XFasten Self Fusing Silicone Tape Waterproof – 1" x 36 Feet Black, Self Amalgamating Tape, Silicone Rubber for Plumbing, Sealing Pipes, Hose Repair, Outdoor Coax and Electrical Cables – Weatherproof

I bought this self fusing silicone tape to add grip to the bars on my StepManiaX arcade machine. It's a full body rhythm game and at higher levels of play, holding onto the metal bar behind you becomes a useful and recommended technique intended to allow a player to stabilize their upper body and shift weight away from their legs and feet so they can move faster, with less strain on muscles. The reason I chose to purchase and use this tape is because the StepManiaX bars are smooth and slippery. I prefer to have a good grip when I hold onto them. This silicone tape provides very good grip without being tacky or rough. I was using anti-slip workout gloves prior to this but they made my hands hot and the silicone pattern on the gloves started to fall off and make a mess. One 36ft roll of this tape was the perfect amount to cover both bars with just a tiny bit leftover. I plan on purchasing a second roll to make a second layer but this isn't necessary, one layer is perfectly fine! I highly recommend that you don't make the initial mistake I made of stretching the tape too much while wrapping. I originally stretched the tape too tautly and after about 15 wraps around the bar, the tape abruptly split down the side of my wraps! Seems there was too much tension created due to the tautly wrapped tape. When I attempted to start wrapping again, I made sure to stretch the tape with about half the force I was using originally. Best way I an describe how much force to use is that you don't want to stretch the tape to the point of the tape's width becoming overly thin. Just provide a gentle stretch during your wrapping and it will be plenty! I love that the tape comes in a round plastic container with a screw lid for storage, very useful. This silicone tape takes 3-4 hours to fully fuse to itself and I have noticed that it truly doesn't leave any sort of residue whatsoever on the polished metal bars I wrapped. I highly recommend this tape, especially if you're a rhythm game player who wants to add amazing grip to the bars on your dance game!

I used this to fix a dripping connection on my hot tub. No more drip!!! It was easy to use and there was ample tape to do a few repairs. The most annoying thing about it was the plastic separator sheet kept getting in my way as I was applying the tape. It is high quality and good value. I think its good to stretch the tape as you are wrapping an applying. It sticks to itself really well.

Really works well. This is again another brand that is a bit thinner than the original. However, thsi works well for us in most applications we need on board. Also, the clear sleeve is super- keeps them organized and protected somewhat from spray. This is a product we use constantly and is on equipment we use everyday. So, we know immediately if a product is weak/under performing or fails. definitely recommend this product, esp with the sleeve kit.

I love this stuff. It's not to stickly like packing tape is but sticky enough, I used it for something that has 450 degree F possible and so far no problem. I would buy this again.

I had never used tape like this before and it's pretty cool for specific tasks. I used it to wrap a damaged rubber wire conduit to my outboard and it has been perfect for that. I had tried electrical tape and duct tape previously but the elements just made those tapes flap around. This weird stretchy silicone tape sort of holds itself together and has worked well. It's not "sticky" really other than sticking to itself but it's great at that. I'm sure I'll find many other uses for this tape.

The XFasten self‑fusing silicone tape works exactly the way you want a repair tape to work. It bonds to itself instantly, creates a tight waterproof seal, and holds up well under pressure. I used it for hose and pipe fixes, and it stayed secure even outdoors in heat and moisture. The 1" width gives good coverage, and the 36‑foot roll lasts a long time. It’s great for plumbing leaks, electrical cable protection, and emergency repairs. The yellow color is bright and easy to spot, which is helpful when you need to see what you’ve wrapped. I’m giving it four stars only because it takes a bit of practice to stretch and wrap it just right, but once you get the hang of it, it’s extremely effective. A dependable, weatherproof tape that’s great to keep on hand for quick fixes.

I would not trust this for long term usage. It works in a pinch and easy to apply. It must remain clean for it to properly adhere to itself. Over time some areas may split. I don't recommend stretching it to its extreme unlike other thicker tapes. Great for temporary fixes. 36 feet is plenty of tape. Made in China.

Love it. It has worked every time for me in tough situations, and I love that there is no adhesive to create residue, especially on wood surfaces. Though in my case, it is for the very niche use on bagpipe air-tightness and fitment (below 3psi).

j'en suis totalement satisfait

Very easy to use and really works

Great product. Works perfect. Nice that it is a bit wider than most tapes of this kind.

Great self-fusing silicone tape for so many uses both indoors and outdoors, including sports grips, sealing joints on eavestrough downspouts or sectioned metal broom handles, adding a slightly grippy or protective wrap to tool handles of all sorts (incl hairdryer), and a quick semi-permanent fix for a leaking plumbing pipe or even a cracked vacuum cleaner hose, for instance. I like that it withstands hot and cold temperatures and that it can be removed without leaving a glue residue. If your looking for standard electrical tape or a sticky type of tape, this is not it. It's also not for use on fabric type textiles or anything with loose, flaky, dusty debris. This fusion tape was a decent price for the quantity. It works as intended when used and stored correctly. I like that the roll comes in a see-through storage box. Bought 2 different colours -- Yellow and black. Should last me quite some time.
