Tommy Tape® Self-Fusing Silicone Tape The next generation of tape is here — premium, adhesive-free repair and sealing tape for fast fixes at home, on the job, and on the road. Tommy Tape self-fusing silicone tape saves time and money across plumbing, electrical, automotive, marine, garden, and industrial jobs. Unlike vinyl or cloth tapes, it uses no adhesive. Instead, it chemically bonds (self-fuses) to itself on contact to form a tough, flexible, and permanently water-tight wrap — even underwater. Why you’ll love it Extreme temperature range: operates from −65 °F to +500 °F (approx. −54 °C to +260 °C). Electrical safety: insulates up to 8,000 V per layer (typical PVC electrical tape ≈ 600 V). Leaves no residue: no adhesive means no sticky mess when removed. Weather- & waterproof: seals within seconds; ideal for outdoor and marine use. Flexible & form-fitting: stretches over 300% to wrap irregular shapes, fittings, and bends. Built to last: resists UV, oil, salt, and common chemicals; helps combat corrosion. Popular uses Plumbing: emergency seals on copper, PVC, and garden hoses; patch vacuum and pool hoses. Electrical: bundling and insulating leads, wire harnesses, extension-cord strain relief (power off first). Automotive & 4×4: wrap frayed looms, protect hoses, create quick roadside fixes. Marine: mast boot wraps, deck-side waterproofing, salt-spray protection. Tools & grips: re-grip shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows, gym dumbbells, walking canes. Sports & DIY: re-grip golf clubs, tennis/pickleball paddles; improve wheelchair and shower-chair grip. Home & garden: weatherproof outdoor cables, protect back-yard gear and appliances. Industrial: protective wraps on fittings, temporary containment where adhesives aren’t suitable. How to apply (best results) Prep: Turn power/water off where applicable. Clean and dry the area if possible. Start & anchor: Peel off the liner, stretch the tape as you begin to wrap, and press the starting end onto itself to anchor. Stretch & overlap: Stretch to at least 2× its length (more stretch = stronger fuse). Overlap each wrap by ½ width. Build layers: Add additional layers for higher pressure, stronger seals, or increased dielectric protection. Finish: End the wrap on itself and press firmly. Full fusion develops quickly; handle with care while it sets. Remove: Cut off (do not unwind) when it’s time to replace — it leaves no residue.

FrogTape Pro Grade Deck and Joist Flashing Tape is a linerless, black waterproofing tape made to shield the timber parts of a deck from moisture, supplied here as a 96mm wide x 15.2m roll. It suits deck joists, stair stringers, posts and ledger boards, adding a protective layer over the surfaces most exposed to water, and it is a practical choice for both builders and capable DIYers.About the formulaThe tape pairs a solventless acrylic adhesive (ShurGRIP) with a conformable black polyolefin film backing. The adhesive is made using a UV curing process, is free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and is designed not to react with common caulks and sealants. The film bends easily around edges, corners and other transitions, and the tape self-heals around nails, screws and other fasteners to keep a waterproof seal. It is self-wound, so there is no release liner to peel and dispose of, and no primer is needed.Where to use itOutdoors: the tops and sides of deck joists, stair stringers, posts and ledger boards in residential deck construction, where the tape helps keep water away from framing timber.Installation temperature: it can be applied in a wide range, from -18°C to 65°C, and once installed it is designed to keep performing from -40°C to 115°C. It is rated for all-weather performance, including cold and damp conditions, and has 12-month UV resistance while exposed.Suitable surfaces include pressure-treated timber, OSB, concrete and other common building materials. The adhesive is initially repositionable, so you can adjust placement before pressing it down firmly.How to use itMake sure the surface is clean, dry and free of grease, oil and other contaminants. Unroll the tape along the joist, stringer, post or ledger, position it, then press it down firmly so the adhesive makes full contact. Work the tape around edges and corners, and press it into the surface around fasteners. Wider widths wrap further down the sides of a joist, so choose the width that best matches your framing. The same tape is also made in 48mm, 152mm and 304mm widths.Important notesThe manufacturer states the tape meets the AAMA 711-22 flashing tape test protocol. The 12-month UV resistance applies to the tape while it is exposed, so cover it with your decking or cladding in good time. As with any building product, check that it suits your surface and method of application before starting a larger job.Specifications Brand FrogTape Product Pro Grade Deck and Joist Flashing Tape (FSW 058) Size 96mm x 15.2m roll (1 roll) Colour Black Thickness 0.33mm Backing Black polyolefin film Adhesive Solventless acrylic Liner None (self-wound) Application temperature -18°C to 65°C Service temperature after install -40°C to 115°C UV resistance 12 months Standard AAMA 711-22 Use Exterior, above ground deck framing SafetyUse with normal care and keep the roll away from heat and open flame.

