New J-B Weld FiberWeld Pipe Repair Cast 1" Kit 2.5Cm X 121Cm, Packaging May Vary

Put around my bath U-bend -- now hard as iron.

The media could not be loaded. Original: This product was unusable. On removing it from its packaging. It had already cured and was rock hard. I cannot give it any more than a single star, but this is not a true assessment of the product, as it was clearly faulty.Replacement: Worked well, sealing the pressure leak as required. Note, that this product is very messy, just be prepared!

Great little product for a secure pipe repair. It is gooey so do wear gloves but simple to wet and then solidify.

Temporary repair on my transit custom high pressure power steering pipe, worked a treat!

Used to fix power steering pipe, 5 minute job, warmed up treacly coated bandage, wrapped round flexy pipe while still on car, clamped 22 mm metal pipe fixer on top, 20 minutes ready to go, life saver.

Good

Worked but not as good as previous wraps for leaks , was very difficult to wrap around pipe

But these kits are actually awesome and totally effective on copper pipes. It’s a bit messy and awkward the first one, so far I’ve done three and they got easier as I went. The black “sock” that fits over the top you are apparently supposed to remove as the product dries…don’t bother, just leave it on there. If you wait a few seconds too long you won’t have a choice anyway, this is extremely strong fast drying resin stuff, that literally does harden to strong molded fiberglass, practically porcelain or something. Essentially a five step process, first shut off water mains and drain out the pipes completely, next there’s thick two tone putty, that you press and fold between your finger to mix to one grey color (gloves included for this are required it’s sticky stuff). You then apply this putty over the leak, wrapping around the area. Next there’s the goopy mess part: a roll of moist fiber tape is soaked briefly in water. You then unroll this and wrap it as tightly as possible around the putty area, good idea to go at least a couple inches on either side of this. Gloves are essential, I got a little on my land and it took about three days to get it all off. This is really goopy mess work, but once you get it, it’s sort of goof proof to get a good thick layer where you want it. Last there is a roll of sticky black sock like material you wrap over the top to secure it all in place. I’ve noticed the sticky fiber tape is bubbling a bit as you apply this. Let dry for about an hour before turning water back on. Done. This combination hardens to extremely strong hard tough sealant material. I’ve now done three leaks, all totally successful and have been totally dry for over a month. I’d believe these will last for years, possibly many years. Great stuff for the cheap relatively easy fix!

So, we had a pipe leak and the plumbers came out twice and couldn't find it. That was getting expensive, so we went out and looked for it ourselves.We found it in a completely different place from where the "professionals" were looking. So much for paying for Experience .Anyway, While sourcing new competent plumbers, we dug out the pipe and found the crack.The First time I used the Fiberweld, I followed the instructions on the package. It seemed to work like it stated, but it was hard to get it to stick to the pipe even though I cleaned the pipe with towels and even alcohol to remove any residue. After two tries I got a patch that seemed to Hold enough so we could have water on while waiting for our appointment. Of course, another pipe busted right next to it so I had to use it some more. I saw videos of people mashing and blending the two compounds in a bowl of water.Now I tried using vinyl gloves but the stuff stuck to the gloves so much I couldn't handle it well enough, so I used my bare hands. doing it in the water, I noticed it came together easier, faster, smoother, and it took away some of the chemical heat of the two materials curing as I mixed them, so it was much less uncomfortable to handle.Being more pliable and soft made it easier to mash and mold around the crack than the first time. YOu really have to mash in and taper the clay to the pipe and smooth it down, because if there is any channel of air underneath, the force of the water will find its way through and force it off. You have to mash it into the crack, pack it in, pack it hard, and mash it down, and smooth it out in all directions. One of my patches ended up coming off but that's because it was the first time using this, and the crack was in a really unfortunate position where I could not get to it and do all of the above. now that I know what to do, I think I could confidently use this product anywhere I can get to a leak and it will work as well as my last patch.A few days later, the Good plumbers came, replaced the broken section and we are all good now. Several hundred dollars poorer, but we have no more leaks. Now , to fight the water company for an adjustment...

My first use of this material. Didn't have much room to properly wrap the spicket. Still have a small leak. Would work if properly applied. Do recommend.

While using a sawz-all in my wife’s flower garden to remove a large root, I managed to cut a one inch sprinkler PVC pipe completely in half. Good job, Dave. This stuff repaired the damage.I dug out about an inch on either side of the cut and an inch below it. I lined the hole with aluminum foil so as to not get dirt on the wrapping.The wrapping is WAY sticky. Wear the gloves they provide.They provide an elastic wrap to hold the wrapping in place to cure. They say to remove it. It was bonded to the wrap so I left it in place.This stuff is a lifesaver if you have a sprinkler system and you get the inevitable leak.
