When your roof springs a leak, and water's pouring in, and your home, RV, boat, or gear is on the line, you don't want to reach for a roll of generic duct tape. You want a strong sealant tape that actually stops leaks and keeps them stopped, for good!
For years, Gorilla Sealant Tape, along with other Gorilla brand-name products, has been one of the strongest sealant tapes around.
However, TitanPatch Pro, a new contender in the realm of industrial-grade adhesives, has recently emerged and is shaking things up, one roll of sealant tape at a time.
Both Gorilla Sealant Tape and TitanPatch Pro claim unbeatable strength, reliable adhesion, and all-weather durability... But only one of them really stands out as the true champion.
Below, we pit these two sealant tapes against each other to see which one deserves a permanent spot in your toolbox.
What Is Gorilla Sealant Tape?
The Gorilla Glue Company, the maker of Gorilla Sealant Tape, has been around since 1994.
Gorilla Sealant Tape is the product we're here to discuss today. But the brand also offers a wide range of powerful adhesives, including Gorilla Super Glue, Gorilla Wood Glue, and Gorilla Spray, among many others.
Gorilla Sealant Tape has a solid reputation as being a heavy-duty sealant tape, and we're not here to dispute that.
It comes from a reputable brand and is a high-quality product that provides strong adhesion on a wide range of surfaces. So it's definitely beneficial to have a roll of Gorilla Sealant Tape around the house, in the garage, and even while traveling.
However, the problem with Gorilla Sealant Tape is that it has a lower tensile strength than TitanPatch Pro. Actually, we don't even know the true tensile strength of this product because Gorilla, as well as most other sealant tape brands, don't list their products' tensile strength anywhere.
Plus, despite the brand's claims, it's also not the best option for outdoor use, where the adhesive might be exposed to UV rays, rain, snow, or ice.
In other words, Gorilla Sealant Tape may be a popular option. But it's not your only option.
What is TitanPatch Pro?
TitanPatch Pro is Tool Troopers' response to all the shortcomings of Gorilla Sealant Tape and all other adhesives and sealant tapes on the market. It's designed as an industrial-grade, all-weather sealant product that's built with military-grade precision. It's stronger, more waterproof, and more reliable than all the tapes on the market combined.
You can use TitanPatch Pro on RV roofs, boats, trailers, outdoor structures, or to waterproof virtually any other surfaces that need an airtight seal.
Below, we compare Gorilla Sealant Tape and TitanPatch Pro side-by-side to help you determine for yourself which one is the superior waterproofing sealant tape.
The Main Differences Between Gorilla Sealant Tape And TitanPatch Pro
Here's a quick breakdown of the main differences between Gorilla Sealant Tape and TitanPatch Pro.
- TitanPatch Pro is an all-weather 100% waterproof tape that's designed to withstand any weather, extreme heat or extreme cold. It will handle it.
- Gorilla Sealant Tape claims to work indoors and outdoors, but we've had poor experiences using this tape.
- TitanPatch Pro will last longer. It can easily last up to 15 years, and often much longer. Gorilla Sealant Tape doesn't specify how long the product lasts.
- Our Tensile Strength is way above anyone else, with 487 pound/square inch.
- Most manufacturers, including Gorilla Sealant Tape, are afraid of showing their results, as they're much lower.
- TitanPatch Pro comes well packed, in a box and with solutions to keep the tape "fresh" for longer in the box. By applying a top and bottom film, that can be replaced after each use, we've ensured it doesn't dry out, cling to dirt, etc.
- Gorilla Sealant Tape doesn't have any special packaging methods.

Real-World Applications For Gorilla Sealant Tape And TitanPatch Pro
To help you get a better idea of how, when, and why to use Gorilla Sealant Tape vs. TitanPatch Pro, let's take a look at some real-world applications of both products.
Gorilla Sealant Tape Best Uses
Ultimately, Gorilla Sealant Tape is best used for indoor repairs and simple fixes around the house.
The product does state that it's suitable for outdoor use. It's perfectly fine to use outdoors during the summertime. But during the colder seasons, we've found that Gorilla Sealant Tape loses its stickiness and becomes less effective, despite the brand's claims.
In other words, during the fall, winter, or spring, you'll want to choose a sealant tape that's actually designed to withstand frigid temperatures or harsher weather.
TitanPatch Pro Best Uses
Because TitanPatch Pro is waterproof, weatherproof, and UV-resistant, it's suitable for a much wider range of real-world applications.
TitanPatch Pro can be used for repairing, sealing, and maintaining campers, RVs, tents, trailers, pools, boats, gutters, windows, or for creating airtight, waterproof seals anywhere else you need a repair that can withstand high heat or harsh exposure to the elements.
It sticks to virtually any material, including metal (aluminum or galvanized), glass, fiberglass, plastic, rubber, concrete, stone, paint, paper, and even wood!
And if that wasn't enough, TitanPatch Pro is backed by Tool Troopers' Trust Your Gear guarantee.

Which Tape Should You Choose?
It really depends on what type of repairs you need to complete and how long you want them to last.
There's no doubt that both Gorilla Sealant Tape and TitanPatch Pro are strong and reliable adhesives. They both offer strong adhesion to various surfaces, can stop leaks (at least temporarily), and can help you out with a range of household repairs.
However, Gorilla Sealant Tape is much less effective long-term and won't last when exposed to UV rays, rain, cold weather, or snow. So it's much better suited for indoor repairs, short-term fixes, and general DIY jobs around the house.
On the other hand, TitanPatch Pro is the better investment if you're looking for long-lasting waterproofing, durable seals, and outdoor reliability.
It's a considerably more versatile sealant product that can be used to stop leaking pipes quickly and keep them stopped, repair leaking RV roofs, seams, vents, or edges, and perform a wide range of both indoor and outdoor maintenance around the house, campsite, job site, or pretty much anywhere else!

Is Gorilla Sealant Tape the same as duct tape?
No, Gorilla Sealant Tape is not the same as standard duct tape. Gorilla Sealant Tape is a waterproof adhesive sealant that can be used to stop leaks, create seals, and prevent water intrusion through various surfaces. Compared to regular duct tape, it's a much thicker rubber-based adhesive that's extremely sticky and that last will longer than most generic duct tape adhesives.
Is Gorilla Tape waterproof enough for RV roofs?
No, Gorilla Tape should not be used to seal, repair, or protect RV roofs. It can be used in a pinch, but TitanPatch Pro has better UV-resistance, a higher tensile strength, and can withstand heat and cold much better than pretty much any other Gorilla Sealant Tape alternatives. So if you're looking for a long-lasting solution, we recommend TitanPatch Pro for RV roof repairs.
Can TitanPatch Pro be used underwater?
TitanPatch Pro is a fully waterproof sealant tape. But it's not designed to be applied or used fully submerged underwater. When applying TitanPatch Pro, always clean and dry the surfaces as thoroughly as possible. Water and moisture reduce the adhesive's ability to stick to your surface.
Which tape lasts longer outdoors?
Hands down, TitanPatch Pro will 100% last longer when used outdoors. Gorilla Sealant Tape claims to be weather-resistant. But TitanPatch Pro is weatherproof! It's waterproof, fully UV-resistant, and specifically designed to remain strong, tacky, and pliable in temperatures ranging from -40°F (-40°C) to 190°F (90°C).
What is the strongest waterproof tape available today?
There are many sealant tapes on the market. But TitanPatch Pro is the only one we've seen that's built with ruggedness and mission-grade precision. It's designed to be used virtually anywhere, in any temperature, and won't crack, dry out, or peel when exposed to UV rays.
