How to use our tape?

Installing Water Leakage Tape onto your pipes is very easy:

1. 1. Apply our Water Leakage tape very firmly around the (damaged) pipe, extending 2 inches beyond repair.
2. 2. Continue to apply pressure on the tape by molding it in one direction until the tape begins to set.
3. 3. If necessary, cut the excess tape with a knife or scissors. Clean tools with alcohol/acetone.

The fiberglass cloth tape is impregnated with a water-activated resin prior to packaging. Normal setting time is approximately 20 minutes, depending on the temperature. Its exceptional adhesion and resistance to harsh marine conditions ensure a secure and long-lasting seal, even under high pressures of up to 10 bar.
