Pipe & Hose Repair Kit
"Air" Activated Fiberglass
Tape
The Pipe & Hose Repair Kit is a special resin impregnated
fiberglass tape sealed in a foil pouch. Once opened, the tape is simply wrapped around any
round surface and will set as hard as steel in about 30 minutes,
even underwater! Its design facilitates repairs in "hard
to reach areas" such as inside walls, or at connectors and fittings without
the need to cut pipes, Applied
correctly it will adhere to almost any surface and cure in approximately 30
minutes at 75 degrees F at lower temps it will take longer.
On copper pipe you
should clean the repair area with sand paper and muriatic acid (soldering
acid.) then flush with water. This tip is for copper pipe to get a good
bond.
SIZES AVAILABLE:
1" X 30" - 2" X 60"
- 3" X 108" - 4" X 180"

| Put on protective gloves supplied with
this kit, then tear open the pouch at the notch. To speed curing time add enough water
(fresh or salt) to cover the tape. Allow 20 seconds then remove the resin impregnated tape
from the foil pouch and apply to a clean surface. |
Firmly wrap the tape over the area to
be repaired pulling in the direction of the wrap. Extend the tape at least 2" beyond
the break in all directions. Apply 7 or 8 layers of tape over the break. |
IMPORTANT:
To increase strength and bonding continue to tighten and squeeze the tape in the direction
of the wrap until it is very tacky.
A second application may be applied, and excess
resin may be removed with alcohol or acetone before it cures. |
How to seal a Leak at a Pipe Joint |
 |
 |
 |
| Roll tape into a "bead" long
enough to encircle pipe one time against flange. |
Then open the tape to its full width and
continue wrapping. |
Continue working the air out of the
tape until it starts to cure (about 20 minutes.) This ensures proper Bonding. |
