Gorilla Tape Tough & Wide 73mm x 27m is an extra-wide, heavy-duty adhesive tape designed to stick to rough, porous and imperfect surfaces where ordinary tapes can struggle.

At 73mm (3 inches) wide, Tough & Wide provides significantly more surface coverage, making it ideal for larger repairs, patching, reinforcing, bundling and demanding jobs around the home, workshop or job site.

The tape features a double-thick adhesive for powerful grip on challenging surfaces, combined with a tough all-weather outer shell that creates a tighter barrier against moisture and provides enhanced UV resistance.

A high-fibre-count, cloth-reinforced backing delivers excellent strength and durability while still allowing the tape to be conveniently torn by hand when required.

Each roll measures 73mm wide x 27m long, providing a generous quantity of professional-strength tape for demanding indoor and outdoor repairs.

For anyone searching for Gorilla Tape, extra wide duct tape, heavy duty tape, waterproof repair tape, strong adhesive tape, all weather tape or 3 inch Gorilla Tape, Gorilla Tape Tough & Wide provides exceptional strength and versatility.

Size

Width: 73mm / 3 inches
Length: 27 metres
Tape Type: Heavy-duty reinforced adhesive tape

The extra-wide 73mm format provides greater coverage than conventional narrow repair tapes, making it particularly useful for larger repairs.

Double-Thick Adhesive

Gorilla Tape Tough & Wide features a double-thick adhesive layer designed to provide powerful adhesion to difficult surfaces.

Where ordinary tapes may struggle to establish a reliable bond, Gorilla Tape is designed to grip challenging materials and textures.

This makes it particularly useful for repairs involving:

• Rough surfaces

• Porous materials

• Uneven surfaces

• Imperfect surfaces

• Textured materials

• Demanding repair applications

Extra Wide 3-Inch Gorilla Tape

At approximately 3 inches (73mm) wide, Gorilla Tape Tough & Wide provides greater coverage with each strip.

The additional width is particularly useful for:

• Larger holes and tears

• Wider joints

• Patching

• Reinforcement

• Bundling

• Covering larger damaged areas

• Jobs where fewer strips of tape are preferred

This makes Tough & Wide a practical choice when standard-width tape does not provide enough coverage.

Tough All-Weather Shell

Gorilla Tape Tough & Wide features a durable all-weather outer shell designed for demanding conditions.

The tough exterior helps create a tighter barrier against moisture while also providing increased resistance to UV exposure.

This makes the tape suitable for many compatible indoor and outdoor repair applications.

Strong Reinforced Backing

The tape uses a high-fibre-count cloth-reinforced backing, providing excellent tensile strength and durability.

This reinforcement helps the tape resist demanding conditions while supporting strong repairs and reinforcement jobs.

Despite this strength, Gorilla Tape Tough & Wide can still be ripped by hand, so a cutting tool is not always required during application.

Ideal for Rough & Porous Surfaces

One of Gorilla Tape's key advantages is its ability to adhere to surfaces that may be difficult for conventional tapes.

Its thick adhesive helps establish contact across irregular textures, making it ideal for rough, porous and imperfect surfaces.

Surface condition can still affect adhesion, so loose contamination, dust, oil and moisture should be removed where practical before application.

Moisture Resistant

The tough outer shell provides a strong barrier against moisture, making Gorilla Tape Tough & Wide useful for many repairs exposed to changing environmental conditions.

For applications involving continuous water immersion, pressurised water or critical waterproofing, always check Gorilla's technical recommendations to confirm suitability.

Enhanced UV Resistance

Outdoor tape can be exposed to significant sunlight over time.

Gorilla Tape Tough & Wide provides higher UV resistance, helping it withstand demanding outdoor conditions better than many ordinary general-purpose tapes.

Strong but Easy to Tear by Hand

Heavy-duty strength doesn't necessarily mean difficult application.

Although the tape has a strong reinforced backing, it is designed so that it can be torn by hand, allowing quick application without always needing scissors or a knife.

Ideal For

• Heavy-duty repairs

• Rough surfaces

• Porous surfaces

• Uneven and imperfect materials

• Larger patching jobs

• Reinforcement

• Bundling

• Workshop repairs

• DIY projects

• Maintenance work

• Indoor repairs

• Compatible outdoor repairs

• Jobs requiring extra-wide tape

• Applications requiring strong adhesive grip

How to Use

• Ensure the surface is suitable for adhesive tape.

• Remove loose dirt, dust, grease and other contamination where possible.

• For best adhesion, apply to a clean and appropriately dry surface unless Gorilla's instructions specify otherwise.

• Tear or cut the required length of tape.

• Position the tape carefully over the repair or bonding area.

• Press the tape firmly onto the surface.

• Apply pressure across the complete width of the tape to maximise adhesive contact, particularly on rough or uneven surfaces.

• Avoid unnecessary repositioning once firm pressure has been applied.

• For critical repairs, check Gorilla's technical guidance for material and application compatibility.

• Always follow the manufacturer's complete usage instructions.

Gorilla Tape Tough & Wide vs Standard Duct Tape

Ordinary duct tape is useful for many everyday jobs, but challenging surfaces and demanding repairs may require greater strength.

Gorilla Tape Tough & Wide combines:

Double-thick adhesive for increased grip
High-fibre-count backing for greater strength
All-weather shell for demanding conditions
73mm width for greater coverage
Hand-tearable construction for convenient application

This makes it particularly suitable for heavier-duty applications where standard tape may not provide sufficient adhesion or durability.
