As you'll soon find out, X-Treme Tape can be a household hero. You may even want to add a couple of rolls to your survival kit since it's clearly a very versatile item.
After a couple of hours of threading and rethreading pipes with plumber’s pipe sealant tape to no avail, and no time to start from scratch with the flexible pipe she should have used, she resorted to a product she’d bought on a whim after stumbling on a YouTube video about it: a self-fusing silicone rubber tape called X-Treme Tape.
It permanently sticks to itself as you stretch it tightly around whatever you need to fix.
It turns out X-Treme Tape is good for all sorts of uses (it holds in temperatures from 60′ to 500′ and is UV resistant):
- Dishwasher Hoses
- Dryer Vents
- Washing Machine Drain Hoses
- Vacuum cleaner hose
- Leaky P-traps
- Cracked drain pipes
- Garden hoses and fittings
- Repair power cords
- Electrical Repairs
- Wind it around tools for grips
- Repair small electronics wire
- Seal Electrical Connections
- Air and Dryer Vents
- Protect against corrosion
- Clamp/hold glued parts in place
- Seal the frayed ends of rope and twine
