FAQs

How long does the Holts Gun Gum Bandage last?

The lifespan of the repair depends on factors such as the size and location of the damage, driving conditions, and environmental factors. It's a temporary fix, and the repair may need to be redone.

Can I use the Gun Gum Bandage on the catalytic converter?

It is generally not recommended to use the Gun Gum Bandage on a catalytic converter. The extreme heat generated by catalytic converters can degrade the bandage rapidly.

Is the Holts Gun Gum Bandage safe to use?

Yes, the Holts Gun Gum Bandage is asbestos-free, making it safe for use when applied correctly. Always wear gloves when handling the bandage and avoid contact with skin and eyes.

What tools do I need to apply the bandage?

You will need the Holts Gun Gum Bandage, water, a wire brush for cleaning the exhaust, and potentially pliers or wire cutters for securing the wire.

Can I paint over the Gun Gum Bandage?

Yes, after the bandage has completely dried and hardened, you can paint over it with a high-temperature exhaust paint for improved aesthetics and added protection.

What if the hole is too big for the bandage?

The Holts Gun Gum Bandage is designed for small holes and cracks. If the damage is too extensive, it may not be effective. In such cases, consider welding or replacing the exhaust component.

Does the exhaust need to be removed to apply the bandage?

No, the bandage can typically be applied without removing the exhaust. However, ensure that there's enough space to wrap the bandage around the damaged area. Sometimes, you may need to loosen clamps or supports.

Troubleshooting

Bandage is not sealing properly, and exhaust leaks persist.

Ensure the bandage is wrapped tightly and completely covers the damaged area. Re-moisten the bandage and reapply, ensuring a good seal. Check for other areas of damage in the exhaust system.

Bandage is cracking or falling apart after application.

The exhaust system may be subject to excessive heat or vibration. Consider reapplying with extra layers. Ensure the exhaust system is properly supported. The damage might be too extensive for this product.
