1 Inch x 10 FT Black Self-Fusing Silicone, Thickness 0.5mm Hose Repair Tape, Heavy Duty and Leak Proof Rubber Hose Tape, Pipe for Water - Black

So this is not tape, and you need to know that before buying it. You have to use this in the same way you’d use gause to wrap a wound. I read other reviews and so many people are upset, sort of rightfully so because it’s not like the “tape” came with instructions but by reading the other reviews is how I understood how to use it. It’s not sticky, but it’s great quality and its ability to stretch is where the value within it lies. You have to use small amounts wrap it tight, and wrap whatever it is multiple times. The “tape” does what it is supposed to and almost melts into itself. It’s heat resistant and has held very well for what I needed it for (patching a tube I couldn’t replace on my vehicle under the hood).

I'm not sure which is of worse quality, this tape or the "expandable" garden hose for which I purchased it. I filled the hose and found two leaks; I marked them before turning the hose off and drying it as well as possible. I then applied the tape, making sure to not skimp on the amount used. I turned the hose back on, only to find that the hose STILL leaks from behind the tape. Save your money and don't buy one of those silly hoses in the first place - then you won't have to suffer the frustration of having wasted money on it and this tape.

All you have to do is stretch it and wrap it around the pipe. The more you repeat it, the more powerful it is. I’d like to make a strong recommendation. It has the best effect compared to its cost-effectiveness.

The only problem I have with this tape is I don't ever have enough on hand...👍

Perfect for what I needed. I had a hole in my intake pipe to the turbo, small hole made by my pullies. I wrapped the hole a few times and did the trick. It sticks to itself and makes a seal. Great product.

It may work on a normal rubber hose for leak stoppage but is unable to seal on a soft, expandable hose.

This tape is great if you know how to use it. I first saw the tape over 40 years ago. We use it in the aviation industry it's electrical tape that only sticks to itself but you put it on properly and it's waterproof. silicone rubber tape has no adhesive, but sticks to itself (self-fuses or self amalgamating) when stretched and wrapped onto itself. The tapes starts curing within minutes, and after several hours cannot be unwound or removed without using a sharp knife or blade. "that's why it's separated by the clear plastic"

It does not stick at all - to me was totally useless - still have half of it left - ready for trash can - no idea what use it could serve - I has wanted simple roll of electical tape or simething to go around a hose that had a leak - nope this didnt help
