As someone who lives on the gulf coast...When you tape your windows, its not to make it unbreakable, but rather so it doesn't shatter so very much. And you normally put large X's on the outside and inside. If you are trying to make it where you windows don't break. You buy Plywood and tack them over your windows.
This. I don't know why this confuses so many people. It's as if they've never heard of laminated glass before. That's what the tape is mimicking, but extremely cheaply and not see thru. It's not going to prevent your windows from shattering or objects coming through. But it will prevent shards of glass from blowing through your house if it does break. In my experience, it has actually prevented smaller objects from coming through. The glass stays together, but gets dented in and held through the night. I personally use painters tape and do full coverage, outside and in.
@@TheDivisionAgent I've seen this claim mentioned often, every season in fact, but when I have looked, I can't find any studies on the matter. The few video experiments I have found, conduct the tests quite poorly.
@@Cthulhu013 Well that's because it's settled science by now. It's why car windows are laminated, it causes glass to shatter in a safer way. No one bothers doing experiments on it anymore because that work was done long ago when car manufacturers studied it decades ago. Although it doesn't need to really be said but, there's a lot of myths that still exist even after over hundreds of years of them being disproven thoroughly. For example there's people who genuinely believe the earth is flat...
My husband and I have been supporting TilValhalla for about 2 years now. I have a lot of military in my family and my husband himself is a veteran. We will support this charity forever.
I'd like to say that my family was a recipient of one of the plaques at the beginning of the video. My brother served in the navy and took his life from major depressive disorder and also PTSD. Tll' Valhalla Has helped our family and many others remember our fallen loved ones and to give a little hope that someone out there cares. It's been 3 years since everything has happened, but if you can, please support the sponsor, they genuinely help those who need it most. I hope everyone is well, but I figured I'd drop that here.
I think the tape has been busted on other channels no matter what pattern you apply it. A single tape ain't gonna keep your windows intact in a hurricane. Things like triple glazing and screens are a much better option.
I imagine the purpose of the tape is more to keep the glass shards all together opposed to having it blasted all over your house and it also slows down the speed which the glass gets blasted out so you're less likely to have a shard of glass bury itself in you
Yeah this tape is just meant to keep large chunks of glass from flying through your house durring huricanes and keep the glass more together so there is also less of a mess to clean after. It is NOT meant to stop things from coming through the window, its just meant to make the glass of the window somewhat safer, and like others said you can just use any type of ductape or similar tape. He will probably be redoing this video cause he completely missed the point of the tape, although realistically any tape can do the job its just that this tape is good since it doesnt leave a residue on the window so its easier to clean after it all blows over.
Tyler, I like many others skip through your commercials, but I actually did watch this one and I will most certaintly support the mission. You see, I am an active duty service member serving in Japan, but my job involves air cargo (onloading and offloading aircraft) and about once or twice a month, we will have to upload caskets (aka Human remains) onto aircrafts. The vast majority of these people either died by suicide or by a work accident. Recently, I read a story where a navy sailor jumped overboard on his ship. While this is nothing new (sadly), what did catch my eye, was that this guy was an 19 year old from my hometown which is Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. He was just 19 years old when he jumped, I am almost 29 and it honestly put a tear to my eye. Most of us who upload human remains onto airplanes do not show much emotion, its apart of our job. But recently I heard a story from another air force base that a airman broke down and cried when they had to do it and it breaks my heart honestly, because you know your helping to send a service member home to their family. I love watching your videos man, my wife and I binge watch the hell out of them and we appreciate what you do.
