Stucco application can be messy, making it essential to find the right tape to stand up to the job. Stucco tape needs to be able to:

Adhere strongly to a variety of surfaces, such as vinyl, wood, metal, concrete, brick, stucco, and poly-sheeting
Conform to irregular surfaces
Unwind easily from the roll
Withstand harsh trowel scraping
Create a watertight seal to protect surfaces from water sprayed on the stucco after application
Withstand hot, dry, and humid environments, especially prolonged exposure to the sun
Remove quickly and cleanly by hand without shredding or damaging the surface it was removed from
