Waxtite

Waxtite is a type of material that acts like glue for pipes. It looks like a stick of crayon and feels a bit like Play-Doh. When you twist off a small piece of waxtite, you can shape and mold it with your hands into a long, thin snake-like shape.

Then, you can put this waxtite around the end of a pipe and press it into place. When you tighten the pipe connector, the waxtite compresses and creates a tight seal that prevents water from leaking out of the pipe.

It's kind of like using a Play-Doh snake to plug up a leaky hole in a toy boat. The waxtite acts like a sealant to keep the water inside the boat where it belongs.

Waxtite is really helpful for fixing small leaks in pipes, and it's easy to use. Just make sure you use enough waxtite to create a good seal, and be careful not to use too much or it could cause a blockage in your pipes.