The tape is generally applied in an X shape to "keep it from shattering as much" however if we really want to protect our windows we put wood over them. I was very curious why you were testing with the screen on the inside of the window. Wouldn't the screen be on the outside of the window?
exactly what I was thinking because if the screen is on the outside like it's supposed to be then it won't help at all because the glasses still in your house
@@austinashe4278 how do you open the window then? Wouldn't the screen be in the way or do you take the screen off then open the window then put the screen back on or they just don't open which defeats the purpose of having a screen? 🤷
@@austinashe4278 those aren't designed to withstand hurricanes like sliding windows have been, they're notoriously easy to blow off the track, then it never aligns right and the handle starts getting stuck
I normally skip the sponsorship messages, but I was glad to watch this one! I'm so happy that this amazing organization helped you out, and in turn helping the hard working men and women
I believe it's meant to be put on the inside of the window to prevent the glass from blowing inside your home and hurting something or someone. that's why it's not super sticky because you don't want to leave all that residue all over the glass
@@0joshdude yes that's right. Ppl have collectible items, dead relatives in urns, pets, valuables. Yes things. I take you don't know what that means???
Lol they won’t. It’s a for profit company. Vets will get a low low low low low percentage because the plaque and t is more important than a life. Don’t support it go leave a crap review
One flaw in your screen stopping the glass from coming in is that the screens are mounted on the outside of the window. The broken glass would still come into the house. That said, I enjoy watching your videos.
Depends on the design of the window, some have the screen on the inside, some have the screen on the outside, both exist. The bigger issue is that window design only puts a screen on the moveable pane of a 2 pane window, the fixed pane isn't designed to have a screen on it, so a screen would only protect 1 of the 2 panes of the window at best.
@@somethingfunny7732 I'm Australian so i cant speak for the USA but i have seen them at Bunnings, theyre marketed for places that are at risk of a high impact object (such as industrial environments) to prevent glass going everywhere
Where do you live? If you're somewhere a hurricane is coming through, Gulf, Deep south etc. Then the screen is on the inside because if it isn't a racoon or other small sized animal will rip it off in the middle of the night plus, when it rais it'll get wet. Screens arn't meant to get wet or they'll start to pull away from the base.

I love the idea of your sponsor for this video. I'm not a service member but have the utmost respect for everyone who served and have tremendous sympathy for anyone who lost a loved one. Much respect, and great video!
Tyler, thank you so much for having you sponsor. My only child dedicated his life as an Officer, a Ranger, Special Forces and served in Afghanistan several tours, as well as Mylasia, Indonesia, Australia and others. He is just retired, and he came back MUCH different than he left. He is struggling terribly. Many people have no idea that surviving back at home is often much more difficult for our soldiers than abroad. Thank you for helping bring light to this issue.
I've been thru 2 hurricanes. One as a child, and one a few years ago. The main problem we had at our spot was rocks from the gravel driveway hitting the house. Also shingles, insulation, and fragments of wood spread everywhere when your neighbors roof starts popping off and the trees begin to snap. Standing in it is a death sentence if you're around trees or structures. From someone who has seen the damage of a Cat 4, I can tell you with certainty that tape would be helpful for stopping glass from spraying into the house, but its not stopping anything sizeable from coming in. 9 out of 10 times, if the storm is severe, people who are in the path are typically aware which direction the most damaging winds will be coming from, so they simply use plywood. If your plywood is installed properly and it still gets ripped off, then more than likely the whole house is going to get screwed up. The amount of pressure inside the house and the sound outside during 140mph wind gusts is insane and something you can't just explain to somebody. At around 100mph, your ears begin to pop. Even the toilet and sink drains make whining and slurping noises. The house we were at was condemned, as the water and wind damage was catastrophic. Luckily we had a basement to hide out in during the worst of it, because all the rooms except 1 were completely screwed, and you could see the sky in the kitchen and living room. ✌
As soon as I saw what was on ur table for the ad I didn’t skip, I’ll be ordering from them. I love those kind of shirts and the cause is amazing. So happy they have sponsored you
I love the idea of the sponsor. I just think it's so very sad that so many veterans are so badly affected that we have to have to have things like this. It seems like the military gives them all this trauma and just ignores them after that. When these people shouldn't have to go through such terrible things in the first place. I get terrible things happen but.... For so many vets to have so many problems. It makes me so sad they have to go through it at all.
