Is it that stuff that doesn't stick to anything but itself, but when it's wrapped around something it's impenatrable? Saw some of it demo'd in the ELEX Exeter show - guy wrapped it round a pressurised leaking pipe and it sealed it up proper. Gonna get hold of some of it, it looks proper.

i got it for £40 for 10mtrs the 10mtrs seemed to go quiet far the doggs bollox as cutting the cable and jointing it twice and putting a bit in(not to mention the possible problems later on ) just due to a big scrape on the nissulation £40 doesnt sem so bad

Was glad to have it in the van when i put a screw through a heating pipe at home when trying to get rid of a squeaky floorboard. Brilliant stuff.

i managed to put a nail through the main gas pipe on the landing one friday night. the missus had been nagging for months for it. so up i went carpet up and nail through an old hole they had neglected to place the nail back in. woosh and a bad smell of gas later. clean underwear needed. b gas said they would charge for fixing it, oh well needs doing. the gas guy went mad when he came out , said the only person that would be paying would be the corgi guy that fitted it, he took his details in hand with him and said i should not feel a plonker (still did) moral being just because there is a hole don`t fill it you never know what you may get
