DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Note: For leaks, use several layers of stretched tape. For
electrical repairs, always disconnect the power before
starting the repair.
1. Remove any excess dirt, oil, etc. from repair area and
clean hands with Permatex Fast Orange hand
cleaners or soap and water before starting the repair.
2. Remove Permatex Self-fusing Silicone Tape from the
package and peel 1-2 inches of liner from the tape.
3. Press the exposed tape firmly to the surface to be
repaired, making sure to completely overlap the first
wrap over itself while at the same time stretching the
tape.

3. While stretching the tape as it is wrapped, overlap each
layer approximately 2/3 of the previous wrap, peeling
off the liner as you wrap. The tape fuses on both sides
as it is wrapped and it will start bonding together almost
immediately. The more the tape is stretched, the faster
it fuses together and the stronger the grip. Permatex
Self-fusing Silicone Tape stretches up to 3 times its
original length.

4. Finish by completely overlapping the last wrap and
press the tape firmly. Do not try to reposition or
reuse the tape. At room temperature, the repaired
area is in most cases sealed immediately and the tape
fully cures in 24 hours.
5. Check the repair area periodically to ensure that the
leak has stopped. If a leak is detected, remove the
tape (see below) and start over at Step 1.

For Tape Removal and Cleanup
1. Remove Self-fusing Silicone tape with a safety razor by
carefully cutting across the width of the tape. The tape
leaves no sticky residue.
2. Clean hands with Permatex Fast Orange hand
cleaners or soap and water.