What I love about this channel is he doesn't try too hard to be gimmicky or fancy. Simple camera, no acting a fool. Just himself. He just does what he does, and does a damn good job. Love all this videos about things I never needed to know but now I am glad I do know. This is how TH-cam should be. Top lad
Thank you for your sponsor ❤ as a military brat I really appreciate folks doing things like that. That is super cool they hand deliver those too! Warms my heart and very emotional 🥺
@@Cthulhu013 that's actually dangerous. The point of taping your windows, is if it does break the small shards will stick to the tape; kinda like why car windshields break the way they do. The reason why you tape the inside is not only to prevent the rain and wind from ripping it off, but to ensure that if it gets blown in the glass will be directed and fall away from the tape. It's less sticky by design, you want the big glass pieces to come off outside the house, otherwise you have a sheet filled with broken glass that could come apart and screw someone's day up. I've personally seen stories where people got killed from improperly taping their windows.
@@paulghignon4092 If the glass shards are concealed between two sticky pieces, they are equally less dangerous. If you've ever needed to intentionally break glass, for whatever reason, it's best to tape it first. Not just one side of it. All sides. I promise, if you tape both sides, your home will fare better and the cleanup will be simpler too if it does break. Personal experience.
Really good cause . Mental health and addiction in our solders and veterans is a huge problem as well as sexual harassment. Good for you bringing attention to this great cause .
as an experienced floridian, you need to put the tape in an x shape, and its to keep the glass from getting everywhere not to stop it from breaking everywhere
Thanks for letting us know about the Valhalla project. I'm probably ordering the stickers for my phone & a band for a friend. Love that there's 5 stickers & a free keyring too! Really wish I could afford the metal artwork. I'd buy the eagle & the pawprint. Not bad prices either & reasonable shipping to boot.
You are correct most of us do skip through the ad part. I definitely do I watch this on my iPad and my hand went up right when your sponsor came up and then I saw the shirt that said mental health and I saw the military man to the left in my hand instantly went down and said I wash this one and then you said what you said and I was like Yep this is important
18:44 hahahaha… you know that ol’ scenario…. Golfing in a hurricane, and the hurricane sweeps up your golf ball and launches it into someone’s window! lol…. If I had a nickel every time I saw that happen,,, jeesh I’d be a rich rich man….
Being able to see that, unlike with most videos, the most skipped part of this video was NOT the sponsor really warmed my heart. A lot of my family served in the military, and not all of them ever made it back. Seeing you ask people not to skip this one, and seeing that they actually listened, really made my day. Thanks for all the entertainment you bring, and I hope this video helped some people out with the sponsorship.
I rarely comment on videos in general but I've supported that project for over a year now. And I LOVE that you are spreading awareness. ❤ thank you! 22 a day❤
Super cool to see you had a sponsored video by till Valhalla. I have a 22 A Day tattoo and I’ve worn my band for 4 years now and haven’t taken it off since getting it in the mail. Speaks near and dear to my heart
@@koreyshaffer Love your project and what you do for all our brothers, thank you. You guys were a bit before my time, I got to the fleet April 2019, but we never forget🙏
As a former person who worked on windows, the screen goes on the OUTSIDE of the window, so if the window breaks, that glass is still gonna get inside, brother...
That was the Best Sponsor Ever! As an Iraq Combat Vet, I REALLY Appreciate what they do!!! Thanks Tyler! As far as the Best thing for Hurricane Protection? ----> MOVE out of Hurricane Country!
Metric conversions Double duct tape: 123lb - 55.8kg Double hurricane tape: 225lb - 102.06kg Since this video is probably mostly watched by Americans, the conversions to metric aren't super important, so no criticism at all to Tyler. Metric is basically never used, and I really appreciate him including them for us, but a couple were either listed wrong or not at all. Keep making these videos! Love from South Africa (we only use metric here, so thank you for including conversions!)
funny thing is NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) the ones that give the warnings actual say Dont tape up windows as the tape makes larger fragments that can do more damage, they advice against it.
