POPPSTARSelf-Fusing Silicone Band, Silicone Tape, 3m x 25mm, Sealing & Insulating Strip (water-tight, air-tight), black, 1 Roll

I bought this to mend some previously rubber coated tools that had become abraded from shearing forces so i though i would give this tape a try.The tape has a "backing tape" which needs to be peeled off. There has to be a knack to doing this and wrapping the tape using the right amount of stretch. The tape is very clingy, its not sticky but it will stick to itself very quickly a bit like PTFE tape does. Once you have applied the tape and wrapped whatever you wanted done the end result is very pleasing. I have yet to try the shear forces of the tape but from the initial feel i have good hopes for it. If it doesn't work then its easy to cut off with no messy residue to worry about. It does come with a set of multi language instructions but the text is so small its almost impossible for these tired eyes to read. Why not just print a QR Code and get the instructions that way. Only time will tell on the effectiveness of the tape. i will post a reply after using it for a while.

It's pretty good without being all the way brilliant.It does the job of stopping the water, and moulding to the needs of the people.Reasonably easy to apply and the instructions are clear.My only gripe, and reason for singular star reduction is that the end peels after a few days.I stretched that fellow long and stuck it down exactly how the instructions indicated. However, after three or four days the end needs to be re-stretched and stuck back down.I've removed it once due to the end coming loose, and thinking the fault was with me. It was not.My technique and pulling prowess, which I questioned, was not at fault, it was adequate both times.Yet I was left feeling like my life was a lie and I'd somehow failed.Failed my family, my loved ones, and humanity as a whole.That I'd committed an unforgivable sin.But the fault was not mineNot will it be yours if you buy this product and experience a similar issue.

Seems to work ok as a temporary urgent fix

I used this tape to seal the end of a pipe which had been squeezed together in a rather botched previous attempt to cap it off. Because of the peculiar shape, I had my doubts that the tape would work, but gave it a go... Initially, the tape stopped 95% of the leak, leaving some small drips squeezing themselves out. I was sort of disappointed but maybe not surprised given the job I'd asked it to do. However, the instructions did state that the seal takes 24 hours to fully cure, so I left it in place to check the following day. SURE ENOUGH, 24 hours later, the leak had entirely stopped, and I have continued to monitor it since (a couple of days so far), and the bowl I left in place has remained completely dry. HOORAY !! It does what it says, and beyond. Most definitely an invaluable piece of kit for a DIY plumbing.

After Messing about peeling the backing off I used to.try and seal pipe I'd did not sticker bind to itself but after several.attempts I gave up.an replaced the pipes

Used to.repaiar a saucepan handle excellent product

Used to seal gaps on back steps. Early days but so far so good, time will tell whether robust enough to withstand wet weather.

This worked really well for me. I had a leak from the waste pipe fitting at my toilet u bend. I wasn't expecting a lot but in these times of lockdown I didnt expect a plumber to be available and it was too awkward to replace the pipe without immediate recourse to spare parts if anything broke when pulling back the toilet from the cistern. I used this in conjunction with plumbers leak putty but this was probably not needed as the tape seemed to adhere to the porcelain/plastic join very well. The stretchability of the tape meant it could be applied tightly and without unravelling. It was an awkward job to reach and incredibly sticky tape probably would have been impossible to apply without a lot of wasted tape. This works really really well so long as it can wrap right round something back on itself to adhere to. Job done in 10 minutes. I could probably paint over the tape eventually.
