Blue Monster 70886

This tape is ridiculously expensive and worth it. So many times I purchase things that don't live up to the hype and expectations. This tape is "AS ADVERTISED". There is nothing worse than shutting off your water to make a repair and then discovering a nuisance leak upon finishing the job. What makes this so special is both the thickness and the quality. It is so much easier to use because it cooperates with you- doesn't slip or kink up and is not as affected by static electricity. The recommendation is to use multiple wraps, but from my experience anything past a full wrap is adequate unless you are dealing with really sloppy threads. My only word of warning is that the photo shows 3 rolls, and what you get is a single roll at this price. It's a big roll and is well worth it for the time you will save.

This stuff is awesome! I was using some cheap thread tape and had little leaks at a lot of the fittings. Switched to this and it fixed everything. Great stuff.

Slightly thicker then cheaper tape and it does not shred when you tear it. I love the large roll that makes it easier to use although the hole is not quite right for fitting my fingers. Overall it is superior to the cheap stuff. I like not having a stack of spares of shorter cheap rolls in my bucket. One or two spares of this lasts for a while. Great product.

I have been addressing several different water issues around my house for a while now. Installation of a Dishwasher, a separate garden water supply, my main house water supply, etc. Almost all of them had a minor leak in one of the joints. Let me be clear...I HATE plumbing!!! But I try to take care of it all myself. Too expensive to hire a pro.Anyway, my son in law (who is a Plumber) told me about this tape and I tried it. So far completely satisfied at how well it seals up a joint. It is thicker than traditional Teflon tape and it's easier to work with. No leaks on any of the joints I've used it on. Good stuff!

This didn't seem like a great deal for what amounts to a little tape, but I developed a leak in the PVC below the kitchen sink and figured I'd try it before calling the plumber (I temporarily taped over the joints with PVC tape, but they also began to leak after a day). The PVC is cheap and in my case, I was concerned because the threaded part is very short, so it seemed unlikely a little of this very thin tape would work. One of the threads is also on a curved section so that seemed like it could be a problem. I wrapped up 3 intersections, going over the threads a couple times, pressing it into the threads, and making sure not to leave any tape hanging over the outer edge, which can create turbulence and mess up your water flow. Well, it's been a couple weeks now and none of the taped threads have leaked once, they're bone dry. That's about all that needs to be said really, this stuff works incredibly well. just make sure you thoroughly cover every thread (I recommend at least 2 times, maybe more if it seems very loose when screwing the pipe together), keep the tape stretched straight when applying, press the tape into the threads so there's no bubbles, and make sure the end of the pipe is clean. EDIT: 2 years later and those connections are still holding, no leaks. Have also used it successfully in the garden for hoses and spigots.

For once all the rave reviews about a product was worth the hype, there really is a difference plus it blue !

Good stuff. That pretty much sums it up. What is also great is the rolls are huge and not only is it a good value dollar wise, the actual Teflon tape is a great weight/ thickness. Will take longer to run out but also has been nice to work with along the way. Compared to others I have tried from various industrial supply houses and the local box stores....this is a definite favorite.

Works really well and is a nice size. I will be buying this brand from now on. If you only need a little bit of tape and don't use it often, the cheap stuff you can get anywhere will work fine. If you are really concerned about what you are repairing/installing and need rock solid, leak seal, this is the stuff.