I couldn’t imagine living in a hurricane prone area like Florida or anywhere on the lower east coast. Those storms come every year and cause so much damage and destruction and every year you have to baton down the hatches and board up your windows. Figures that you have to deal with all of that to live in a beautiful place.
You can really tell the people who commented early on this one. So many people explaining that the tape goes on the inside, or that it is just meant to minimize the threat of glass shards getting in the house, or blah blah blah about what the tape does. He literally says all of that himself at the 12 minute mark of the video guys...
I too am guilty of skipping the sponsor part of videos. This one I didn’t. I actually have the mental health awareness shirt I bought it over a year ago! Great quality! Great cause! I love supporting companies like this!
I love that till vallaha project I love you are sponsoring them... or is it the other way? But whatever I keep my 22 a day band around my shifter in my car and the shirt you are wearing during the ad is my favorite I love that you hope on for the great cause.
I normally do skip the add reads, but I’m glad I watched this one. Seems like a really good company with a great mission. I bet the products would make great father day gifts.
Please retest this. Next test, tape on inside of window. Then do one with tape on both sides, which in my experience has better results. And do a test with horizontal tape overlaid with vertical tape (for strength). I think the results would be more surprising. Floridian here that has never evacuated and always rode out a storm.
@@jaredwiman1845 To be fair, my area doesn't flood or experience storm surge. If I was in a flood zone, I'd be gone every time a cat 3 or higher came along.
I've only made it through the sponsorship portion and wow. That is a super important movement. I really hope they get a lot of support from this sponsorship!
It's not meant to keep the "glass on the outside" or prevent your window from breaking, Hurricane tape is designed to prevent the shards of glass becoming deadly shrapnel when your window shatters. Much better to need to sweep up glass on the floor than watch a family member or pet become perforated from the glass.
The tape isn’t meant to stop objects going through the window. The tape is intended to simulate a laminated window so that in the event the window does break, there is far less loose glass shrapnel that can travel in the house and cause injury. I’ve used a similar tape to this. For windows, it’s to create a tear resistance lamination to reduce loose shrapnel in the event of an object breaking the glass. It also works great in bonding items together that will not easily tear or unwrap.
the tape will just keep the glass pieces together, it won't "magically" make things bounce back -_- this way you won't have shards of glass all over your room.
i worked at a plant nursery inside of a greenhouse. when the plastic ceiling material would tear or get a hole, we would always repair it with Hurricane tape. It binds to plastic very well and seems to handle moisture very well
facepalm, the idea of the tape isnt to stop the window breaking or even to keep the glass out.... its to stop the glass shards becoming projectile by sticking it altogether and keeping it heavy
Screens are usually placed on the outside of homes. So if something makes it through the screen, it's coming through the glass too. Best to take off screen, place tape on outside. Put screen back on. Place tape on inside too.
As someone who lives on the gulf coast...When you tape your windows, its not to make it unbreakable, but rather so it doesn't shatter so very much. And you normally put large X's on the outside and inside. If you are trying to make it where you windows don't break. You buy Plywood and tack them over your windows.

Tape typically goes on the inside, in an "X" pattern. It's to prevent broken glass from flying through the air to prevent injury.
I hope tyler try's it again with different patterns. I think it breaks cuz its just one direction. Like you said x shape would work good.
so tyler was testing something in completely the wrong way? ...sounds like a normal video to me...
Idk much but why exactly an X? You figure putting tape all over as he did is better but why an X shape

Yeah, instead of all the shards being flown down in unison, they will come down on you like a sheet of glass! Much more safe!
