I was in Woodies at the weekend and asked for some. The poor guy had no idea what I was talking about. Does it go by another name? Do B&Q stock it?

Thanks,
MJ

Yes B&Q but Maplins marginally cheaper.

Around the 10 Euro.

One reel will last a long time unless you an installer. Cut about 2" off with sissors for each connector. Tension till it about 50% narrower. It only sticks to itself. Make sure everything is dry. It sets and makes a stretchy water tight rubber sleeve.

There is gooey tape you can get but it is messy and not actually as good. Moresuitable as a gasket.
Oddly the same thing in a box with a reel of sticky cloth tape as a 3M pipe repair kit is cheaper in the Co-Op

Total price inc delivery would be €13, but I would be getting quite alot from them so the delivery is not that important,
but is quite high for a single item,

how much do you need?

Not a lot Tony, When I was putting up my dish and motor, I just used plain electrical tape. So far I think I have been lucky with that, but I would like to do the job properly.
