Total failure to adhere to PVC pipe
Very disappointed in this product. I needed to repair a 1/2" lengthwise hairline crack in 1" diam. PVC pipe (cold water) for irrigation, that was hard to reach, several inches in a hole in the ground. Normal ways to replace it with a section of new pipe were impossible. I purged water from the pipe, sanded its entire surface 2" either side of the crack, dried off all water, then wrapped tightly with 4-5 layers 2" wide FiberWeld tape that had been moistened by submersion. Applied the stretchy cloth wrap, and allowed to cure overnight. Temperature was above 60 deg. first few hours of cure, then went as low as 35 deg. during night. Pipe remained dry and without pressure for entire cure time.
Following morning, removed the sticky cloth wrap, turned on the irrigation valve putting water thru pipe to sprinklers. Supply to valve is ~40 psi, but with sprinkler outlets, the pressure at the repaired site never would get close to this. Even so, drops of water immediately flowed from both ends of the repair. Removal of repair from the pipe was not particularly easy -- I used a serrated SS blade to make a slice the length of the repair. The tape had bonded very strongly to itself, forming a solid sheath around the pipe but there was absolutely no adhesion of the epoxy to the PVC. With a slice cut away lengthwise, it could be pulled off easily in one piece.
Product is alleged to adhere to PVC, but this completely failed in the situation described. To be fair, it may work spectacularly well on materials it would adhere to. It would be advisable to test a portion of the tape on your prospective substrate before committing the entire expensive roll to a repair and then having to remove it (not easy). Saving for later use may be possible if you have a way to re-seal the unused bulk of the roll, away from water until you want to use it, in an evacuated container (bag/jar) using a food-storage vacuum or other device for this purpose. Otherwise moisture in the air will likely activate the epoxy and leave you with a useless hardened roll.
