Self-Fusing Silicone Tape 1inx10', Hose Repair Tape, Heavy Duty Leak Proof Sealing Tape for Pipe & Plumbing Repairs, Wraping Electrical Wires,Tool...

We used this to tape up a couple of leaks in our backyard hose. (I may or may not have sort of hit it with the weed-whacker...) My son taped it up about 2 weeks ago, and the hose is not leaking and has been out in the 90+ degree heat plus two rainstorms so I am pretty amazed that it hasn't just fallen off from the heat yet. Will keep an eye on it and update review if necessary.

Different than I expected. This does not fuse with itself permanently as some other thinner silicone tape I've used, so I would NOT use this for electrical or pipe sealing. It is a good wrap for handles and things needing a good gripping surface, without having to deal with adhesive slowly coming out of the layers and making it sticky, or water getting in and loosening the adhesion. Tape has good stretch, very strong. Sticks to itself well. Surface doesn't feel sticky at all. Peels back off itself fairly easily and can be re-used. I tested by folding some clean tape over on itself, then crushing with needle-nose pliers to ensure very tight bond, but it still peeled back off itself without damage or permanent fusing.

I'm a fan of silicone tape. It can be used for so many things, like emergency vehicle repair. I carry a roll in my Jeep in case a radiator hose or vacuum line breaks. I use it for electrical tape in a pinch. It'll hold leaks in pipes. It can even be used with a bandage. Like duct tape, everyone should have a roll of this handy. This is pretty good quality stuff. It adheres to itself well, a solid amount of stretch, and while I haven't had it long enough to comment on the longevity of repairs, from using silicone tape in the past I fully expect it to be comparable. This is good stuff at a good price, and I recommend! *Note: to anyone not familiar with silicone tape it does not contain adhesive and so doesn't stick to objects. It bonds to itself, so when you wrap it around something it'll seal.

I'm new to silicone self-fusing tapes. So at first, I have to admit, I thought I got a defective item because it wasn't sticky at all in a traditional tape sense. Upon doing a bit of research and realizing that you need to tighten it quite a bit and wrap on itself, it holds amazingly well. It is also very strong: I cannot break it no matter how much I pull (I got the thicker 1mm variety). For final test I decided to wrap it around a hose that was slightly leaking. I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out it worked great and in hour+ there wasn't any leakage. My only disclaimer is that the surface you're applying it too must be clean and ideally dry.
