Review on 🔧 X-Treme Tape TPE-X36ZLB: Silicone Rubber Self Fusing Tape, 1" x 36', Triangular Shape, Black - Ultimate solution for all your sealing needs by Curby Alston

This is a self-adhesive elastic. This means that it is ONLY attached to itself. You wrap the item to be taped while at the same time stretching the tape as you wrap it, compressing the wrapped item and causing the tape to stick and fuse to itself. Unlike any other type of tape, this one doesn't stick to anything else, it's held around the object by the tension of the tape. I bought it to use as a grip tape for a stick grip. For that it works great. It has good friction with the hand without the annoying stickiness of the cloth friction tape. And unlike cloth rubbing tape, it won't leave black marks on things it touches. I've found that the texture of the overlapping band helps me grip the stick's grip. Incidentally, to remove the tape, it is best to cut the tape off with a clerk or office knife. If you do this it will come loose easily as it is not attached to anything other than itself. Because this type of ribbon is different from most ribbons, I suggest reading the directions and then practicing with some of the shape you want to wrap before you begin. : Fits most shapes. Can be used to add a degree of softness. Very good grip properties without feeling sticky. Therefore, it may not be appropriate to stop leaks in pipes unless they are pressurized (in fact, fixing a leak in a pipe with tape is never recommended). , otherwise it won't work.
