Package instead of fum tape

What to do if there is no fum tape at hand? I live away from the city and forgot to buy it somehow. I began to look for how to seal the thread. No electrical tape, thread, etc., came up for this.

Suddenly a small bag of “T-shirt” came to hand, tore it into pieces, it turned out to be thin and malleable, cut strips with scissors from the bag and wrapped it tightly around the thread. Holds PERFECT! The material is very thin, can be wound tightly as needed. It penetrates well between threads. I then sealed a lot of things with packages, I like this material even more than FUM tape.

Moreover, the joints are perfectly sealed, for example, there is a tap on a street washbasin that leaks between the tank, at the junction. We take the strips of the bag and wrap the joint, and then press the tap a bit with a nut, if possible, hold it better than any gaskets and do not need to remove the tap.

FUM tape is usually made of fluoroplastic, and the packages are made of HDPE or LDPE.

With my own eyes I saw many gasified 12- and 15-story houses.

Do not squeeze, but seep between it and the thread. Even if we compare the first floor of five- and sixteen-story buildings, the difference in pressure will be enormous !!!! Plus, and water hammering that happens in high-rise buildings reaches 500 percent of working pressure ...
Why do you think houses that are higher than 9 floors are not gasified? ... Because, if you pump gas to such a height, the liquid fraction will pour out of the vents on the first floors!))))

I don’t know, it’s not cutting with me. Thin layer, plus shake "under the cone."Well, I will not argue, enough for my needs. I wind and for metal, automobile connections for example.

In addition, if you turn not on plastic, but on “cast iron”, for example (Or, even on “brass” and “iron”), then this package will be cut by the thread and will be driven to the base of the thread. I don’t particularly trust Fumke in such matters. She is "for clean." And there, "where you need to pull the pipe with the 3rd number" - only flax + selikon or "Unipak"!

ABOUT! The "Old Guard" has splashed! )))). Those who rewound the cassette with a pencil, knocked and wrinkled 373 batteries and made mudguards on the moped from a rubber pad on the floor to hang reflectors))))). The youth, obviously, did not come across ... Yes, and not everyone knows what the "passion" is already.))))

And what, the pressure will squeeze the bag out of the thread?)) Of course I do not live in an apartment, and the fact that it’s public, I never touch or repair it myself.

The bottom neighbor, I remember doing a couple with a pipe, tore something and the water went into the electrical panel. There were terrible shots in the entrance, the stink, everyone ran out into the street, we were alone at home))) Then I looked, all the wiring burned there, network wires in the trash, television, in short kapets. But Nitsche, the man didn’t put him in jail, I don’t even know how he got out.

That's right, the washbasin will hold perfectly, the pressure there is ridiculous, but in the city water supply it is greater.

So from these same contraceptives good passions were obtained! And, most importantly, their elasticity was well regulated. I unwound more or less - and you can pick up under any pulleys!

I remembered our rzhach about gloves, in ancient times it was necessary to make passics from ~~rut~~ contraceptives!
