Application
1. Wrap RAPTILE TAPE around project by stretching and overlapping
onto itself. Stretch to at least double its original length to
ensure a good bond. For high pressure leaks, stretch to the
maximum. The tighter RAPTILE TAPE is wrapped, the quicker and
stronger the bond.
2. Continue wrapping RAPTILE TAPE around project by overlapping
so that half 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.
RAPTILE TAPE works on either side.
3. Most hose repairs can be repaired with 3-5 layers in thickness,
and wrapping 3 to 5 inches in each direction away from the
leak.
4. Repositioning RAPTILE TAPE can only be done in the first few
seconds after wrapping. Attempting to reposition RAPTILE TAPE
after 1 minute or longer is not recommended. RAPTILE TAPE is
not reusable.
5. Additional RAPTILE TAPE can be applied over project at any time
in the future6. RAPTILE 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 RAPTILE 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. RAPTILE 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!

Limitations
RAPTILE TAPE is not designed to be a permanent repair and there
are no guarantees as to how long the repair will last.

Roll Size
Approx. 2.5cm wide x 3m x 0.5mm roll length.

Storage Conditions
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, RAPTILE
TAPE should last for many years. Our customers have reported that
our self-fusing silicone kept for decades will still work extremely
well!
