UPDATE: Before leaving a "you didn't follow the instructions" comment, my paper instructions (seen between 0:51 - 1:05) differ from the instructions I found recently online. So if you're wondering why I didn't wait 10 - 15 minutes as stated in the instructions you might've had, it's most likely because your instructions have been updated, whereas, mine were old (and said the cure time was 2 - 5 minutes). The instructions I found online are way more detailed. If you don't believe me, just pause my video when I show the instructions, and compare both. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/097...
Another YouTuber stated a similar problem I had, in which his instructions were vague as well: • Видео For example, he mentions that his instructions don't explain how to use the sandpaper (whereas, the online version explains its use.) I'm assuming FiberFix sold their product with inferior instructions before, but have now changed it.
FYI, after I saw that FiberFix had failed fixing my hose, I made sure to read both sets of instructions to see if I had made a mistake, and all that I found was the very vague, "For leaks...use vinyl strip to maximize performance" step. Then I went online and found FiberFix's detailed video instructions for fixing leaky hoses, which differ greatly from my very simple instructions. Read below to see how.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this video, I explain how I didn't follow the paper set of instructions, in which commenters are telling me that's where I failed- BUT, if I had followed this paper set of instructions, the results would've still been the same (as the paper instructions were nearly identical to the ones on the package, except for the vague, "use vinyl tape to maximize performance" step).
To be clear, there's actually 3 sets of instructions. One set is on the package within the box, one set is on a separate piece of paper (also in the box), and the correct set of instructions that are specific to fixing leaky hoses is on their YouTube channel.
• How to fix a leaky hose
(Also, they make a lateral cut in their hose using a box cutter and are able to fix it. The hole in my hose isn't a uniform cut and is longitudinal-- I believe this would be even more difficult to fix with FIberFix.)
I assumed that the vinyl tape had to go underneath the FiberFix, BUT after watching FiberFix's YouTube video, the vinyl tape is supposed to be wrapped over it to help seal the resin. How to use the tape is not as simple as just "use it". According to the video, you have to wrap it tightly, smooth it down, put it on a certain way, keep it on while drying-- but these details are nowhere to be seen on the written instructions, nor is it even specified as mandatory for leaky hoses (as mentioned in their video)
Not only do the instructions on the package do not make it clear on how to use the vinyl tape, the curing time changes for leaky hoses (instead of 2 - 5 minutes, the curing time is 15 - 20 minutes.) This time difference is nowhere to be seen on any of the instructions within the box.
Lastly, it would take maybe 3 boxes of FiberFix to get the necessary "8 - 10 layers". (Which by the way, the video says 6 - 8 layers.)
If only they were clear on how to use the product and that you might have to buy multiples, I'd be very supportive of FIberFix. This is the last time I'd order from them.
On the bright side, at least my hose is semi-usable!
