I believe its pretty goo, i think we have started trialling it here onsite.

I have been using it for the last 3 or 4 years,I use it instead of insulation tape and carry a role in all my vehicles for emergency use.I also use it on my air filter where the lid joins the body,as a seal against water ingress.It is expensive but worth it in my view.
I just topped up my supply on Friday from the Camping show at Rosehill,3 rolls of the normal 25mm tape and a roll of the 50mm .

Wayne,
Have you ever repaired a radiator hose with it.

I haven't personally,but I do know someone that has.I did repair my garden hose though
And I did stop an air leak from a locker airline that had a hole in it,until I replaced the line a few months later

having used it a few times now.

it is where it said it was at the beginning.

is it as good as it claims? usually.

do youself a favor, buy a roll to play with, once you know how its pretty good, thinking you can just unwrap your first roll and make a perfect oring first time when you need it most in the worst conditions and racing a tide or timetable is a mistake

I used some on a split top hose and it held together fine. I drove it like that for a couple of weeks until I got around to buying a new one. I always carry a couple of rolls, just in case.

I used the stuff to repair a radiator hose in my old kombi which had a v6 Commodore engine it hose was rubbing on engine and burst going down highway
Tape fixed it till I got home and replaced it with a metal pipe was glad I had just bought a couple cartons of water
So can't say how good it is long term but if it just needed to get home to repair it no problem

Dad bought a few rolls a while ago, at a 4WD show down here.

Seems to be a bit hit and miss. When it works, it works great. Sometimes we found that it just wouldn't take, or bond.

Maybe we just had a dud roll.

Worth grabbing a couple, just in case.