Regular ductape in the shape of an X is all you need
That's what I was thinking too, and you could put it on the inside for that making the wind / rain irrelevant.

What I love about this channel is he doesn't try too hard to be gimmicky or fancy. Simple camera, no acting a fool. Just himself. He just does what he does, and does a damn good job. Love all this videos about things I never needed to know but now I am glad I do know. This is how TH-cam should be. Top lad
He acts a fool, just not intentionally.
I really appreciate the sponsor on this video, thanks for that
I love what this company makes! We need more people like them.
Your neighbours must look out of their windows sometimes and just wonder what he hell is going on 🤣
Thank you for your sponsor ❤ as a military brat I really appreciate folks doing things like that. That is super cool they hand deliver those too! Warms my heart and very emotional 🥺
My favorite sponsor of all time!! I own alot of their apparel. Very good quality as well.
As a experienced Louisianaian who is well versed in window taping, the tape goes inside of your windows T. 🤣
Best to do the outside too.
Hahahaha
@@Cthulhu013 that's actually dangerous. The point of taping your windows, is if it does break the small shards will stick to the tape; kinda like why car windshields break the way they do. The reason why you tape the inside is not only to prevent the rain and wind from ripping it off, but to ensure that if it gets blown in the glass will be directed and fall away from the tape. It's less sticky by design, you want the big glass pieces to come off outside the house, otherwise you have a sheet filled with broken glass that could come apart and screw someone's day up.
I've personally seen stories where people got killed from improperly taping their windows.
@@paulghignon4092 If the glass shards are concealed between two sticky pieces, they are equally less dangerous. If you've ever needed to intentionally break glass, for whatever reason, it's best to tape it first. Not just one side of it. All sides.
I promise, if you tape both sides, your home will fare better and the cleanup will be simpler too if it does break. Personal experience.
@@Cthulhu013 I second this
Til Valhalla project is an amazing company to support. Theybare an amazing company and the do so much good for our active duty and veterans
Really good cause . Mental health and addiction in our solders and veterans is a huge problem as well as sexual harassment. Good for you bringing attention to this great cause .
as an experienced floridian, you need to put the tape in an x shape, and its to keep the glass from getting everywhere not to stop it from breaking everywhere
Thanks for letting us know about the Valhalla project. I'm probably ordering the stickers for my phone & a band for a friend.
Love that there's 5 stickers & a free keyring too!
Really wish I could afford the metal artwork. I'd buy the eagle & the pawprint.
Not bad prices either & reasonable shipping to boot.
I love the sponsor of this video. This is really cool
You are correct most of us do skip through the ad part. I definitely do I watch this on my iPad and my hand went up right when your sponsor came up and then I saw the shirt that said mental health and I saw the military man to the left in my hand instantly went down and said I wash this one and then you said what you said and I was like Yep this is important
18:44 hahahaha… you know that ol’ scenario…. Golfing in a hurricane, and the hurricane sweeps up your golf ball and launches it into someone’s window! lol…. If I had a nickel every time I saw that happen,,, jeesh I’d be a rich rich man….
Being able to see that, unlike with most videos, the most skipped part of this video was NOT the sponsor really warmed my heart. A lot of my family served in the military, and not all of them ever made it back. Seeing you ask people not to skip this one, and seeing that they actually listened, really made my day. Thanks for all the entertainment you bring, and I hope this video helped some people out with the sponsorship.
I rarely comment on videos in general but I've supported that project for over a year now. And I LOVE that you are spreading awareness. ❤ thank you! 22 a day❤
Shoutout to TVP been rocking them for over 1 year now and have helped out a lot ! Definitely go check them out
Hey can you put things in jars full of Jack Daniel's for 30 days
The drink it
Super cool to see you had a sponsored video by till Valhalla. I have a 22 A Day tattoo and I’ve worn my band for 4 years now and haven’t taken it off since getting it in the mail. Speaks near and dear to my heart
I'm so happy that they sponsored you. Thank you for doing this.
