A wide rubberized tape for emergency waterproof seals on tarps, gutters and low-pressure leaks. Great as a temporary fix, not a permanent plumbing solution.

Pros

  • Triple-thick rubber conforms to odd shapes and seals leaks even on wet surfaces
  • Bonds to PVC, metal, wood, ceramic and more for gutters, pipes and tarps
  • Wide 4 in format patches large cracks and gaps a narrow tape cannot

Cons

  • Marketing oversells it, high-pressure plumbing leaks still need a real repair
  • Very short 5 ft roll makes the per-foot cost high
  • Once pressed down it is nearly impossible to remove cleanly or reposition
