XFasten Self Fusing Silicone Tape Waterproof – 1" x 36 Feet Black, Self Amalgamating Tape, Silicone Rubber for Plumbing, Sealing Pipes, Hose Repair, Outdoor Coax and Electrical Cables – Weatherproof

Perfect for heat pipes. In my house for 25 years and one of the heating system pipes sprung a leak. I bought this tape and installed it as per the instructions. I ordered the black as the pipes are black. I had to adjust the tape when installing and there was no residue left on the pipe from where I removed the tape. After installing the tape, I waited for it to adhere to the pipe for a few hours and turned the heating system back on.... NO LEAKS! I even put some on the area where the pipe connection is and this also sealed it up. I finally had a plumber come in to check the pipe out and I was told that this should last for many years. I will probably have the pipes replaced in a few years (due to age) but so far, Everything is running fine! Recommended for anyone.

I bought the XFasten Self Fusing Silicone Tape for an emergency repair on a well pipe, and I’m absolutely impressed with how well it worked. The tape is super easy to apply—just wrap it around the leak, and it fuses to itself without the need for any adhesive. The tape creates a tight, waterproof seal that’s perfect for quick fixes like mine. It held up really well under pressure, and I’ve had no issues since applying it. The silicone material is durable and flexible, making it ideal for pipes that are exposed to water or extreme temperatures. It’s also very strong, so I’m confident this will last for a long time. For anyone needing an effective, reliable solution for emergency pipe repairs, this tape is a must-have. I’m definitely keeping it on hand for future repairs around the house! Pros: • Easy to apply, no adhesive needed • Creates a strong, waterproof seal • Works great for emergency pipe repairs • Durable and flexible silicone material • Reliable and long-lasting Cons: • None so far!

Wow, this is some very good, but unusual tape—it does not feel as though there is any adhesive on it, but the moment it comes in contact with itself, it immediately begins fusing together!

This is a serious product that when applied properly , will shore up any water leak on a pipe

Worked well. I had an imperfectly glued PVC pipe joint on A/C condensate line recently. Rather than laboring over breaking the joint and refitting it, I used this tape to seal it quickly. Tape itself is not all that "sticky" but when stretched by about 50% and tightly wrapped around the joint, the seal was perfect and the joint looked like it was intended to look. I'd buy/use again for similar low pressure applications where I can get overlapping wrap pattern.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I like this tape much better than adhesive tapes. Because it has no adhesive it doesn't stick to parts that I'm trying to assemble, only to itself. Comes time to take it apart, no problem, cut the tape and it comes right off with no sticky residue on parts. Very stretchy lengthwise so it can bind like a rubber band. Does not instantly bond to itself. If you don't get it wrapped exactly the way you want, you have maybe 10 seconds to pull it apart and try again. Great for fixing tool handles, wrapping bicycle handlebars, etc. Provides a good grip area on baseball bats, tennis rackets, etc. I like this particular brand because it's clear and reasonably priced.

Works well to seal amateur radio coaxial connectors. The plastic case which comes with the tape should help the self adhering tape last longer, as this type of tape has a relatively short shelf life compared to standard electrical tape. When shelf life is exceeded, the tape will not stick to itself as well as when it is fresh. The clear color I chose makes it more useable in multiple applications without worrying about color mismatch.

Great product. Works perfect. Nice that it is a bit wider than most tapes of this kind.

Great to have around the house. Not the cheapest in this product category, but silicon tape quality seems good and spindle with lid gives proper feel.

Pratique pour les petites fuites d’eau sans avoir à tout démonter, coller ou souder

Great self-fusing silicone tape for so many uses both indoors and outdoors, including sports grips, sealing joints on eavestrough downspouts or sectioned metal broom handles, adding a slightly grippy or protective wrap to tool handles of all sorts (incl hairdryer), and a quick semi-permanent fix for a leaking plumbing pipe or even a cracked vacuum cleaner hose, for instance. I like that it withstands hot and cold temperatures and that it can be removed without leaving a glue residue. If your looking for standard electrical tape or a sticky type of tape, this is not it. It's also not for use on fabric type textiles or anything with loose, flaky, dusty debris. This fusion tape was a decent price for the quantity. It works as intended when used and stored correctly. I like that the roll comes in a see-through storage box. Bought 2 different colours -- Yellow and black. Should last me quite some time.

I used this tape to make my smart candle bulbs a little more quiet. The idea was to isolate the glass from the shade that is supported by metal wire. I hope they will transfer to any following bulbs but these usually last a lifetime. You just need to make it long enough to cover the area of contact and then stretch the tape to overlap a short distance to make it bond.
