Question 1

Is this item suitable for use in stained glass

Accepted Answer

We have not used it on stained glass but I caqn say that it is reasonably flexible making me suspect that you can. Hint: we had leaded windows in our last house, withthe leading applied to the external face of the double glazzing. Due to the age of the leading and our window clearners using long poles off the ground, the leading broke in a small number of places. I found that the rolls of replacement leading were very easy to profile where the leading went over another line of leading. The trick is to use a plastic tool to pushthe lead strip in firmly atthe start of going over and keeping that pressure  applied there, take the new lead over the top of the other lead line, push this down to attach then hold that down while using the plastic tool to push in on the new lead at the other side of the other line of lead. Make sure that the edge of the plastic tool is rounded, not sharp. The adhesive is good enough to cope with the weather conditions we had there: open meadow land so wind and blowing rain, all in north Staffordshire at an off-shoot of the Pennines. H

Question 2

What is the thickness of this copper tape?

Accepted Answer

Now that is a good question. This tape is a thin copper foil. I would guess that it is thinner than cooking foil and probably the thickness of sellotape or similar. Having said that, it appears to be quite robust.

Question 3

Has anyone tried using this tape on the outside of fabric raised vegetable beds? If so did it work?

Accepted Answer

I purchased this tape to place it in the "U" shaped void under the patio doors.  We still see some slug trails, so I'm not 100% convinced this works.   Either that, or they are coming in from a different area that is not obvious to us...!

Question 4

Slugs have found their way into a kitchen cupboard. Can I use tape?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure it will stop them getting into a cupboard unless you know the exact point of entry and put some tape there.  It is a fairly good preventative measure, but certainly not full-proof.  I personally wouldn't want it showing on the outside of my cupboards for aesthetic reasons.  Sorry, I can't be of more help, but I have only ever used it for plant containers outside.
