I have a 4" cast iron waste pipe coming into the basement of a property. It appears to be coated with a woven mesh material which has then been painted. I wondered if anybody had any idea as to what the material could be. I've also come across similar on a 1/2" copper water pipe . Any help gratefully received as looking to bond the pipe subject to further investigation.
Back when I was not so Ancient, many ships had pipework that had been repaired with a Thistlebond bandage. Wearing gloves, you wrapped the supplied bandage around the cracked pipe after coating with the epoxy resin type goo, dabbing on more goo as you wound it on. The goo, dried to a translucent lager beer colour.
This seems to be the 21st century version. Probably too many ships engineers are still stuck to the pipes for not wearing gloves with the really sticky stuff...
