 An easy shortcut in some situations Jul 31, 2010
By DavidM
When I opened the box I was disappointed at how small a roll of tape I had bought.
But when I first found a use for it, I became a believer. This stuff is great to have around.
I have a leaky irrigation hose. I could either make a project of digging it up and replacing it, or I could patch it if I could find a patch method that would work easily. A short length of this tape, stretched and wrapped around the hose while it was spraying water, fixed the problem in a couple of minutes instead of a couple of hours. The patch has held up through several days worth of two hours' irrigation daily, and it's looking solid. I'm glad to to have the rest of the roll on hand for the future.
This tape is not a film with separate adhesive; it seems to be a homogeneous stretchy substance that melds to itself. So when you stretch it thin and wrap it around something, the layers fuse together and it becomes like a band around the thing you've wrapped. For shipping and storage, the tape is separated by layers of an ordinary plastic film; that's why the roll you see photographed looks like it has wrinkled edges. The separating film is much wider than the actual rescue tape itself, presumably to keep the rescue tape effectively separated from the next layer of it.

Amazing Rescue Tape Aug 28, 2008
By Colin S. Archibald
I have now done two emergency repairs with this product preventing expensive emergency (after hours) costs for a plumber to come out. I had a cracked pipe which I simply wrapped with this product and had the plumber come out to replace the pipe four days later (after a long holiday weekend). I have now given this as a gift to several friends, have it at home, work and in my RV. I wouldn't be without it.

Unbelievable Product Dec 12, 2009
By Gepetto
This product has more uses than one can imagine. I used it for woodworking glue-ups, firming up hockey gear....oh, I can't list all the applications. It adheres well to most everything, it stretches, it doesn't leave sticky marks like duct tape...just a great product. As the volume picks up I hope the price comes down.

Ridiculously awesome Jul 10, 2010
By M. J Lane
I wish i had known something like this existed ages ago. I have a small crack in the pipe under my kitchen sink and I really didn't feel like having the super come fix it. However, with this tape wrapped around it there is no longer a problem.
It takes a little bit of practice but it will form an extremely tight seal around even an irregularly shaped pipe fitting. it is important to overlap it and to stretch it while applying it so that it will cling to the pipe with some pressure. Once the tape touches itself it fuses together.

Good stuff. Dec 29, 2008
By Amazon Shopper2
I, like the previous reviewer, have given the tape as a gift- to my brother the electrician. I have found an entirely different use for the tape. I have 2 cooking pans (the Rachael Ray pans) and I have wrapped the handles with this tape to extend the silicone grips. Works like a charm and is holding after repeated washings.