It suits quick indoor jobs as well as outdoor, automotive and marine projects where the fixing needs to cope with sun, moisture and temperature swings.About the tapeA white, double-sided foam mounting tape with a thickness of about 1.5mm. The manufacturer rates it to hold 30kg per metre of tape, tested to Australian Standard AS 2313.0-2006, and describes it as UV and moisture resistant. It stays serviceable across a temperature range of -20°C to +120°C, so it copes with heat and cold better than many everyday household tapes.Where to use itIndoors: mounting trims, panels, signs, organisers and light fittings to painted walls and other smooth, clean surfaces, without leaving screw holes.Outdoors: fixing items to suitable exterior surfaces, plus automotive and marine projects where weather and moisture resistance matter.The manufacturer lists suitable materials as glass, metal, timber and plastics, as well as painted walls. Test plastics and freshly painted or textured surfaces on a small area first.How to use itClean both surfaces so they are free of dust, grease, oil and loose paint, and let them dry fully. Measure and cut the tape to length, apply it to the item, then peel off the backing and position the item carefully. Press down firmly and evenly across the whole length of the tape. Use enough tape to spread the load, because the weight rating applies per metre of tape.Important notesBond strength depends on surface preparation and on how firmly the tape is pressed on, so take care with both. Dusty, oily, flaking, damp or very rough surfaces will weaken the hold. The 30kg per metre rating is a manufacturer test figure, so allow a safety margin for items that are valuable, overhead or subject to vibration. Check that your surface is suitable before mounting anything heavy.Specifications Brand Permastik Product Ultra Bond Mounting Tape (Model 119) Size 5m x 32mm roll Thickness Approx. 1.5mm Colour White Material Double-sided foam mounting tape Holding capacity 30kg per metre of tape (tested to AS 2313.0-2006) Temperature range -20°C to +120°C Application Hand applied, peel and stick Use Interior and exterior SafetyUse with normal care and keep the tape away from young children.

Sika Sikasil Auto is a neutral-cure, one-component silicone adhesive sealant made for vehicle repair and trim work, supplied here in a handy 75g tube. It forms a permanent, flexible bond or seal on a wide range of automotive materials, and the cured rubber copes with sunlight, salt spray, temperature swings, vibration and regular car-wash products without hardening, shrinking or cracking.About the formulaA moisture-curing, one-component silicone with a neutral cure, so it does not give off the acidic smell of acetic silicones and is described by the manufacturer as non-corrosive. It cures by reacting with moisture in the air, starting at the surface and working into the core of the joint. Cure speed depends on humidity and temperature, and it cures more slowly in cold conditions. Once cured it is a soft, stretchy rubber with strong thermal, UV, weathering and vibration resistance, and it stays serviceable from -50°C up to 250°C.Where to use itIndoors: bonding small interior components and trim, sealing joints, and cutting down noise and vibration inside the vehicle.Outdoors: sealing and bonding small exterior parts and joints on cars and other vehicles where weather, UV and salt spray are a concern.Suitable materials include fibreglass, metals, most plastics, glass and painted surfaces. Always test on the actual substrates and under your real conditions first to confirm adhesion and material compatibility.How to use itApply at ambient temperatures between 5°C and 45°C onto clean, dry surfaces that are free of oil, grease and dust. Run the sealant into the joint or onto the part and assemble or tool it before it skins over. At 23°C and 50% relative humidity it skins in about 10 minutes and is tack free in about 20 minutes. Excess uncured sealant can be wiped off with Sika Remover-208 or a similar product. Cured sealant has to be trimmed or scraped away mechanically. If you get it on your skin, wash straight away with SikaCleaner-350H or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water. Do not use solvents on skin.Important notesSikasil Auto cannot be overpainted, so complete any painting before sealing or mask the area. It cures to a depth of about 3 mm in 24 hours, so deeper joints and thicker beads take longer.

