J-B Weld FiberWeld 38248UK Pipe Repair Cast 2x48 Inch - High Strength Adhesive Fiberglass Wrap - White

Expired more than 1 years ago, can’t use .

Product that I received looks like stored or transported incorrectly because one of the components (cold weld) has been activated and doesn’t mix properly with hands. Overall this kit not work as I expected.

I had a small hole in the connector pipe between the inside pipe and the pipe to the hose spigot outside. I discovered it after receiving a 200 water bill. I bought this along with a couple of other things to repair the hole, since I didn't know how they would work. I decided to start with this item and guess what? I didn't need the other things I ordered! This stuff totally fixed my problem, and it wasn't complicated at all. The only mistake I made was I thought the black bandage included was the strip that you submerge to activate. It's not, you want the one in the silver bag. It's not labeled, it just has the cautions on it. Basically, I kneaded the putty and placed it over the hole. Then I activated the fiber tape, be careful, it is messy! I wrapped it around the epoxy putty and then covered it with the black bandage and left it to cure. The only problem I ran into is that you are supposed to leave the bandage on for a few minutes and then remove it. I must have left it to long because it fused to the fiber tape and I couldn't remove it. It cures in about an hour, but I waited 24 before turning on the water. I watered my yard and garden the next day and it held just fine. I saved my cheap landlord a healthy chunk of change on a plumber in about 10 minutes. If you have a small repair like I had, this stuff works wonders. Application was easy but messy due to the fiber tape, but they include gloves. The price point wasn't painful either. Definitely cheaper than a plumber!

I tried several other products to temporarily seal a leaking pipe near our radiator. This is so good it’s a permanent solution. Easy to use and sticks like you won’t believe. Fabulous product.

The 2 part paste wouldn't mix properly it was crusty

Did the job nicely, on a 5mm hole blown open in a copper pipe in an outhouse when I was away during freezing temperatures. You have to keep molding the putty onto and around the hole and pipe as it slowly hardens, as it doesn't seem to cling to the pipe for a while, but does so eventually as it hardens. The FiberWeld stuff on top of that is brilliant. I used it alone to repair a smaller leak in the same pipe a few years ago, and with the putty as well, this saved me a hundred quid or more to call out a plumber.