This might be the ad that i don’t skip. This company means a lot to veterans and those who are gone.
Please don't skip the sponsor. This one is really important and a great cause
He literally said that in the video mate
@@yeetingat100subs9 doesn't hurt to reiterate
I skipped
@@kospadesforex Well you missed something amazing
I'm so happy with the sponsor I love till Valhalla project
Never forget 22 a day
I think the point is to keep most of the glass intact so less water gets into your house.
And keep shards of glass flying into you or anywhere
props on the ad! Something worth having a ad for. Good job!
The issue with the screen is that it's on the outside of the window, the glass will still come flying in all over
He knows lol he's full of shit
@@Zaque-TV idk about all that but, I know the screen isn't on the inside.....
Really appreciate the sponsor, I was in 2/7 Golf company and knew of Cpl Dunston. Till Valhalla brother
I was 2/7 Echo same time.
@@koreyshaffer Love your project and what you do for all our brothers, thank you. You guys were a bit before my time, I got to the fleet April 2019, but we never forget🙏
My pregnant ass is almost in tears by your sponsor! I’ve never heard of this company but I’m so glad I did. I definitely need a shirt or a few ❤️❤️❤️
@@MattIsTheCat it’s the hormones mixed with a good cause lol
Love the sponsor. Good for you man!!
As a former person who worked on windows, the screen goes on the OUTSIDE of the window, so if the window breaks, that glass is still gonna get inside, brother...
My condolences on your status as a former person.
Ummm security screens on outside, fly/insect screens on the inside
It also depends on the type of window , if it folds out then the security screen can go on the inside
@@myfavoriteviewer306 😆
That was the Best Sponsor Ever! As an Iraq Combat Vet, I REALLY Appreciate what they do!!! Thanks Tyler! As far as the Best thing for Hurricane Protection? ----> MOVE out of Hurricane Country!
I love how he regularly contradicts himself in every video.
He's honest. The fact he starts with a guess (hypothesis) is an effect of being a bit of a scientist too.
Go Tyler!
This is one sponsor I approve of. I actually did not skip this one. I support our troops and veterans.
You are like watching a child learn something interesting for the first time, but I can't stop watching you figure shit out!! 🤣🤣
Love this!
Metric conversions
Double duct tape: 123lb - 55.8kg
Double hurricane tape: 225lb - 102.06kg
Since this video is probably mostly watched by Americans, the conversions to metric aren't super important, so no criticism at all to Tyler. Metric is basically never used, and I really appreciate him including them for us, but a couple were either listed wrong or not at all. Keep making these videos! Love from South Africa (we only use metric here, so thank you for including conversions!)
thank you for saying that the ad was important. not enough people know about til valhalla
funny thing is NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) the ones that give the warnings actual say Dont tape up windows as the tape makes larger fragments that can do more damage, they advice against it.
Great sponsorship on this one.
No Tyler, I never skip through ads, I watch your entire videos.
I couldn’t imagine living in a hurricane prone area like Florida or anywhere on the lower east coast. Those storms come every year and cause so much damage and destruction and every year you have to baton down the hatches and board up your windows. Figures that you have to deal with all of that to live in a beautiful place.
most places there these days have windows made to withstand hurricanes
I'm a elite member of the tvp. I'm serious, it's probably the best money anyone will ever spend
Happy to experience your one in a million with ya dude, the look on your face ✌️😂
You can really tell the people who commented early on this one.
So many people explaining that the tape goes on the inside, or that it is just meant to minimize the threat of glass shards getting in the house, or blah blah blah about what the tape does.
He literally says all of that himself at the 12 minute mark of the video guys...
You need to test the window film that stops people from breaking in your window or patio door. I'm curious if it actually works...
