Review on XFasten Self-Fusing Silicone Tape Pro: 30Mils Weatherproof Seal For Outdoor Coax, Electrical Cables & Pipe Leaks | 1.5In X 15Ft Black by Derrick Bellando

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good width helps with extra coverage

Most of these self-fusing tapes are rather narrow. This is a good 1.5 inches wide. Use some overlap and give a little pull on the tape while wrapping to get the best sealing. This worked well on a rubber air hose. It is also good for pinhole leaks in copper pipes. It would not rely on it as permanent solution but it is good for temporary patches. I also recommend keeping a roll in your car to seal any leaks in coolant hoses. This has a good thickness too compared to some of the competition. Recommended.

Pros
  • PERFECT AS A SILICONE ELECTRICAL TAPE. This Silicone self-fusing electrical tape insulates up to 950 volts/mil and dissipates the heat generated to resist melting, weathering, and tearing. The XFasten Self-vulcanizing tape is also waterproof, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Cons
  • The tape may be prone to stretching or shearing under tension, which could compromise its sealing properties
