Stick Together
Rescue Tape ($9.95) is not your typical adhesive tape but rather a self-fusing silicone wrap that can be used in a variety of applications, from repairing split hoses or pipes to waterproofing electrical connections. Since the product does not use adhesive but instead bonds to itself, it can be used on wet, dirty or oily surfaces — so long as the surface of the tape remains clean — to create an airtight and watertight seal in seconds. Rescue Tape has a 950 psi tensile strength, a continuous operating temperature ranging from minus 76 degrees F to 392 degrees F and a long shelf life, so be sure to grab a couple rolls and throw them in your tool kit for emergencies.
