Method of Application

1) General Application

Apply the tape on the surface of application and stretch it to approximately 150%.
Overwrap 100% for first layer.
Apply the tape in spiral winding form with 50% overlap except at the end.

At ends have 100% overlap so that the tapes fuse with each other. The last end of the tape (approx
10 mm) should stretched very little and should have 100% overlap over silicon rubber tape’s last
spiral lap.
Once applied, the tape will take max 24 hrs to fuse with itself.

2) Pipe Repair Application

 S-Hold Tape can be applied over any surface or pipe material, and even over a wet, dirty, greasy or
oily pipe.
 S-Hold Tape can be applied UNDER WATER for submerged pipe repairs.
 S-Hold Tape is heat resistant to 500F Degrees (260C); repairs can be made while pipe is hot.
 S-Hold Tape fuses in minutes or even SECONDS, enabling you to repair pipes FAST and minimize
downtime.
 S-Hold Tape can be easily removed by cutting, further minimizing downtime when a permanent pipe
repair is being made.
 S-Hold Tape can be your quick “first response” pipe repair solution while alternative permanent
repairs can be planned.

Instructions for a proper pipe repair utilizing S-Hold Tape:

1.) Wrap S-Hold Tape pipe repair tape around leaking pipe by stretching and overlapping onto
itself. Stretch at least double to ensure a good bond; for high pressure leaks stretch to
maximum amount. The tighter S-Hold Tape is wrapped, the quicker and stronger the bond.
2.) Continue wrapping S-Hold Tape around pipe by overlapping 50% onto itself so that ½ the
width is covered with the next wrap. The first and last wrap should completely (100%)
overlap onto the previous wrap for a complete bond. Additional layers may be necessary to
repair the leak, and the same process should be used over the previous layers. S-Hold Tape
works on either side. The more S-Hold Tape that is wrapped around the pipe, the stronger
the pipe repair.
3.) Repositioning S-Hold Tape is only appropriate in the first few seconds after wrapping.
Attempting to reposition S-Hold Tape after 1 minute or longer is not recommended. S-Hold
Tape is not reusable; however, additional S-Hold Tape can be applied over project at any
time in the future.

2.) Additional Suggestions:

To repair pipes with higher pressure leaks, additional wrapping may be required. Most pipe
repairs can be repaired successfully with 3-5 layers in thickness, and wrapping 3 to 5 inches

in each direction away from the leak; however, additional strength can be added simply by
wrapping more S-Hold Tape. In addition, the larger the pipe diameter, the more repair tape
will be required. Wrap S-Hold Tape further in each direction from the leak on larger
diameter pipes and hoses.

S-Hold Tape Pipe Repair has essentially a “maximum” stretch. It is important to stretch S-Hold Tape to its
maximum to avoid having the leak create a bubble.
