Rescue Tape?

Chromaflage · 02-13-2008, 10:16 AM

At the sportsman's show, I stopped at the Rescue Tape booth for the first time ever. According to the highly energetic sales guy, the stuff works miracles. It will patch hoses, you can make O-Rings, and even make a temporary fan belt. The show price was $25 for 3 rolls. I may have been more tempted to purchase some had the guy not been so in my face. Has anyone bought and/or used this stuff. If it works as claimed, I'm thinking it might be a nice addition to my off shore McGiver box.

Sunday it was only 20.00 for three rolls. My uncle bought some.

It is good stuff. I use it to seal up coax connectors on the boats I visit. It is basically self vulcanizing silicon tape. They have it at Home Depot in the plimbing section - its white and not near as thick but it works

Chrome if you want some I will order it for you at 20.00 per three rolls. Like I said the my uncle bought some and the guy said he will sell it for the same price plus shipping. I was thinking about getting some also. The claims he made for the stuff are impressive, at least to me. Or if you find his web site just tell him you paid 20.00 for three rolls at the show?

thanks!! I'll check the web site and if I run into a problem, I may take you up on your offer.

I bought some at the Sportsman's show about 4 years ago for emergencies. "Knock on wood", I never had to use it, but glad I got it.

Kerry you better pick up some of that new putty they are advertising on TV that sticks to anything, plugs anything and doubles as chewing gum if you add citric acid to it.

Man, you are all over me today - what'd I do, Bernie! Keep it up and I won't be sending you the Rocket Fishing Rod and Banjo Lure Kit I got for ya.

I used it to repair a power steering hose at the pressed fitting a couple weeks ago right after I bought it at the San Mateo Sportsmens show. It was a lifesaver in the middle of the night at the side of the freeway. It lasted for better than two weeks before I got around to getting my rig (F-250 crew P-stroke) in the shop. I bought three rolls for each of my boats at the next show.

rescue tape vs duct tape.....whats the difference? I have used the basic grey duct tape for years as a "fix all". Even patched a canoe with it.

What does this "Rescue tape" have that duct tape doesnt? Curious as never heard of this rescue tape before.

Thanks Kerry, would you go ahead and ship those to me? Hate to admit this but I already have a Banjo Minow Kit so could you send something else in its place.

I'll leave ya alone now brother. You seem a little tense.

Chromaflage · 02-14-2008, 07:38 AM

Three rolls in a year...
Care to list a few more things you have used "Rescue Tape" on?

Sounds like handy stuff to have around.