Thank you for spreading awareness and supporting mental health care and our service people. ♥️🇺🇸
I too am guilty of skipping the sponsor part of videos. This one I didn’t. I actually have the mental health awareness shirt I bought it over a year ago! Great quality! Great cause! I love supporting companies like this!
I love that till vallaha project I love you are sponsoring them... or is it the other way? But whatever I keep my 22 a day band around my shifter in my car and the shirt you are wearing during the ad is my favorite I love that you hope on for the great cause.
I normally do skip the add reads, but I’m glad I watched this one. Seems like a really good company with a great mission. I bet the products would make great father day gifts.
“Mom! There’s a mess in the garage that needs cleaning and where are my Dino nuggies”
Please retest this. Next test, tape on inside of window. Then do one with tape on both sides, which in my experience has better results.
And do a test with horizontal tape overlaid with vertical tape (for strength). I think the results would be more surprising.
Floridian here that has never evacuated and always rode out a storm.
We Floridians don't run from hurricanes... We throw parties 🤣
Y'all Florida people something else bruh 🤣
@@jaredwiman1845 To be fair, my area doesn't flood or experience storm surge. If I was in a flood zone, I'd be gone every time a cat 3 or higher came along.
@@Cthulhu013 that's insane, I couldn't even imagine what a hurricane is like living right over in GA stay safe bro 🙏
@@jaredwiman1845 like a big tornado but with more water
Some one needs to tell Tyler window screens go on the outside of your window. I don't see many hurricanes forming in peoples living rooms.
You haven't met my ex!
Tyler: This has no purpose.
[Me, staring at all the broken glass that remained stuck to the tape: 🤔]
Same dude.
Been part of till Valhalla since forever
I love till Valhalla project they are absolutely awesome folk
I've only made it through the sponsorship portion and wow. That is a super important movement. I really hope they get a lot of support from this sponsorship!
That golfball bounce at the end 🤣🤙
It's not meant to keep the "glass on the outside" or prevent your window from breaking, Hurricane tape is designed to prevent the shards of glass becoming deadly shrapnel when your window shatters. Much better to need to sweep up glass on the floor than watch a family member or pet become perforated from the glass.
Lol "perforated." I have no idea why this struck me as hilarious.
The tape isn’t meant to stop objects going through the window. The tape is intended to simulate a laminated window so that in the event the window does break, there is far less loose glass shrapnel that can travel in the house and cause injury.
I’ve used a similar tape to this. For windows, it’s to create a tear resistance lamination to reduce loose shrapnel in the event of an object breaking the glass. It also works great in bonding items together that will not easily tear or unwrap.
the tape will just keep the glass pieces together, it won't "magically" make things bounce back -_-
this way you won't have shards of glass all over your room.
Thats a hard concept to understand apparently 🤣
i worked at a plant nursery inside of a greenhouse. when the plastic ceiling material would tear or get a hole, we would always repair it with Hurricane tape. It binds to plastic very well and seems to handle moisture very well
facepalm, the idea of the tape isnt to stop the window breaking or even to keep the glass out.... its to stop the glass shards becoming projectile by sticking it altogether and keeping it heavy
just shut up and watch the video
I see you're new here
First cool sponsor I've seen on a TH-cam video!!!
Btw, your supposed to do it on the outside and inside!
Can u see how shape u can make cardboard I’m very interested and I think that would be. Great video
Great video!
BTWs, I'm glad I didn't skip the sponsor. I will check them out!
Love the sponsor for this one
Hey Tyler, great videos. You should put stuff in muriatic acid for 30 days and see what it dissolves!!
Heck yeah great sponsor this week awesome.
Screens are usually placed on the outside of homes. So if something makes it through the screen, it's coming through the glass too. Best to take off screen, place tape on outside. Put screen back on. Place tape on inside too.
I was sitting here like don't they go on the outside I had to double check and walked over to my window lol
Screens get ripped out during hurricanes the best thing to put on your windows for hurricanes is hurricane shutters if you're in a high hurricane zone
