                                        Alternative Uses

 We have put together a list of alternative uses which  have been suggested to us by the general public.

    Repair a leaking waste pipe behind the toilet (toilet gland) with Sylglas Waterproofing Tape.  If left for 6 - 8 weeks Sylglas Waterproofing Tape will form a 'skin' which can then be overpainted, with an emulsion paint.

    If you have a leaking toilet gland sylglas waterproofing tape can be used to wrap around the joint to prevent further leakage.* Tip   If there is a difference in levels at the place of the joint then cut a length of waterproofing tape, twist to create a rope and place around the joint to fill out so that a lesser amount of tape is needed for the total job.
 
If you have a cracked gutter (metal only) this could be repaired by filling in the cracks withwhy not use sylglas products to repair a cracked gutter rather than replacing it.  Simply use sylglas plumberfix to fill in any large cracks and then line the inside of the gutter with sylglas gutter repair tape Sylglas Plumberfix and then lining the inside of the gutter with Sylglas Gutter Repair Tape.