The Deks Dektite Premium #7 is a red silicone roof flashing for sealing larger pipe, flue and vent penetrations through metal roofing, supplied here as a single unit that suits pipes from 150mm to 300mm. A flexible silicone cone fits snugly around the pipe, and a formable aluminium edge lets the large square base follow the shape of your roof sheeting. It is built for the heat, UV and weather swings of Australian roofs.About the productThe cone is moulded from red silicone polymer. Deks rates it for constant temperatures at the roofline from -50°C up to 200°C, so it also suits hot flues and exhausts as well as cold pipes. The cone is designed to hold firm contact against the pipe wall for a watertight seal. The malleable aluminium edge bends to match corrugated and ribbed profiles. The wide 456mm square base gives you a more forgiving fit over a larger or slightly untidy opening. Deks lists UV testing, BAL 29 and other certifications for the range on its product page.Where to use itIndoors: not applicable, this is a roof-top flashing. It is fitted from the outside where the pipe leaves the building.Outdoors: single pipe, flue, vent, exhaust or similar round penetrations on metal roofs, including hot-flue applications that suit the temperature range above.Suitable for a single round penetration with an outside diameter of 150mm to 300mm on metal roof profiles. Check the pipe size before you order, as the cone is trimmed to fit and cannot be made larger.How to use itMeasure the outside diameter of the pipe and trim the silicone cone with sharp shears at the matching point so it grips the pipe snugly. Slide the flashing down over the pipe and bend the aluminium edge to match the roof profile. Fix the base to the roof with suitable screws and seal as recommended by the manufacturer. Check that the cone sits tight against the pipe and that the base follows the sheeting with no gaps.Important notesAlways follow the Deks installation instructions for your roof profile and pipe. Wear gloves when handling the aluminium edge, as trimmed and formed edges can be sharp. This product is a flashing, not a sealant, and the base should be fixed and sealed with fasteners and sealants suited to your roof. If you are unsure about fitting to hot flues or in bushfire-prone areas, check the relevant requirements or ask a licensed roofer or plumber.Specifications Brand Deks Product Dektite Premium #7 Red Silicone Roof Flashing Pack 1 flashing Pipe outside diameter 150mm to 300mm Base size 456mm x 456mm (square) Overall height About 99mm Colour Red Material Silicone cone with formable aluminium base Temperature range at roofline -50°C to 200°C (constant) Roof pitch 0 to 45 degrees Use Exterior, metal roofs SafetyTake normal care when working at heights and use fall protection where required.

