[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I could share a video to show the before and after but unfortunately i can only share a picture. I had a pinpoint size hold in the plastic handle of my sink hose and when the hot water was turned all the way up it would spray and make an absolute mess so I immediately thought flex tape would be my saving grace. I opened the package, read the instructions, cut a piece off, removed the backing and applied the flex tape to the cleaned and dried surface and then waited 24 hours to use my kitchen sink so that the bond could seal. Unfortunately after 24 hours it still wasn’t enough to stop the leak. I turned my sink on and water filled up behind the tape which you can see in the middle of the handle and then started dropping out from the top and bottom of the tape. Completely disappointed and unimpressed. I’m glad I only had a leak and didn’t cut my boat in half!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband loves using FLEX TAPE - White, Large 4" X 5'. He uses it for everything. A hole in the kid's pool, flex tape. Had to patch a hole in the wall, instead of using a patch he just measured the flex tape and it worked perfectly. The tape is water-resistant and weather-resistant.It can be used inside and outside. I would recommend to all the husbands who like to fix things the easy way.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this tape outside on an old sprinkler that had a broken leg. It held up like a charm and even got a little wet! This tape was super easy to use and to tear and there was plenty on the roll. Great for all types of projects!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape works well for making repairs to items that are not going to be submerged in water. I had a small crack in my gutter and this did the job of fixing it but it did not hold up when I used it on a small leak on the pipe leading to my water heater. Water seeped right under the tape. The surface needs to be completely dry before applying. And it does very easily stick to itself so having a third hand is helpful.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to hold my ac unit into my window because it kept falling out the window. So far its been almost a week and this flex tape has held up so well. Its still holding up just as strong as it did the first day I put it on, even through the heat and condensation the unit puts out. It was also easy to use and didnt leave any residue on my scissors or anything. I definitely recommend this flex tape.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, I recently decided to try the flex tape on a water hose that has cracked. It held up rather nice but, still squirted water. It definitely held long enough for me to get a majority of my yard sprayed. I will be using it again in the future and hopefully a couple more rounds to hold tighter.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Flex Tape works great and has great uses. I like the fact that it is clear so it is not very noticeable when it is applied. We used this tape last weekend to patch up a hole in one of the hoses of my uncles boat. It lasted great the whole weekend! My uncle was very impressed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time . It seemed like everything was springing a leak on me ! The sink, the tub , the kids pool outside .
First let’s talk about the stick. It had level 100 stickiness . I’m pretty sure at this point that you could use it to wax your eyebrows , not that I’d recommend that. It holds up so well !
It’s so easy to apply too ! I love how they have the plastic Incase the tap falls back down so you don’t have to fight with it to unstick from something . Makes life easier .
I’m not a fix it yourself type of person . I normally save that for my husband , but with the ease of this super flex tape I got all of our plumbing issues fixed, and even patched up the kiddie pool that the dogs hadn’t destroyed . Not one drop of water has been leaked since .
I recommend this to help with any project you’re trying to get done that’s leaky . It’s well worth it and holds up amazing
