Directions: NOTE: For leaks, use several layers of stretched tape. For electrical repairs, always disconnect the power before starting the repair. 1. Remove any excell direct, or, etc. from repair area and clean hands with Permatex Fast Orange hand cleaners or soap and water before starting the repair. 2. remove permatex Self-fusing Silicone Tape from the package and peel 1-2″ of liner from the tape. 3. Press the exposed tape firmly to the surface to be repaired, making sure to completely overlaop the first wrap over itself while at the same time stretching the tape. 3. While stretching the tape as it is wrapped, overlap each layer approximately 2/3 of the previious wrap, peeling off the liner as you wrap. The tape fuses on both sides as it is wrapped and it will start bonding together almost immediately. the more the tape is stretched, the faster it fuses together and the stronger the grip. Permatex Self-fusing Silicone Tape stretches up to 3x its original length. 4. Finish by completely overlapping the last wrap and press the tape firmly. DO NOT TRY TO REPOSITION OR REUSE THE TAPE. At room temperature, the repaired area is in most cases sealed immediately and the tape fully cures in 24 hours. 5. Check the repair area periodically to ensure that the leak has stopped. If a leak is detected, remove the tape and start over at step 1.