Boston Silicone Self-Fusing Tape in black is a 3 metre roll of stretchy repair tape made for quick fixes on leaking pipes and hoses. It fuses to itself as you wrap it, so there is no glue involved. It forms a watertight and airtight wrap, which makes it a handy emergency item for the plumbing kit, the toolbox or the shed.About the formulaThis is a silicone tape with no adhesive coating. It bonds only to itself, which means it does not leave sticky residue and can be removed cleanly when the job is done. The tape stretches well beyond three times its length, and that stretch is what lets it pull tight around pipes, hoses and fittings. It is rated for a very wide temperature range, from -55°C to +260°C. The black colour hides dirt and grime and blends in with black fittings.Where to use itIndoors: temporary sealing of weeping pipes, hose joins and fittings around the laundry, bathroom, kitchen or workshop; adding a comfortable, slip-resistant grip to tool handles.Outdoors: emergency repairs on garden hoses and tubing, and general fast fixes around the home, garden or workshop.The tape is designed for wrapping around pipes, hoses, fittings and tool handles. It is a multipurpose repair tape, so it also suits many other small wrap-and-seal jobs.How to use itMake sure the area you are repairing is clean and free of dirt and grease. Peel back the end of the tape and begin wrapping straight over the leak. Stretch the tape as you wind it on and overlap each turn, extending past the damaged spot on both sides. Press the finished wrap firmly so the layers fuse into one continuous seal. To fit a tool grip, wrap the tape around the handle in the same way. Cut the tape to length with scissors or a knife.Important notesBoston positions this tape for emergency and quick repairs. If a pipe or hose is badly damaged, plan to replace the affected section. Because the tape fuses only to itself, it will not stick to a surface if simply laid flat, so always wrap it back over itself. Keep the unused roll in a cool, dry place out of direct sun. Please follow the instructions that come with the pack.Specifications Brand Boston Product Silicone Self-Fusing Tape Pack 1 roll, 3m length Colour Black Material Silicone Application Hand wrapped, fuses to itself (no adhesive) Stretch Over 300% Temperature range -55°C to +260°C Use Pipe and hose leak repair, tool grips SafetyAs a general precaution, keep the tape out of reach of small children. Do not rely on it as a permanent fix for pressurised or safety-critical plumbing. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full details.

Sika SikaLastomer-710 is a black, solvent-containing butyl sealant in a 310ml cartridge, made for permanently plastic joints that may need to be taken apart again later. It is a one-component paste that stays workable on the joint, so it suits vehicle, caravan and general industrial sealing where a removable seal is an advantage.About the formulaA butyl-based paste with a non-sag body that stays where it is applied. It contains solvents and sets by physical drying, meaning the solvent evaporates rather than a chemical reaction taking place, so no heat is needed. Sika lists good ageing resistance and a wide adhesive spectrum, and the joint stays plastic in service. The black colour helps the seal blend into dark components. It is resistant to fresh water, seawater, limewater and water-based cleaning solutions, but has only weak resistance to fuels, mineral oils and vegetable or animal fats.Where to use itVehicles and transport: plastic seals in cars, buses, trucks and caravans where the joint may need to be separated later.Industrial: plastic sealing of joints in a range of industrial sectors, including appliance and equipment assembly.Sika states it adheres well with minimal surface preparation to almost every common substrate used in these fields. Always test on your actual materials first, as the manufacturer notes the user must check suitability for the intended job.How to use itMake sure the joint surfaces are clean and dry. Apply the sealant into the joint with a manual or compressed-air gun, working carefully to avoid trapping air. Do not apply below 10°C or above 35°C. Joints can be tooled with soapy water. On non-porous surfaces, dried sealant can be removed by dabbing it off. On porous surfaces, cured sealant can only be removed mechanically. Wash hands and exposed skin straight away with a hand wipe or suitable industrial hand cleaner and water, and do not use solvents on skin.Important notesSika supplies this product for experienced professional users only. It can only be overpainted with some water-based paint systems, and compatibility must be tested first. Paint is usually less elastic than the sealant, so it may crack over the joint. Tests under real working conditions are needed before production use. Sika quotes weak resistance to fuels and oils, so it is not a good choice where the joint will be exposed to them.Specifications Brand Sika Product SikaLastomer-710 Butyl Sealant Pack 1 x 310ml cartridge Colour Black Base Butyl, contains solvents Cure mechanism Physical drying, no heat required Density (uncured) 1.4 kg/L Application temperature 10 to 35°C Skin time 10 to 20 minutes (23°C, 50% r.h.) Shrinkage 12% Service temperature -30 to 80°C Shelf life 15 months Application Cartridge, via manual or compressed-air gun Use Professional, industrial and vehicle sealing SafetyThis product contains solvents, so use it with good ventilation and keep it away from heat and ignition sources. Avoid prolonged skin contact and wash hands after use. Keep out of reach of children. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full details.

