J-B Weld FiberWeld 2” Pipe Repair Cast 2x60 Inch - High Strength Adhesive Fiberglass Wrap - White (38260)

You must pay attention to the videos that demonstrate the application... However, they are all poorly done.. often leaving out important parts (It's all in the details) .. The 2-part epoxy must be thoroughly kneaded .. the next step is to add water to the rolled up tape in the sealed bag... it's sealed because it contains quite a bit of slimy yellowish goop (quite runny) which permeates the roll of tape. you agg the water for only a few seconds just to trigger the goo to harden. You have plenty if time to wrap the tape around the pipe/leak as shown.. but because of the slimy goo, the tape can slip... it takes some talent to hold the ta[pe in place as you wrap always smoothing out the wrinkles and bubbles... the tape can easily loosen, unless you are careful at tightening each wrap .. THE TAPE IS NOT STICKY yet... that's why you have to unwind the small black flexible tape (same used for bandages, but black) this tape is sticky, and stretches.. it will secure and compress the yellowish gooey tape that you first wrapped over the epoxy and pipe. Interestingly, that black tape is supposed to be removed after 5 minutes... WHY? nothing is said about that. perhaps, it's because it will help the goo solidify, now that's it's been exposed to water and air? I left it on because I wasn't convinced that the goo had hardened, and didn't want to disturb the the tape it was holding... DUH! There are many variables here... temperature will effect the cure time. Letting the black compression tape stay attached, is like keeping a wood clamp attached.... you just don't want to remove it 'till the goop is hard. Obviously, if you try and remove after the goop is hard.. you might harm the seal.. The product is fine, the instructions are very poor, a lot can go wrong when you don't get important details ... oh, the videos are helpful, but like most YouTube videos, limited

This worked on cooper piping for the water line. I installed a water recirculation pump and it worked fine; however, it took a lot of cooper fittings and nipples to install it. Some of the copper fittings and nipples were not perfect, so after a few months one joint started leaking. Instead of redoing the entire pump installation, I was able to stop the leak using this epoxy - it worked great and appears to be a permanent fix. It was in a difficult area to access, too, but it took less than an hour to make the repair and another hour before re-pressurizing the pipes.

This works like a champ! My sprinkler pipe underground, apparently had been hit by the stick edger and put 15 holes in it. Only 3 in from my house and I had to dig way underneath it to wrap this around the pipe. But it worked, it hasn't leaked that should be honest with you it took me a week to be brave enough to turn the sprinklers on, cuz I just wasn't sure it would actually fix it. It did.. I used two packages and I would highly recommend this product! 👍🏼👍🏼

Bought this for repairing broken pipes and sealing leaks. What I like • The cast is easy to apply and molds well to the pipe, providing a strong seal. • Quick-drying and durable, ensuring long-lasting repairs. • Works on various pipe materials, making it versatile for different plumbing issues. What could be better • The application can be a bit messy if not used carefully. • It might not be suitable for very large or high-pressure pipes. • The instructions could be clearer for first-time users. Bottom line: A practical and effective solution for pipe repairs, but may not work for all types of pipes. Perfect for DIY repairs and temporary fixes, but consider professional solutions for high-pressure or larger pipes.

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!

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!

When using this adhesive if your pipe is not in an open and free area this item can be very difficult and messy to use. The pipe I wanted to repair was too close to the wall and I could not rap the adhesive around the pipe and the mess it created was terrible. The cleanup took most of the time and nothing was accomplished. The product will work but in an open space free from walls and other obstacle.

This is a complete FAIL! I prepped the pipe to allow the epoxy putty to get a clean and good grip. I mixed the putty completely. I feathered the edges slightly to provide a good and wide edge overlap with the good pipe. Then I mixed the water into the pouch using the JB Weld Youtube video as a guide. Then I applied the tape. The tape almost immediately started to move on it's own. This is the purpose for the black wrap has to be to keep the white tape in place. Well I did that too. I did not turn the water on in an hour as they claim this is the needed time. I waited until the next day. Yes, the pipe is leaking still. And now this humongous mess in stuck on the pipe. The section of pipe will have to be cut out and replaced. What a STUPID waste of time, money and effort. I did try their marine epoxy before this and guess what? It never really got hard. You can scrape it off with a screwdriver blade. No more JB Weld anything ever again!

Excelente.

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.
