Duct Tape has a great reputation, so I sought this particular brand when shopping for something to patch my vinyl floor mat in my kitchen. The tape came today, and I ripped it open to use immediately, since I have scrubbed the surface of the mat clean and dust free to be ready for the patch. I was AMAZED that the red matches the mat exactly, and unless the light hits it just right, you can't even see the patches. And it sticks well and responded well to me using the back of a knife to ensure the edges were well secured.
