Application
1. Wrap RESCUE 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 RESCUE TAPE is wrapped, the quicker and stronger the bond.
2. Continue wrapping RESCUE 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. RESCUE 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 RESCUE TAPE can only be done in the first few seconds after wrapping. Attempting to reposition RESCUE TAPE after 1 minute or longer is not recommended. RESCUE
TAPE is not reusable.
5. Additional RESCUE TAPE can be applied over project at any time in the future.
6. RESCUE 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 RESCUE 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. RESCUE 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!
