That is a funny commercial. I can see a few possible uses for that. Fixing a PVC sprinkler pipe is not one of them.

Sure seems strong. Agreed on wondering how it would hold up in the wet.

Shark Tank product that Lori Greiner picked up and has been introduced all over retail. Seems to be doing rather well.

Ive used it. doesn't work so great on a dripping pvc pipe. then couldn't remove it to try something else. I can see where it would be great on other applications though

The idea is not new. A similar tape was introduced to set broken bones. It's an alternative to using traditional plaster bandages.
It's a fiberglass bandage mixed with resin. You submerge it in water then squeeze out the excess then wrap. The water is the catalyst and whole thing gets warm as it sets.
