I've heard a large number of similar stories regarding rescue tape.  Though
I have never used it to repair vehicle coolant hoses (I do carry it in  my
camper just in case), I have used it for repairs of gardening hoses and
irrigation lines.  It has always failed, in some cases rather quickly.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but I have followed the instructions
very carefully.

BTW, I have looked at similar silicone tapes from big box stores and
hardware stores.  Unless it is "Rescue Tape" (trademarked) it is much
thinner.  I have never bought such tapes.
