Shurtape PE 900 Marine Shrink Wrap Tape | 105744
Shurtape PE 900 Marine Shrink Wrap Tape | 105744 — Product description
Shurtape's PE 900 is the blue seaming tape that holds a shrink-wrap job together. If you wrap boats for winter storage, this is the tape that seals your seams, patches a tear, and takes a heat gun without letting go. 180 feet of 5.66-inch-wide, 9-mil blue film with a synthetic rubber adhesive built for the outdoors.
The Shurtape PE 900 is a marine shrink-wrap preservation tape, the blue stuff you see running down the seams of a shrink-wrapped boat in a winter storage yard. It's built for one job: sealing polyethylene shrink film so the cover stays watertight through months of wind, rain, snow, and sun. If you shrink-wrap boats, or you're wrapping your own for the off-season, this is a working tape, not a general-purpose roll.
Here's where it earns its keep. You use it to seam two sheets of film together, to patch a tear before it spreads, to bundle and wrap loose ends, and to seal down edges around the hull. The 9-mil polyethylene backing matches the film itself, so when you hit it with a heat gun the tape moves with the wrap instead of bubbling off. The synthetic rubber adhesive grabs cold film and holds through temperature swings. That matters in a yard where the cover sees 20 degrees one week and 60 the next.
The roll is 180 feet long and 5.66 inches wide, which is a generous width for covering a seam with room on both sides. It's 9 mil thick, so it's got body and won't tear when you pull it tight over a corner. The clear synthetic rubber adhesive stays put but doesn't gum up your hands. A serrated edge means you can tear it by hand without dragging a knife around the wrap. And the blue film is UV-resistant, so it doesn't chalk and fail after a few weeks in the sun the way a cheap tape will.
One thing worth being straight about: this is a seaming and repair tape for shrink film, not a substitute for the shrink film or the perimeter band. You still need the film and a heat gun to do the wrap. But when it comes time to seal the seams and lock the whole cover down, don't skimp here. A failed seam in February is a soaked interior by spring. We'd rather sell you the right tape once.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Shurtape PE 900 used for?
It's a marine shrink-wrap preservation tape for seaming, patching, repairing, bundling, wrapping, and sealing polyethylene shrink film. It's the blue tape that seals the seams on a shrink-wrapped boat.
How long and wide is the roll?
Each roll is 180 feet long and 5.66 inches wide, which gives you room to cover a seam with material on both sides.
Will it hold up outdoors through the winter?
Yes. The blue film is UV-resistant so it won't chalk out in the sun, and it forms a watertight seal with humidity resistance to keep moisture off a stored boat.
Does it work with a heat gun?
It does. The 9 mil polyethylene backing matches the shrink film, so it moves with the wrap under heat instead of bubbling or lifting off.
Does the adhesive stick in cold weather?
The synthetic rubber adhesive is made to grab cold film and hold through temperature swings, which is exactly what a winter storage yard throws at it.
Can I tear it by hand?
Yes. It has a serrated edge, so you can tear a length off by hand without dragging a blade around the wrap.
What color is it?
Blue, with a clear synthetic rubber adhesive on a polyethylene film backing.
