- Leak seal
- Outdoor
- Emergency repair
A wide 4-inch rubberized tape with triple-thick rubber that conforms to odd shapes and seals leaks even on wet surfaces, bonding to PVC, metal, wood, and ceramic for gutters and pipes. It is useful for emergency, low-pressure patches. But the marketing oversells it: high-pressure plumbing leaks need a real repair, and it cannot be repositioned.
Pros
- Triple-thick rubber conforms to odd shapes and seals leaks even on wet surfaces
- Bonds to PVC, metal, wood, ceramic and more for gutters, pipes and tarps
- Wide 4 in format patches large cracks and gaps a narrow tape cannot
Cons
- Marketing oversells it, high-pressure plumbing leaks still need a real repair
- Very short 5 ft roll makes the per-foot cost high
- Once pressed down it is nearly impossible to remove cleanly or reposition