Kinetic Heavy Duty Thread Seal Tape is a pink PTFE plumber's tape for sealing threaded pipe and fitting connections, supplied here as a handy pack of five 12mm x 10m rolls. It gives a clean, positive seal on screwed joints and helps stop leaks at plumbing and heating connections, with a wide working temperature range for hot and cold duty.About the formulaThis is a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) film tape in a heavy duty grade, coloured pink for easy identification on the job. PTFE is naturally corrosion resistant, so the tape will not rust or degrade the way some paste-type sealants can. It is rated for a working temperature of -100°C to 250°C. The tape is not an adhesive: it works by filling the small gaps between mating threads as the joint is tightened.Where to use itPlumbing: threaded water pipe connections and screwed brass fittings, which is the primary application listed for this pack.Heating: threaded joints in heating pipework and similar screwed connections.Suitable pipe and fitting materials include plastic, brass, copper, aluminium, galvanised steel and iron.How to use itMake sure the threads are clean and free of oil, dust and old sealant. Wrap the tape onto the male thread in the same direction the thread turns, so the tape does not unwind when the fitting is tightened. Keep light tension on the tape so it moulds into the thread form. Use several overlapping wraps (typically about four for small threads, with more for larger sizes), then screw the fitting together and tighten as normal. Test the joint under pressure before putting the system into service.Important notesWrapping against the direction of the thread can cause the tape to bunch up and unwind. Do not over-wrap, as too much tape can make fittings hard to assemble or crack plastic female fittings. Check that the tape is approved for your specific application, such as potable water or gas, before use, as approval details for this exact pack are not confirmed here. Keep away from open flames and do not use beyond the stated temperature range.Specifications Brand Kinetic Product Heavy Duty Thread Seal Tape Pack 5 rolls Roll size 12mm wide x 10m long Thickness 0.1mm Colour Pink Material PTFE Working temperature -100°C to 250°C Corrosion resistant Yes Application Hand wrapped onto male threads Packaging Blister pack SafetyAs general precautions, keep out of reach of children, keep away from open flames, store in a cool, dry place and wash hands after handling.

Rust-Oleum LeakSeal Self-Fusing Silicone Tape is a no-adhesive repair tape for stopping leaks on pipes and hoses and for wrapping damaged wiring insulation, supplied here as a clear 25.4mm x 3.04m roll. It stretches and wraps around awkward shapes, then fuses to itself to form a tight, water-resistant seal that suits quick home fixes as well as automotive and workshop repairs.About the formulaThis is a silicone rubber tape that bonds to itself rather than to the surface underneath. That is why it peels away cleanly later without leaving a sticky residue. The manufacturer rates it excellent for moisture resistance, electrical insulation, UV and ozone resistance and corrosion prevention, and good for flame, abrasion, tear and solvent resistance. It is also rated good to fair for acid and oil resistance. It meets UL 510 and is claimed to insulate up to 8,000 volts.Where to use itIndoors: weeping or leaking pipes and joints, hoses on appliances, and frayed or worn cable insulation (see the electrical safety note below).Outdoors: garden and irrigation hoses, exposed pipework, and vehicle or equipment hoses and fittings exposed to sun and weather.Suited to wrapping around pipes, hoses, fittings and cables made from common materials such as metal and rubber. As the tape fuses to itself rather than relying on adhesion, it conforms to irregular shapes well. Test a small area first on delicate surfaces.How to use itDry the area to be repaired first. Hold the end of the tape firmly on the problem spot, then stretch the tape under tension as you wrap it around the object. Overlap each layer by about 13mm and keep wrapping so the tape lies over itself and fuses. Cover the whole problem area, cut the tape when finished and press the end down firmly. To remove it, simply unwrap or cut it off.Important notesThe tape needs to be stretched while wrapping, with each turn overlapping the last, to fuse properly. Loose or single-layer wraps will not seal. Treat it as an effective repair or emergency fix, and replace damaged pipes, hoses or cables where a permanent solution is needed. The