At first I thought that one of the two sides will be slightly sticky and was then disappointed when I had the tape for the first time in his hand. But I did not have to be, according to the first wrapping it did actually already own. But the tape is to be applied in an overlapping, so I have done a few wraps. The end I simply cut off and waited for the repair tape unwinds again. And nothing happened.
Currently the band holds very firmly on the tube and I have to mention that I have not cleaned the pipe. The water is now running out again down and no longer out of the tube.
For the Self agglomerating and tightly holding repair tape of scotch I would therefore give 5 stars. The price I can not evaluate well the absence of comparison. But the band is really very far stretch, so from the purchased 3 meters are more effective.
