and a nice roll of stainelss safety wire. you just pull on the pliers and it spins the safety wire making it clamp the wrap.

Do you have to spray anything on the raw pipe...or on the wrap after it is installed?
The water sounds legit but has anyone else done it?

I used big worm clamps to hold then ends together, I think it looks pretty good.
If you soak the wrap, it will make a huge mess but does make it easier to wrap tight.
