Directions:

• Wrap Rescue Tape around project by stretching and overlapping onto itself. Stretch at least double to ensure a good bond; for high pressure leaks stretch to maximum amount. The tighter Rescue Tape is wrapped, the quicker and stronger the bond.
• Continue wrapping Rescue Tape around project by overlapping 50% onto itself so that ½ the width is covered with the next wrap. The first and last wrap should completely overlap onto the previous wrap for a complete bond. Additional layers may be necessary, and the same process should be used over the previous layers. Rescue Tape works on either side.
• Repositioning Rescue Tape is only appropriate in the first few seconds after wrapping. Attempting to reposition Rescue Tape after 1 minute or longer is not recommended. Rescue Tape is not reusable; however, additional Rescue Tape can be applied over project at any time in the future.

FAQs:

How does Rescue Tape work?

• Rescue Tape is a self-fusing tape. Ingredients in the silicone cause it to permanently bond to itself when stretched or forced together.

How long does it take Rescue Tape to fuse together?

• The tighter you stretch Rescue Tape, the quicker it bonds. In most cases, Rescue Tape bonds in just seconds and takes just a minute or two to become permanent. Because of our high quality control and superior ingredients, Rescue Tape is the fastest bonding self-fusing silicone on the market today.

What is the shelf life? How do I store Rescue Tape?

• For the longest shelf life, it should be kept at room temperature and away from direct light or heat. However, these factors only slightly alter the shelf life. Even when stored improperly, Rescue Tape should last for many years. Our customers have reported that our self-fusing silicone kept for decades will still work extremely well!

How much Rescue Tape should I use?

• When overlapping Rescue Tape by one-half as directed, you will automatically be left with a "double wrap." This is sufficient for most weatherproofing applications such as electrical wiring. However, when sealing leaks, the more you use, the stronger the seal will be. Typically 3 to 5 layers thick and 3 to 5 inches to both sides of a damaged hose should repair most leaks. Additional layers may be necessary.

Does the surface of my project have to be clean?

• No. Rescue Tape does not stick to the surface of a project, and therefore it does not matter whether the surface is clean or dirty. As long as you can overlap Rescue Tape onto itself, it will work, even if the surface is wet, dirty, or oily. You should avoid getting dirt or oil between the layers, however, as this will interfere with the bonding surface.

Which side of the tape should I use?

• Rescue Tape works on either side.

Will Rescue Tape ever come unraveled?

• As long as you have stretched Rescue Tape and followed the directions properly, Rescue Tape will permanently bond to itself and never come unraveled at the bond.

How can I remove Rescue Tape?

• Rescue Tape can be cut with a utility knife or scissors, and will never leave any sticky residue behind like traditional adhesive tapes because there's no adhesive!