manufacturer lists continuous operating temperatures from -45°C to 200°C and intermittent exposure from -65°C to 260°C, so keep it away from conditions above these limits. Do not rely on it to repair mains-voltage wiring: isolate the power first and have electrical work carried out by a licensed electrician. Avoid contact with strong oxidising agents, strong acids and strong alkalis.Specifications Brand Rust-Oleum Product LeakSeal Self-Fusing Silicone Tape Size 25.4mm x 3.04m roll (1 roll) Colour Clear Material Self-fusing silicone rubber tape Application Hand wrapped under tension, no adhesive or tools Continuous operating temperature -45°C to 200°C Intermittent operating temperature -65°C to 260°C Tensile strength 700 psi minimum Elongation 300% minimum Hardness Shore A 55 (+/- 5) after 24 hours Electrical insulation Up to 8,000 volts (manufacturer claim) Standard Meets UL 510 Use Interior and exterior SafetyWash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking after handling. If it gets in the eyes, rinse with water and remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. If heated to decomposition, silicone can give off acrid smoke and irritating fumes, so avoid excess heat and ensure good ventilation.

Rust-Oleum LeakSeal Self-Fusing Silicone Tape is a stretch-and-wrap repair tape for stopping leaks on pipes and hoses and for insulating damaged electrical wires, supplied here as a single black 25.4mm x 3.04m roll. It has no adhesive layer. Instead, each wrap fuses to the layer beneath it, so it forms a tight, sealed sleeve around the repair and can be cut off later without leaving sticky residue behind.About the formulaThis is a silicone rubber tape that bonds to itself rather than to the surface underneath. Rust-Oleum describes it as a moisture and chemical resistant barrier that also helps protect against corrosion. Its technical data sheet rates it Excellent for moisture resistance, electrical insulation, UV and ozone resistance and corrosion prevention. It rates solvent, abrasion and tear resistance as Good. Acid, oil and hydrocarbon resistance is rated Good to Fair. The tape has a minimum tensile strength of 700 psi, a minimum elongation of 300% and a Shore A hardness of 55 (plus or minus 5) once cured for 24 hours. It meets UL 510. Rust-Oleum states it insulates up to 8,000 volts.Where to use itIndoors: temporary or emergency repairs on leaking pipes, fittings and hoses, and insulating or protecting frayed electrical wires and cable joins.Outdoors: wrapping hoses, fittings and exposed connections that face moisture and sunlight, including automotive and general workshop repairs.Because it fuses to itself, it works best on pipes, hoses, cables and other tubular or irregular shapes that you can wrap fully around.How to use itDry the surface before you start. Press the end of the tape onto the problem area, hold it firmly, then stretch the tape with tension as you wrap it around the object. Overlap each layer by about 13mm (the manufacturer gives 1.2 to 1.4cm) and wrap the tape over itself so it fuses. Cover the whole problem area, cut the tape and press the end firmly into place. To remove, cut the tape carefully with scissors or a knife.Important notesThe tape fuses to itself, so wrap it all the way around the item with each layer overlapping the last. The 700 psi figure on the TDS is a tensile strength rating, so do not treat it as a working pressure rating for pipes. Keep pressurised, hot or critical repairs in line with the system's own requirements and replace them with a proper repair where needed. The TDS gives a continuous operating range of -45°C to 200°C and an intermittent range of -65°C to 260°C. Flame resistance is rated Good, so do not treat the tape as fireproof. For electrical repairs, make sure the circuit is isolated and have any permanent work done by a licensed electrician.Specifications Brand Rust-Oleum Product LeakSeal Self-Fusing Silicone Tape Model number 279241 Size 25.4mm wide x 3.04m long roll (single roll) Colour Black Base Self-fusing silicone rubber Application Hand applied, stretch and wrap Continuous operating temperature -45°C to 200°C Intermittent operating temperature -65°C to 260°C Tensile strength 700 psi minimum Elongation 300% minimum Hardness Shore A 55 (plus or minus 5), cured 24 hours Electrical insulation Up to 8,000 volts (manufacturer rating) Standard Meets UL 510 Use Interior and exterior SafetyIf it gets in your eyes, flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, keep the eyelids open, remove contact lenses if easy to do and keep rinsing.

