Wonder tape

Needed this to bend a lead water mains pipe as the plumber cannot change it for another 2 weeks yet. I wrapped it with the tape & the again along the area to be bent & this has done the job perfectly. There is just under half of the roll left and at the price I paid, this is a fantastic buy. I can carry on doing the rendering work. Great stuff.Read full review...

Far from the best S.A. tape, but easily the cheapest

I bought this because it was good value. I have to admit it was a bit of a disappointment..... the tape is more plastic and less rubbery than other manufacturers' tape.

It doesn't stretch as far as better makes, so it has less contraction to allow it to grip on itself (I hope that that'll make sense if you know Self Amalmagating tape). It actually snapped a couple of times while I was applying it - which I've never experienced before.

All in all, it's cheap and not too nasty. However, I don't have any use for it. I wanted to weatherproof electrical connections (low voltage DC) and I don't trust it to last......so although it will work it's not good enough to replace real SA tape...... my advice is spend the extra couple of quid and buy a more reputable brand.

Perfect

This is great tape. Good quality and works as it should. I don't have a comparison because iv never used this type of tape before. However I personally think it great because it's sticky, stretchy and self amalgates !Read full review...

Essential part of any tool kit

First came across this stuff a couple of years ago, and would never be without. Keep a couple of rolls in the car, more in the tool cabinet and a couple spare. Easy to use. Stretch to activate, start peeling backing off and wrap.
As long as you stretch it properly it will seal leaks in low pressure pipes. It will waterproof any cable joint and protect joins from corrosion. After a time you will find it is one solid piece of rubber

V good, dries well (some remain tacky)

Once you've got the shiny covering off, stretch then seal or wrap whatever you want. I found it dries well (some I've used remain spongy or tacky) so you can wrap it around a tool. It even stretches a bit when dry, if necessary: with three or more layers you can effectively make a rubber ring of any size.Read full review...

bring back the old stuff

if you have wide open access to the job its ok , you have to really stretch it to get it stick to itself.if acces is limmited , and you cant streatch it all the way arround it doesent work, it wont grip on itself.

The old fabric tape impergnated with sealant was way better.

Good useful product.

Very handy product. I use it for several things including wrapping electrical cables in car looms through to repairing small water pipes and tubing. If you have enough space to wrap this around itself it gives a good tight seal.Read full review...

The best self amalgamating tape at the price.

The best self amalgamating tape at the price. Does the job well although the backing plastic tape is slightly difficult to separate from the rubber tape, but at the price it's a bargain.

Doesn't stick

Compared to the tape I bought before this one it's pretty useless, doesn't stick to itself and just unravels, not worth the couple of quid spent.
