This product is amazing. I have a favorite garden hose sprayer. This year 4 more identical holes were added to the pin hole in the metal rod but they all mostly splash on me. I ordered this tape for a fabric hose that I want to replace. He has too many vulnerabilities to fix intelligently. But on metal! This product ran down a wet metal shaft and stuck to itself, rather merging into itself. And I hope to continue to do so for years to come. I like it. I have plumbing wire for repairs and look forward to using this tape there as well. GRATITUDE!
