Kraftex Copper Tape [1/4" x108ft, 2PK] – Copper Foil Tape for Stained Glass, DIY Crafts, Guitar Shielding, Slug Control & Faraday Projects

I used this to shield the control cavity and pickup routes of a guitar I was rewiring. I noticed it is quite a bit thinner than the stuff I'm used to getting, and initially I thought "well they did state the thickness, my bad, guess this stuff is just lightweight for drones/RC stuff" but I used it anyway, and boy am I glad I did. Due to the thinness, it was WAY easier to mold to the contours and get it to lay flat than the old stuff I had (which was quite a bit thicker.) The adhesive is very good and had no problem sticking to paint and also bare wood, and I tested for continuity across the first piece to the last, with no solder bridges, and it was a complete circuit. I had no issues with tearing or damage related to it being thinner, either. It was just easier to work with - and I suppose if you are shielding a drone or RC vehicle the light weight would be appreciated. In short, it does everything copper shielding tape should. The thickness should have no bearing on the effect of blocking noise and my results were impressive - the guitar is now super quiet, even on a high-gain setting and when not touching the strings/bridge to ground them.

shipped and delivered quickly. Really works to keep snails from climbing up the sides of house. Have used it for years.

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 have used this to improve the RFID blocking in my wallet and other cases where bad actors can get to my sensitive info and credit cards. I don't trust all the advertising about such products made in Adia as I have found problems with manufacturing of most other products from there these days. I double the tape over on itself - sticky side against sticky side, cut to size and then cover with clear packing tape. I've found that the packing tape helps the thing last much much longer. Be warned, this tape is very thin and tears very very easily, so you need a steady hand for what I describe above. I would not recommend for other uses without layering over a few times.

It’s actually real copper tape. The thickness is perfect for wrapping around items because it does not tear but yet it’s flexible enough to bend.

This winter I have been battling snails. None of the organic Snail Baits have been sufficient, and I have lost several plants to snail damage. This tape is cheap enough to use in longer strips to apply to the outside of metal cages, that are necessary for rabbit deterrance. The copper will not affect the snails but prevent them from crossing the barrier. It is easy to separate from its backing and the adhesion is good.

Easy to use. Sticked perfectly to acrylic add…

Good item looking forward to using this in jewelry design among other projects.

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.

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
