Buying Guide: Silicone Repair Tape

Colors and Sizes
Most Rescue Tape rolls measure 12 ft long by 1 in wide and come in black, blue, clear, green, orange, red, white and yellow. The self-sealing option is sold in a pack of 36 rolls, each 1 in wide by 5 ft long. Pick the color that suits your project.

Common Uses
Rescue Tape is used for repairing leaks on plumbing and hoses, and the black roll is ideal for larger diameter pipes and hoses. It can also be wrapped on electrical wiring for insulation. Stretch the tape as you wrap so each layer bonds to the one beneath it.

Before You Order
Measure the pipe, hose or wire you plan to wrap before choosing a width and length. Match the size on your old part where one applies, and check your equipment manual. Have a qualified technician handle brake, fuel, gas, electrical or pressure-system repairs.
