STAR BRITE Liquid Electrical Tape - 4oz Can with Brush Applicator

We have a Miele vacuum cord that is damaged in several spots (electrical tape did not work to repair) and the cord on our Nespresso machine got melted through to the wires (no damage to the wires) this product repaired both cords to safe protection and function. Several thin coats are needed but well worth the purchase.

Fantastic stuff! Easy to use, quite pleased with the product.

I bought this because I had several cords, ranging from ipad charging cables to the cord for my electric razor to the cord on the vacuum cleaner, whose insulation had become brittle and was cracked and/or missing. While not visually restoring the insulation to a “like new” condition, it does do a great job repairing the insulation and, in my opinion, looks and works better than electrical tape, especially if additional build up would interfere with using something like a cord clip/hook on an appliance. While it dries or sets fairly quickly (you can safely apply additional coats, if needed, after ~5-10 minutes, the product is somewhat “gloppy” and it will run or drip before it dries sufficiently that it won’t. When completely dry, it does seem to be fairly flexible. Based on my experience, I would suggest the following: - Suspend the cord/cable horizontally and then watch for and remove any drips until it sets. If the repair is being made near the plug/connector, hanging the cord vertically could cause the product to pool excessively at the plug. - Put plastic or paper below the cord to protect the floor or work surface from any drips from the brush or the cord. - If using the brush attached to the lid, clean the product off the stem first so that you don’t have more product than you want running down the stem and onto the brush. - Be sure to clean any material off the threads of the can and the can lid before closing the can. - Instead of using the brush attached to the lid, consider using a separate brush, like a small acid brush, and wiping any excess on that brush off on an old soup can instead of the threaded edge of the product’s can. Overall, this product worked great for my applications and exceeded my expectations.

This stuff works pretty good, but it is tear off-able after it dries. It is mostly useful to aid in waterproofing when using other insulation like shrink tubing or when you cannot use shrink tubing. You can use if over improvised shrink tubing that is actually wrap from those rip off plastic labels like kefir has, or with electrical tape to seal things up more waterproof and prevent edges from lifting. It does dry up, well before you finish using it, but I had a quart of Crown Pro Thinner (this stuff will melt plastics) around for Barge cement and I poured some into the can and the next time I used it, the stuff was back to perfect consistancy. It will last if you seal the lid with teflon tape and put it in a plastic bag and have appropriate thinner.
