Sylglas™ Waterproofing Tape
A self-adhesive waterproofing tape suitable for a wide range of uses around the home and garden.
Product Information
Sylglas Original Waterproofing Tape is a multi-use, cold applied tape which remains flexible over a wide temperature range. This easy-to-apply, self-adhesive tape is extremely conformable and can be laid in strips (e.g. to line gutters) or wrapped spirally (e.g. around standpipes to protect against corrosion, as a glazing bar tape, to waterproof rainwater down pipes or as a gutter repair tape) to provide an effective sealing, waterproofing and rustproofing barrier.

Instructions for use
1. Surface Preparation
Wear safety gloves. Ensure surface to be protected is clean, dry and free from grease and dirt.
2. Measure & Cut
Unroll the tape, measure to the length required and cut it from the roll.
3. Tape Positioning
Position the tape piece and press into place. Smooth down firmly as you proceed to expel all air pockets and mould to shape.
4. Applying In Strips
a. Choose a tape wide enough to overlap each side of the repair by at least 15mm or lay several strips together. Ensure that overlaps allow water to flow over rather than into the joins.
b. Where an uninterrupted run of tape cannot be achieved due to a change in elevation, care must be taken to make a tight seal where the change in level (or overlap) occurs.
c. Make a small fold in the tape, tuck the fold into the angle, and smooth down the top surface to remove any air bubbles.
d. To complete the seal, fold the tape over the end of the overlap.
5. Applying Spirally
Keeping a firm tension, wind evenly, overlapping the tape by half its width. This technique is ideal for the waterproofing of insulation or pipe lagging and preventing rust on metal pipes above ground.
