Self Fusing Silicone Tape

This stuff is the greatest. Fixed a lousy plumbing job by binding two pipes so securely I will never have to worry about the issue again.

Living in Florida our lovely sunshine wrecks havoc on any kind of rubber or plastic used outdoors. My garden hose was starting to show some cracking but not yet a leak. I wrapped this tape around the cracked sections. I found it easy to apply as per directions and its stayed securely on hose. For past few months it has securely reinforced my hose and no further breakdown or leaks has occured. Very pleased.

Dose a good job of sticking to itself but does not stick to any other surface unless wrapped around itself tightly on that surface. It works well for certain projects and quick fixes but not for every job. You will need a second product if you need to use tape to stick to a surface without wrapping it around itself.

Research showed that thin self-adhering wrap tape was worth trying and this was easy to use and WORKED! I had used waterproof tape and other thingsin the past (silicone adhesive plus waterproof tape, movers’ adhesive cling wrap). Big box only had thicker waterproof silicone wrap in stock- this is 0.02” thick so perfect for the hose’s accordion ridges. Just follow directions for stretching with application.

I needed something to make the diameter of my shower hose actually fit into an extra bracket/holder that I had purchased here on Amazon. That is: right below, where the hose screws onto my shower head. I had trouble with my shower head not staying in position because the base of the shower head and the nut right below it were too large to fit into the holder and the hose was too skinny...leading the shower head to be unstable and not stay in position and even a couple of times, it fell out of the holder and almost conked me on the head!I simply wrapped/stretched this silicone tape around the hose right below the showerhead to make it thick enough that it fit snugly into the shower head holder/bracket. The "grippiness" of the silicone tape was PERFECT and now I don't have to constantly re-position my shower head the entire time! After a while, it really settles/seals itself and is now immovable. I don't have to worry about it "unraveling." This was the perfect solution for my problem!

Ordered this product to fix a leaky hose. While I was able to regain pressure in the hose, the site of the leak was nowhere near sealed and still leaked. I think the black multi-use gorilla tape would have done a much better job.

Is water and air (oxygen) proof. I use it to splice oxygen tubing for my breathing concentrators because have COPD. It's a little tricky to work with at first, but using scissors and an Exacto knife, I've become somewhat of a semi-expert at separating the tape from its insulation roll. It adheres to itself for a long, long time.

I used it instead of heat shrink or regular electrical tape to repair an antique deep fat fryer electrical wiring. It would be subject to grease and High temperature. Worked perfectly. I'll check back in 10 years to see how it holds up over time, and keep some in the car in case of a broken water hose.

Update: 02-2022, this product was $6.99 in 2019 now, Criminal how sellers take advantage of people these day.I find better quality self fusing silicone tapes bind to itself but you can still unwrap it especially within a few minutes. This stuff as soon as it touches itself under tension it’s almost like it eats into itself and has to be cut off if you wanna removed of reposition itself

not as good as it says
