    Years back, I had a rock put a hole in my radiator on my dirt bike. Was the first 15 minutes of riding, on a weekend trip. I used an old timer trick to get through the weekend and it worked. It was just a pin hole though. I used a pepper packet from a fast food bag. Got me through the weekend and sealed the leak great. It wouldn't work in your case of course, but it does for small punctures. Also, I'd never recommend repairing hydraulic lines after Googling "hydraulic injection injury". That is some serious shit. Google it at your own risk of mental scarring lol.

    I think (at least the tape I have) it's self vulcanizing tape!

    Working on electrical in helicopters we use it to slow down the wear of wires due to the vibration. I really never knew it'd work for that purpose. We do call it pressure tape though!!

    good to seal a copper still too….so i have been told

    Nice video thanks! Quick tips… stretch it FAR (like until you think it's about to break) and make multiple layers… they sell this stuff at Harbor Freight but DON'T buy it, I've never had it work well so get something better quality! Also, cut it lengthwise into like 4mm strips and use it to reinforce phone charging cables! I like to wrap new cables as soon as I buy them and different colors make it easy to tell which is yours!

    Ive actually used that stuff to fix a pin hole in a fuel line on my old XJ. Wrapped it about 5 times in that tape then coated it with a layer of JB weld and heat wrap. Help up for almost 2 years before it started leaking again. We also use that stuff at my job to seal large gates high pressure heating and cooling hoses for our machinery when the spring a leak in the middle of a production run and we don't have time to replace the hose itself.

    I always forget about this stuff! Our road techs use this on emergency roadcalls on semi tractors with blown hoses. I'm gonna need to toss some in the back of my ZJ

    at 4:35, when you stretched it, it reminds of tv/satellite engineers self amalgamating tape they waterproofed coax joins with.

    I once used duct tape and super glue for a ruptured radiator hose. It held for the 500+ mile trip back home before I replaced it.

    Best use for silicone tape is electrical, super easy to wrap neatly and it's the easiest to cut after wrapping wires

    Hey Matt I was a jet engine mechanic in the navy and we used that stuff all the time on f-18 engines. We called ours cherry tape because it was red, Iโ€™m wondering if it was stronger for military applications. Btw loved the goofiness and editing reminds me of the really old material

    I just wrap it in a lot of duck tape, and keep a big jug of water in the bed….
    The farther you need to go, the bigger jug of water you need…

    I had to fix the compressor hose in my jeep on the trail i used electrical tape and zip ties , it lasted for like 5 more trips , iโ€™ll probably get this stuff and try it ๐ŸคŸ

    So say this is a โ€˜get back to the truckโ€™ fix. Could you just use electrical tape? I feel like itโ€™d be a similar result, especially if you cleaned and dried the hose first.

    I use it on flexible sump pump discharge hose – that stuff is always cracking from ice in the winter and with the tape, I don't need to buy new hose all the time.
