- Leak seal
- Outdoor
- Emergency repair
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
