[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the flex seal flex tape to fix a leak in a pipe ot the Plummer could get heir to fix it the tape is very sticky you have to get the right spot the first try I would se this again it held to the Plummer got there
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I have always "Seen" how this tape is suppose to work on those commercials and was very very hesitate about it not going to lie. But when I tried it was in total disbelief IT WORKS! I had a bucket that I only had one of and of course didn't know it made a huge mess of water all over the place. I remembered that I had some flex tape so I used that and it worked like a charm! I can honestly say this will be a MUST HAVE In this household now. I just couldn't believe it. Not only that it was super super easy to apply. The only thing is if you are needing it to hold something with a lot of pressure(like a pressure washer) I would not suggest this. BUt all in all GREAT product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really had high hopes especially after seeing commercials on it. First off, trying to get this out of the package was a handful. The wrapper stuck to the tape like it had melted or something. Really was not graceful in getting the tape out. But I finally did! I used this on a garden hose that had a pin hole. Which I thought was perfect since the hole was not even huge. I taped it and smoothed it out just like it said to. I even waited longer than the 24 hours recommended for a full bond. After 2 days I finally decided to try it, to my dismay the water trickled out. I saw on the instructions getting the tape off MAY lead to worse issues. So I tried, thinking maybe i needed to smooth it better. It did make things worse like it said. The hole grew in size, so I decided to try it again. This time using more and a longer section. I have to say it still did not fix it, threw the whole hose away. I tried it on an air compressor hose as well, you could actually hear the air making noise against the tape. So again it didnt work on that either. I tried it on a torn piece of seat and it held that but to me if felt more like tape. So in that context it worked well, but sadly did not work for much else.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start off by saying that no one likes to find a leak during a 2am bathroom trip. But I did and I really didn’t have the brain power to diagnose or fix anything. So...Flex Tape to the rescue. It worked so well, I might have put off the repair for a day. It sticks, it stays and it doesn’t budge. I liked that it wasn’t hard to get off when the time came to repair the pipe. I thought I was going to have to fight for a while since it stuck in with all its might during the temporary repair. Looking back, this would have saved us so much trouble and headache if we’d had it in the past! I’m going to make sure to always have a roll on hand, and send the kids off to their new places with a roll.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product makes tons of promises in regards to its seal quality as well as durability. I tested this product out on a leak my child had amongst her sprinkler toy. Needless to say it worked as described! I was able to wrap the tape around the area of the tubing that was holey and it withstood the hot sun without cracking, and wetness from the water without peeling. I’m very happy to know I can use this in/around water and trust that it is going to work for me. I am looking forward to using this tape in the future for other problems/projects
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this to try on a leaky water hose and it sealed the holes and sticks so well it will not come back off. This tape stuck even though it was wet and has formed a very good seal around the holes. It doesn't bulge under the pressure and I love that it's clear so it's not easily seen. I recommend this flex tape.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Flex Tape is incredible! I believe the hype about it now. We had a water bottle that had a hole in it. We put Flex Tape on the hole and within seconds that bottle did not leak at all. It is waterproof! My son was very impressed. It's the strongest tape I've ever seen. Wow!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I woke up to an outside pipe that started leaking at my home & luckily I had a roll of the Flex Tape on hand to use immediately. It was easy to apply to the pipe although I did dry it first upon application. After turning the water back on, the Flex Tape worked & I was able to go on with my day with no worries. The tape that I used was clear so it is not noticeable. So far even in rainy weather, it is holding up well. I’ll be keep keeping a roll of this for future emergency use at my home.
