super bonding binding tape stuff ?

Sounds like they were displaying Rescue Tape : http://www.rescuetapeaustralia.com.au/

Though it wouldn't be any good for gluing products together as you mentioned.

Hope that helps.

Used a tape like that when on Telecom (Telstra) some yrs ago...wound on to a cable joint reasonably tight it welds into itself and makes a watertight seal...a fair bugger to get off if and when you have to , has to be cut off and with a very sharp knife or side cutters...cheers

Some years ago at country Elders rural store I brought a self annealing flexible fibreglass patch about 100mm square, it patch a section missing from a water pipe.

Dammed if I didn't back over another pipe a couple of weeks ago and unsucessfully sought out that product.

Instead at local hardware I got a roll of Tommy Tape , a self-adhering silicon tape which reads like a smaller version of Rescue tape as above.

Its from www.timbermate.com.au

I think the part flexible patch is better for surfaces like a hole in rainwater tank though , perhaps someone knows where you can get then now ?

That was the stuff I will have a look for some.

It is an odd join that should not have any stress placed on it ot just needs to hold together.

cheers and thanks :-))

I think your looking for self amalgamating tape. I first bought a roll at the RAC Shop to seal a leaking radiator hose. It worked really well and the hose didn't look like leaking after that. I have seen it on the Jaycar site for about $24 per roll.

I hope this helps.

I just got a reply from Tommy Tape and it is stocked by Bunnings mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Bunnings I will have an excuse to go to the shop of infinite pleasures ;-)

I had an erotic dream a while back

I dreamed that Bunnings had decided to put in many isles of fishing tackle.

I was so disappointed when I woke up :-(

Electrical supplies carry it.

Try Whitworths Marine. Their summer catalogue has Self Amalgamating Tape 5m black or white for $10.95. It's been around for years.

How would this tape go on me boat trailers Gal leaf springs ? after a clean and paint of course.

Do you think it would keep the water and the rust at bay?