Bostik Fill It Expanda Foam is a one-component, multipurpose polyurethane expanding foam for sealing, filling, bonding and insulating in a single step, supplied here in a 500ml aerosol can with a straw applicator. It expands to take up gaps and cavities of many sizes, then cures into an airtight, moisture-resistant seal that is designed not to shrink away from the surrounding surface.About the formulaA moisture-curing polyurethane foam that is ozone safe and has a mostly closed-cell structure, so it insulates against both heat and cold. Once cured it can be cut, sanded, plastered or painted to a neat finish. The included straw applicator lets you place foam into tight or awkward spots and apply it at any angle. The foam is not UV stable, so cured foam left exposed to sunlight should be painted.Where to use itIndoors: filling gaps and cavities around window and door frames, insulating around pipes, cutting down draughts, dust and noise, and adding a sound-absorbing layer or acoustic baffle.Outdoors: sealing openings in roof construction, filling larger holes and gaps in exterior walls, and helping to keep out insects and rodents (paint exposed cured foam).Suitable materials include concrete, brick, stone, plaster, timber and metal, as well as many plastics such as EPS, XPS, rigid PU foam and uPVC. It is not suitable for polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), PMMA, PTFE, soft plastics, neoprene or bituminous surfaces.How to use itMake sure surfaces are clean, dry and free of dust, grease and loose material. Apply within the temperature range given on the can (+5°C to +35°C). Fit the straw applicator, shake the can well as directed on the label, and fill gaps only part-way, because the foam expands as it cures. Follow the label and Safety Data Sheet for cleaning up uncured foam. Once cured, trim any excess by cutting or sanding, then paint, plaster or finish as required.Important notesDo not use where the foam will sit under a permanent water load, or in cavities that are too dry to supply the moisture needed for curing. The foam is moisture-curing, so cure time varies with temperature, humidity and the surface. Typical values at 20°C and 60% relative humidity are a skin time of about 8 to 12 minutes and a cure of around 1 hour for a 30mm bead. Uncured foam can stick firmly to skin and clothing, so keep it off both while working.Specifications Brand Bostik Product Fill It Expanda Foam Multipurpose Polyurethane Expanding Foam Pack 500ml aerosol can with straw applicator Colour Off-white Base One-component, moisture-curing polyurethane foam Application Aerosol can with straw applicator Application temperature +5°C to +35°C Skin time About 8 to 12 minutes at 20°C and 60% RH Cure rate About 1 hour for a 30mm bead at 20°C and 60% RH Temperature resistance (cured) -40°C to +90°C continuous Use Interior and exterior SafetyUse in a well-ventilated area, keep away from heat, sparks and open flames, and do not pierce or burn the can, even when empty.

