InstaTrim The Original Flexible Trim -10ft Grey 3/4" Wide Caulk Tape - Adhesive Trim with Many Uses Including Caulking for Bathtubs, Sinks, Counters, Tile, Floors - Made in USA

Easy install. I first steam cleaned and allowed to dry for a few days. Floors are radiant heat. Just before install I cleaned toilet base and floor with Acetone and allowed to dry. I purchased the factory tool to push in the edging tight and uniformly. I have not tugged on edge or end and final opinion will be amended and noted if needed over time. The adhesive has a bit of gooey feel to it and seemed extremely sticky which is initially comforting. With the heated floors this should be an ideal installation. Remains to be seen! I really like the tidy look over the initial paintable caulk I applied to seal the toilet to code. This application was purely decoration . I am hoping the underlying caulk will allow for better adhesion over the long term. This is a commercial application and the floor it abuts is mopped every other day. We shall see.2 months report:Still perfect and tight. No change. A+++

This product worked great on my bathtub in the bathroom, but did not stick very well in the kitchen.

This was much easier to work with than caulking, and you end up with a perfect finish.The gooey adhesive reminds me of plumbers putty.I ordered the ivory to better blend with my solid wood bathroom countertop and the ivory mother of pearl wall.It is fairly easy to cut with good scissors, and was Abe to cut 45⁰ angles for the corners.My only gripe is the raw ends could really use some type of finishing cap. I ended using biscuit caulking to encase the ends and make them blend better.So I didn't actually escape having to use caulking.I plan on ordering more to use between the flooring and shower pan instead of 1/4 round that catches dust and water.Hopefully this was helpful, Thank you!

I’ve never been a fan of messy caulk jobs - esp when at least one of the surfaces is really nice tile or stone. So after reading a story about this product & the Twin Cities company that makes it, I ordered several rolls right away. It has now been less than 1 year since I installed it. Got a ton of compliments early on & several folks even asked where I bought it. I have a strong construction background so I made sure to read the directions closely in order to determine how to prepare the surfaces & much pressure to apply when “sticking” the caulk backer into the gap between the 2 surfaces. I also knew that if I stretched it too much when applying pressure the joints would most likely separate. So I didn’t stretch the product at all. The joints around the 3 sides of my corner whirlpool & vanity sink top that meet the mosaic stone backsplashes looked awesome! But even though our basement is climate controlled - in-floor radiant heat, dehumidifier, humidifier & air quality monitor too - this product looks like crap just 9-10 months later. All the corner joints have pulled apart & there are several spots where it is pulling away from the backsplashes. And where I used it to fill a gap between a painted beam & a painted tongue & groove ceiling, it’s falling off - even though I’ve reapplied pressure several times after seeing it coming loose. So it was a complete waste of money & now I have to remove it & clean the surfaces all over again so I can use a good silicone sanded caulk that matches the grout I used for the mosaic stone. Which is exactly what I wanted to avoid & why I bought this product! What a major disappointment!

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE:The trim still looks great for my projects that were off the floor, like my crown molding and the top of my wainscoting. Nice clean line and the trim is still in place with slight shrinkage, so keep that in mind. Unfortunately, the trim along my floor boards are a disgusting mess. They attract all the dirt and the dirt sticks to the seams. So if you put two pieces together there will be little lines of dirt along the top, bottom and at the seams. I will NEVER use this along the floor again! Definitely loses a star for lack of a variety of uses!ORIGINAL REVIEW:I installed wainscoting and painted my wall a dark blue. I caulked the door trim and noticed the caulk smears onto my fresh paint job. The insta trim was a great solution. It was a quick and easy install. I used scissors to trim the ends. I cut the ends at an angle when I had two pieces meet in the corners so they appeared more seamless. I used a blow dryer to heat up the strips after I installed them. Then I immediately pressed down the strip again to get the adhesion working well and I think that made a difference. I thought the strips were just sticky backing but they actually have the consistency of Light caulk on the back.I really like the clean look this gave my project. This loses a star for being so expensive.

I recently used the 1/2" wide 10ft long InstaTrim in my living room area, and it exceeded my expectations! I applied it between the baseboard and hardwood floor to address a noticeable gap, and the result was fantastic.Installation Experience:The adhesive backing was strong and easy to work with. I was able to cut and adjust the trim effortlessly to fit the space perfectly. It stayed in place securely, even when I needed to make slight corrections during application.Appearance:The trim looks seamless and professional. It blended beautifully with both the baseboard and hardwood floor, giving the room a polished, finished appearance. I appreciated the clean design and the fact that it didn’t require painting or additional finishing.Durability:So far, the InstaTrim has held up incredibly well. It’s durable enough to handle regular cleaning and doesn’t peel or shift. It’s clear that the material is made to last.Final Thoughts:I highly recommend InstaTrim for anyone looking to tidy up gaps and seams in their home. It’s affordable, easy to use, and delivers professional-quality results. My living area looks noticeably better, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!
