Whenever I tow my symbol of fine American craftsmanship, my POS Mallard by Fleetwood travel trailer, I take several rolls along.
Near the end (fortunately) of my last trip in this horrid thing, I needed several rolls to secure a piece of aluminum siding that peeled off and wrapped around the awning upright much like a banana peel.
The tape worked much better than the overdriven narrow-crown staples that these fools use to "secure" thin aluminum siding against hurricane velocity winds.
What Robin needs to stock too is a solvent that will remove the adhesive while leaving the paint alone.
