Bond It Self-Fusing Silicone Rescue Tape for Emergency Plumbing, Pipe, Hose Repair, Electrical Insulation, Waterproof, 950PSI, Made in USA, 1" x 12', Yellow

I love this stuff. It has gotten me out of a jam or two. Every tool box should have this in it

I decided to give this a try after seeing the reviews. I have a leak in my kitchen sink on two PVC pipes. My landlord is very slow to fix things, so this was my temporary solution. (I don't want to move because my rent is exceptional and the neighborhood is great) I tried this on one side and used the whole roll to be absolutely certain that it would stay in place. Like other reviews mentioned, it is difficult for the tape to stick to anything but itself. I found that when I started wrapping the tape, I needed to hold one spot in place and then stretch the tape as far as I could and then start wrapping it around itself. Once I had the first wrap done, it was very easy for me to start building the other layers of tape around it. I ordered another roll for the other side of my sink and it has seemed to be holding up pretty well on each side. They have both been wrapped with tape for around 2 weeks. I noticed a tiny bit of leaking the first two-three days after wrapping, but now I see no leaks at all. I think over time, the tape fuses to itself more. I had to keep buckets under my sink for a long time and now I don't have to worry about them anymore. I understand that this is a temporary fix, but this was much easier (for the moment) than hassling my landlord or trying to replace the sink myself (which I really don't want to spend the money on). My advice to others would be to take your time while wrapping the tape around whatever you need to. If you have a bigger project, I would suggest buying two rolls at a time to be safe. It's quite easy to run out of one roll if you're not paying close enough attention like I did. I am satisfied with my purchase and it has provided me peace of mind with leaky sink pipes.

I'm sorry I did not take a before picture or video. I ordered this on April 7 and it arrived within a few days I used it on April 11th and was impressed right away but wanted to see if it would last. It has, doing a job I never thought would work. We live in an old Los Angeles apartment which has its charms and its disadvantages. The handy man means well but good intentions do not make good plumbing. The kitchen sink needed to be reseated. That was accomplished but the the ensuing pipe misalignment was a joke. Could literally twang and move the white plastic pipe like a cartoon banjo. Did that obvious one first, had success and then realized the leak on the right. Used to keep a bowl or pan under the sink. Like some kind of animal. Applied this tape, using the suggested method of __pulling tight, wrapping a strip clockwise and then another strip counter clockwise.__ It worked right away and has held tight for over a month. I buy a lot on Amazon but rarely review. This hasd improved my life so much I felt compelled to share. If you need it, GET THIS!

I've been using Rescue Tape for many years, since I became an Amateur Radio operator ("ham") - on the recommendation of many "Elmers" (mentors), I started using it to seal weather intensive coax fitting connections - it is waterproof, lasts forever, and works great. I've since used it for many, many other things, and it always comes through. Other brands, not so much - I've had them breakdown after a year or two in the coastal weather, they don't stretch as well, and they don't fuse as well. Buy the best, buy Rescue Tape.

I had never known about this kind of product -- a tape that could plug leaking pipes... I tested this on a leaking garden hose, and indeed, no water sprayed out any more. When you apply it, start a bit further down from the leak, wrap the silicone tape once at that place (pull as tightly as you can -- the tighter you can make it, the stronger the seal becomes), then turn it 45 degrees and continue wrapping towards the leak. Be sure to overlap at least half the width of the tape over itself. The overlapping is what creates the seal -- remember: pull as tight as you can. Continue until you go past the leak, then wrap the tape over itself one last time to finish up. I'm impressed!
