If you're looking for a tape to seal a small hair line crack or leaks around the thread, this post probably isn't what you're looking for.
If you're looking for a more robust pipe repair tape capable of handling higher pressures and providing a permanent fix, read on.
In this post, we introduce our Weicon Pipe Repair Kits. These kits contain two parts; a steel-filled epoxy putty to fill holes and spread over the leaking area and a impregnated tape that goes on like an overwrap bandage before setting hard. Together, they provide a permanent, high pressure resistant solution for fixing all kinds of metal and plastic pipes.
The section below provide more information on how to use these products to fix a pipe. We also cover a few of their main specifications.
What's In A Pipe Repair Kit.
