FiberWeld Pipe Repair Cast 2x48 Inch – High Strength Adhesive Fiberglass Wrap – White

whoa - really worked.Instructions are terrible and I doubt I followed them but it didn't matter. I put on the gloves, took out the gooey wrap, unwrapped it, dunked it in warm water and wrapped my pipe. Due to the awkward location, no way I could get 5 wraps around, and it didn't matter. Worked anyway. Formed a great seal and held (at least under low pressure).note: my pipe is outdoors and usually kept off, i.e. low stakes if it leaks again; it's outdoor hot water pipe, so if it leaks I'll know from the steam!

Bought this for repairing broken pipes and sealing leaks.What I like • The cast is easy to apply and molds well to the pipe, providing a strong seal. • Quick-drying and durable, ensuring long-lasting repairs. • Works on various pipe materials, making it versatile for different plumbing issues.What could be better • The application can be a bit messy if not used carefully. • It might not be suitable for very large or high-pressure pipes. • The instructions could be clearer for first-time users.Bottom line: A practical and effective solution for pipe repairs, but may not work for all types of pipes. Perfect for DIY repairs and temporary fixes, but consider professional solutions for high-pressure or larger pipes.

But these kits are actually awesome and totally effective on copper pipes. It’s a bit messy and awkward the first one, so far I’ve done three and they got easier as I went. The black “sock” that fits over the top you are apparently supposed to remove as the product dries…don’t bother, just leave it on there. If you wait a few seconds too long you won’t have a choice anyway, this is extremely strong fast drying resin stuff, that literally does harden to strong molded fiberglass, practically porcelain or something. Essentially a five step process, first shut off water mains and drain out the pipes completely, next there’s thick two tone putty, that you press and fold between your finger to mix to one grey color (gloves included for this are required it’s sticky stuff). You then apply this putty over the leak, wrapping around the area. Next there’s the goopy mess part: a roll of moist fiber tape is soaked briefly in water. You then unroll this and wrap it as tightly as possible around the putty area, good idea to go at least a couple inches on either side of this. Gloves are essential, I got a little on my land and it took about three days to get it all off. This is really goopy mess work, but once you get it, it’s sort of goof proof to get a good thick layer where you want it. Last there is a roll of sticky black sock like material you wrap over the top to secure it all in place. I’ve noticed the sticky fiber tape is bubbling a bit as you apply this. Let dry for about an hour before turning water back on. Done. This combination hardens to extremely strong hard tough sealant material. I’ve now done three leaks, all totally successful and have been totally dry for over a month. I’d believe these will last for years, possibly many years. Great stuff for the cheap relatively easy fix!

Worked great, stopped my leak!

This is a complete FAIL! I prepped the pipe to allow the epoxy putty to get a clean and good grip. I mixed the putty completely. I feathered the edges slightly to provide a good and wide edge overlap with the good pipe. Then I mixed the water into the pouch using the JB Weld Youtube video as a guide. Then I applied the tape. The tape almost immediately started to move on it's own. This is the purpose for the black wrap has to be to keep the white tape in place. Well I did that too. I did not turn the water on in an hour as they claim this is the needed time. I waited until the next day. Yes, the pipe is leaking still. And now this humongous mess in stuck on the pipe. The section of pipe will have to be cut out and replaced. What a STUPID waste of time, money and effort. I did try their marine epoxy before this and guess what? It never really got hard. You can scrape it off with a screwdriver blade. No more JB Weld anything ever again!

I used this for the first time, after using the powerwrap brand for 30 years, and must say it didnt perform like the original. It took much longer to adhere, harden, and dry. The original gets hot, sets up quickly, and sheds water, dries in 20 minutes. This time, it took 30 minutes to set. It wanted to keep unraveling. Then it took an hour to harden. And no heat to signal that it was working. Then it leaked ever so slightly, requiring a 2nd application. The powerwrap, all I ever had to do, instead of dunking it in water, was to wrap a layer, spray it with a spray bottle, then wrap it completely, and spray with water. It gets hot, and solidofies in 10 minutes to a very nice seal. Idk if i got a bad apple, but it just didnt work like the original.

Worked great for repairing a hot tub leak.
