Quick-Stop Patch For Leaks & Other Tough Repairs
Tech-Bond Solutions sells a polymer patch that works on pvc, galvanized, and copper pipes, and any kind of water tank except for stainless. Designed to quickly seal up cracks or holes, the patent-pending patch is made with flourosilicone and creates a chemical reaction with heat once applied, to create a permanent bond that’s impervious to gas, water, oil, weather, dirt, grease and salt.
Patches come in standard, XT for up to 120 psi and MX patches with copper foil for over 120 psi.
The company reports a permanent Tech-Patch costs about 20 percent of installing replacement pipe. They offer a money-back guarantee for the life of the patch. Their kits have a 2-year shelf life.
Tech-Patches will seal holes up to 3-in. dia. and cracks up to 5-in. long and 1-in. wide.
“This product really works. My Tahoe had a big crack on the side of the dash and nothing could hold it together. I tried Tech-Bond and presto, it was strong as new. I also tried it on some clay tiles I had broken and I got the same results. It’s a very strong bond. It works just like they say and the price is fair,” says Tech-Patch user Barry Finkle on the Tech-Bond website.
Kits are available online starting at $15 and go up to $160 based on the kit and patches ordered from the company website. We also found these on Amazon at $27 for a standard 3 in. by 6 in. or $43 for a 6 by 6-in. patch. The company notes a basic poly kit is also required ($32 on Amazon) which includes surface prep, activator, and adhesive. Heat from a hairdryer or heat gun is required to finish the sealing process. Shipping costs are additional. The single patches and poly kits listed on Amazon had limited but good reviews.
A few patches and a kit may be worth putting in the work truck or shop for when a fast repair is needed.
