose knows best. Different adhesives have distinct smells and with a quick sniff you can usually tell whether it is acrylic, hotmelt or natural rubber.
Acrylic Adhesive
“A striking burnt paint smell”
Hotmelt Adhesive
“Definitely rubber, tyre like smell”
Natural Rubber Adhesive
“Smells like rubber but appearance is a darker brown shade of clear than hotmelt”
