Our company uses this tape to join several pieces together instead of strapping and it works very well. We noticed if you are not careful the filaments will unravel unevenly and a lot of tape is wasted to straighten it out.
This tape has the fiberglass filaments running lengthwise and it is good in that direction. However there are no filaments running perpendicular or at right angles and therefore it lacks strength of fibers in that direction.
