Update- Great Supplier Support

Permatex provided replacement kits after I had an issue with a bad batch of repair tape in the kit I purchased. I was not optimistic when I filled out the complaint form on their web site , since it would not accept a Canadian address. But I’m delighted to say that today I have received the replacement kit from them. Thank you Permatex for standing behind your product. I would like to take down the negative review, but cannot find a button to do that .

Yes, I recommend this product.

“Heavy Duty Tape” was brittle and could not be used

2 years ago
The epoxy and metal went in fine as described, but the next day, when I tried to apply the tape, it had hardened in its folded shape in the package. I tried to soft by warming it over a vent, but it split at each fold as I tried to wrap it. There seems to be some aging issue (shelf life) with this product. I will contact Manufacturer to see if they can provide a replacement bandage

No, I do not recommend this product.

Q: Is this a tape repair system or a patching compound?

11 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Like many things, the answer most likely is “it all depends”. If the muffler or pipe system is in relatively sturdy condition, and the hole, crack or corroded area is in a concentrated stop, then YES, this repair product can definitely last for the remaining life of the muffler. But of course it also depends on the quality of the repair job itself. If the damaged area is in such a location that the person cannot properly access it, or that the damage is in a joint that comes under stress, this product may provide only a temporary solution.
