Rescue Tape: Self-Fusing Silicone Tape for Emergency Repairs

Robert Chambers: This tape was recommended to me by a professional mechanic. Our diesel tank fill hose had been cut just between the fill tube and the tank. Probably by fuel thieves.
We couldn’t fill the tank without spilling diesel. We couldn’t get a part quickly so I cleaned the hose with brake cleaner and wrapped several lengths around the hose.
We were able to fill the tank and drive the Jeep for two months while waiting for the part. It never leaked a drop of diesel.

Stephen McGehee: I originally got this to weatherproof antenna connections, but I found myself using it for lots of things. The connections I've used this on have been fully exposed to the sun and rain, and I see no sign of any deterioration. I also keep a roll of it in the car for emergency repairs, though I've never needed it for that (so far). Not having to deal with the adhesive on regular tape is what I really like about this. To remove it, don't bother trying to unwrap it - not going to work very well. You're better off simply cutting it off with a razor knife. This is not a replacement for duct tape, but it needs to be right there in your tool kit along with it. Excellent all-purpose repair tape.

Dylan A. Hart: It did seal the leak that I needed to seal temporarily. Took a few extra wraps to get it done. It didn't stick to itself as well as the 3M stuff I am used to, but it did work.

Charles I.: I had to completely re-do a sprinkler valve box, and it was a nightmare as space was highly limited due to the box being surrounded fairly closely by concrete. One of the black plastic pipes that runs from the valve to the sprinkles was cut too-short, and therefore didn't have a good "seat" on the connector, and thus leaked when the valve was open. I tried many alternatives, hose clamps, etc. and still it leaked. I purchased this tape and, with some effort in the confined space, was able to apply several layers of this tape around the leaking area. I let it sit for a couple of days to seal as much as possible. I then turned on the water and...no leak! I know this tape isn't supposed to be used as a permanent solution to pipe leaks, so I wouldn't use it long-term within my house, but I'll use it in my sprinkler box for as long as possible as the alternative is to bust-up the concrete and dig up and replace the whole darn thing. Thanks!

William Cullum: works fine on a clean dry surface ok, but if you are working down a dirty, wet hole (real world situation) this stuff doesn't reliability stick. Tried two, three layers but would not stop leak
