Has anyone used it to repair garden hose? Is it good for flexible applications?

I didn't use this for a hose, but rather to attach panels on our greenhouse. I agree with David L. Little, though... It feels like very thick packing tape and isn't flexible.. It also didn't hold up that well in the rain. I had to remove some of it and replaced it with clear duck tape, which has held 100% better. The gorilla tape really seems to be very overpriced for what it is..

I think you could use it as a temporary fix for a hole in a pressure hose. Make sure the hose is clean before you apply it. I used it for a drain hose just fine, but there was no pressure in the hose. There is some flexibility but it is a thicker tape, so it's not going to be like regular duck tape.

I used Gorilla Clear Repair on an RV storage cover that had been torn by high winds. The tape has a good adhesive...unlike another product that was sold specifically for RV awnings. So far, it is working.

No, it wont work for that. There is another Gorilla Tape specifically for heavy-duty applications. I also purchased THAT one here on Amazon. Here is the link: Gorilla Tape To-GoTHIS ONE will be perfect for what you have in mind. :-)

Not flexible, and no hope whatsoever on a hose repair, unless maybe just a tiny pinhole.This just clear shipping tape, but a little thicker and a little stickier than usual.

Yes!!! I have two of these. I use one for an air hose and one for 100 ft of 10 gauge extension cord. I don't use the garden hose fittings. I just feed the hose in and out of the side and then I start winding. They work like a dream. I have had several air hose reels and this beats them all. It only takes a couple of moments and 200 ft of hose is all wound up.

It is certainly not the hard rubber style of soaker hose that gets brittle and breaks. It is very flexible.

hi if you are refering to garden hose i'd say it will be very marginal, if it was a propane hose i'd say yes, even a regular vice-grip would have a hard time with a garden hose unless it has curved jaws, the proper tool would be channel locks.

I use mine for drilling into the ground to loosen the soil in my gold prospecting hobby. It has held up very well with no issues, and must be of a good quality or I would have broken or bent it by now. A PVC septic line should be easy work for this tool.

I don't know about the flex hose. This is just like any regular garden hose except that it is drinking grade. I use it in the yard because the kids like to drink from the hose in the hot summer. It does not automatically extend and roll up.

Most customers find that this is a flexible and not stiff hose.Melanie with Goedekers

I think sugru would work well for this.I've used it to fix broken Lego trains, garden hoses and electric cords. Instructables.com and the Sugru website have additional ideas and uses.

I agree with the previous person responding. This uses a standard garden hose connection and is very durable.

I think it will work for the job you describe. It is flexible like rubber and bends very easily. Good luck with your job.

Yes it would work for a garden hose. As the other person said it is quite stiff. It is a very thick sturdy hose.

This is more of a gasket sealant. (O-rings and washers) It will work for garden hose gaskets as it is a hydrophobic sealant/lubricant. Typically garden hoses only need good rubber gaskets and clean threads. If you want to seal threads you'll need teflon tape for metal or pipe joint compound for plastics as these are more suited for stronger seals.

It will repair anywhere on the hose. If part of the housing or hard plastic broke this won't fix it.

Seems like you are asking how flexible the hose is. I have acquired 4 different brands of 4" dust collection has and this is one of the most flexible of them all. I actually prefer polyethylene hose over this PVC one but for the price this one works fine.

I bought 2 for commercial use in my bodyshop. A far better quality hose than anything I could find at Lowes or Home Depot. Have had them several months. Use them multiple times eveyday with no problems yet. Hope this helps.

I have never used it on a garden hose, but I don't see any reason why it could not be used. This is a good, handy product to have around.

No, I bought a flexible curly hose off Amazon to go with it. But, I love this little compressor. It is just right for finish nailing, etc.
