The white general usage exterior tape is the perfect choice for sealing panel joints on plywood, foam boards or OSB panels without the need for a primer. See OSB application notes below.

OSB application issues: OSB varies from mill to mill across the US. In most cases, Wigluv will bond to the smooth face of OSB without issues. Please test your application and if you have doubts about the bond after 24 hrs, please prime the joint with SIGA Dockskin primer. Once primed, Any SIGA tape will adhere to the rough surface of OSB and bond well.

eXCELENT TAPE
I used this for sealing the envelop of a high altitude hut in the mountains. It works great at various temps, it is sticking to almost anything, it is wide enough but not too wide, is is flexible so you can cover stuff, it is elastic so it works to seal around doors or other protrusions that move. Excellent to seal doors, windows, skylights, etc. Although there are a few products that SIGA offers for different applications, I found that the white tape is the most versatile and this is why it is the one I keep on hand. Although this is not cheap it is worth all the money and you will not regret buying it. I wish I knew about it sooner.

Siga Review
I have used Siga Wigluv exterior tape on everything from OSB, plywood, solid sawn lumber, and even with the primer at the transition from top of concrete foundation to sill plate/rim joist. The primer for OSB and concrete works excellent.

Great tape, easy to use
This tape is great for air sealing, very easy to use and sticks where it is supposed to.

Taping OSB
I used this product to tape 100 36" triangles on a dome roof of OSB board. The tape worked as advertised and I was very pleased. You have to be careful not to peel off to much backing especially in windy conditions. If it rolls on itself you will have to cut it off. If you wear shorts, watch out. I have a couple strips of no hair. After a couple hours baking in the sun it was impossible to remove it from over runs which should be a clue as to how well it will stay in place.

great product
Had my builder install this over our advantech sheathing. It has been exposed for about a month, and it is still sticking perfectly. He was really impressed.