Gorilla Super Glue 20g is a fast-setting, clear-drying instant adhesive for quick household repairs, supplied here as a single 20g bottle. It is a rubber-reinforced cyanoacrylate that grips within seconds and is designed to cope with everyday knocks and drops better than a standard instant glue.About the formulaA liquid ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive that cures when it meets the trace moisture on the surfaces being joined, so no clamping or mixing is needed. Gorilla markets the rubber-toughened formula as Impact-Tough, meaning the cured bond is better able to absorb bumps and wear. The bottle has an anti-clog cap with a metal pin inside that seals out air, which helps stop the glue drying out in the nozzle and lets you come back to the same bottle for repeat jobs. Once cured, the glue dries clear for a neat finish.Where to use itIndoors: small household repairs such as ceramics and crockery that will not be used for food, trinkets, toys, craft pieces, leather goods, paper items and loose trim or fittings.Outdoors: the manufacturer recommends Gorilla Super Glue primarily for indoor use, so choose a more weather-resistant adhesive for outdoor repairs that face constant moisture or sun.Suitable materials include metal, wood, ceramic, stone, rubber, leather, paper and most plastics. It is not recommended for polyethylene, polypropylene or similar plastics, and it is best to test an inconspicuous spot on any plastic first.How to use itProtect your work area from spills, and make sure the surfaces are clean and dry. Open the cap and apply a small amount to one surface, as a thin layer gives the best result. Press the parts together and hold them still until the glue grips, which takes seconds, so no clamp is needed. Wipe the nozzle clean and refit the cap firmly after each use so the metal pin can seal the bottle.Important notesCyanoacrylates need a little surface moisture to cure, so extremely dry surfaces can bond more slowly. Excess glue can bond skin in moments, so work carefully and keep fingers clear of the joint. Do not use as a load-bearing safety device. Not recommended for polyethylene or polypropylene plastics. Once cured, the manufacturer states the bond can hold from about -53°C to 104°C. Gorilla suggests unopened shelf life of roughly 18 to 24 months from manufacture, and up to about 6 months once opened is a good guide.Specifications Brand Gorilla Glue Product Gorilla Super Glue Pack 20g bottle (single) Colour Clear when dry Base Ethyl cyanoacrylate, rubber-toughened Application Squeeze bottle with anti-clog metal pin cap Set time About 10 to 45 seconds, no clamping required Cured temperature range -53°C to 104°C Use Primarily indoor SafetyUse only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, avoid breathing vapours, and wear protective gloves and eye protection. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flames, keep the container tightly closed and keep out of reach of children. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. If skin is bonded, do not pull apart; soak in warm soapy water and ease the skin gently apart. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full details.

Specifications Material Silicone rubber (self-fusing) Adhesive None (bonds to itself on contact) Dielectric Strength Up to 8,000 V per layer (build layers for higher insulation) Temperature Range −65 °F to +500 °F (approx. −54 °C to +260 °C) Resistance UV, oil, salt, weather, and common household/automotive chemicals Water Performance Weatherproof & waterproof; can be applied underwater in many scenarios Elongation Stretches over 300% for tight, conformal wraps Removal Cut off to remove; no sticky residue Colours / Sizes Varies by SKU (see options above) Better than traditional tapes Feature Tommy Tape Self-Fusing Silicone Vinyl / Cloth Electrical Tape Adhesive No adhesive (self-fuses) Pressure-sensitive adhesive (leaves residue) Waterproof Seal Yes — seals in seconds; can be used underwater Limited; adhesive can lift when wet Dielectric Strength Up to 8,000 V per layer Typically ~600 V Temperature Range −54 °C to +260 °C Narrower range; softens or becomes brittle UV/Chemical Resistance Excellent (UV, oil, salt, chemicals) Moderate; can degrade outdoors Residue on Removal None — clean cut-off Commonly leaves sticky residue FAQs Can I use it on live electrical circuits? No. Always switch power off before wrapping. Build sufficient layers for the required insulation, and follow local electrical standards. Will it stick to wet or oily surfaces? Because it bonds to itself (not the substrate), it can often be applied in damp or even underwater situations. For best results, clean and dry the area first. Is it reusable? Once fused, it forms a single mass. Cut it off to remove; it won’t unwind. Apply a fresh wrap if needed. What isn’t it for? Not a substitute for permanent structural repairs. Avoid use on fuel lines or high-pressure systems without proper engineering sign-off. Notes: Performance values are typical and depend on application method, substrate, and number of layers. Always test on a small area first. Follow safety guidelines for electrical and pressurised systems.
