[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised at the strength of this flex tape. The handle on my garden rake broke and I decided to use this tape on it to see if it would hold. After I wrapped it I went back to the garden and began to rake as I normally would and it actually held it together so I could finish my work. Excellent tape.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If I’m being honest I had never heard of this product up until recently and man I wish I had, it’s a life saver! There are countless amount of times where I’ve needed to quick fix something and I could’ve used this instead of all the other products I tried. It truly does what it says, I used it for a few different options the most important being our swimming pool! It’s had the most annoying leak and I tried all kinds of things to try and stop it but nothing worked, Flextape worked perfectly... be aware that it is ultra sticky and a tad difficult to work with at first but it’s worth it. So far our pool has lasted the rest of the summer and I have zero doubts that it’d last even longer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tested out this product by cutting a whole in the bottom of a plastic cup. I filled it with water and placed a piece of the Flex Tape over the bottom, while the water was pouring out. As in the commercial, it stuck to the cup well enough to seal the leak. I even let it sit for a couple hours and it held. The directions to say to push out any air bubbles - so it's not as simple as slapping it on as they demonstrate - but it does do the trick. I look forward to trying in a real world situation but I'm convinced this will seal a leak if needed. Cons?: the sticky substance is almost like fly paper. Just cutting the tape got some of the adhesive on my scissors and it's almost impossible to remove. It's also thick - so it's not going to be a pretty fix. But it works and that's most important.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband used this while he was building a storage shed for me. He used it to seal the edges of the roof, so create a waterproof seal, and when we tested to see if it would leak, it held strong, and didn't let any water pass through!
It is 4 inches wide, so the perfect size for our project, and was very easy to put on. My husband and I were impressed by its ease of use, and the rubberized feel of the tape. It bonded instantly, and is holding very strong.
I will definitely be getting more of this when we rebuild his studio!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this to use on the roof of my vintage camper. It is VERY sticky and keeps a water tight seal. I used it around the roof vents and so far have been very pleased with the product. Going to purchase more to use around windows.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape works well if you understand how to use it. The versatility is as advertised because the tape does conform and stick to any basic surface. I used it to patch a kiddie pool, and it does work underwater...with a caveat. You basically need to have the surface clean and dry before sticking the tape on, or otherwise the adhesive won't catch and it will float to the top. If you don't clean and dry the surface you're taping, you won't get the best results. Other than that, it works and it's still stuck on there even after several uses the last 2 weeks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the FLEX TAPE - White, Large 4" X 5' to repair my poor pop up camper. It had a couple tears and holes and this size roll was the perfect size. It came highly recommended by my coworker who used it on his tent. The results have been awesome! I've been so happy with the results and how it has worked for us. I would definitely recommend it! It's strong and as flexible as they they it is. I now keep a roll at home. In my trunk and with my camping supplies.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tape is tape right? nothing new here. Cool thing about this one is huge and comes with extra glue. It's super sticky! Seems durable too. Haven't had the chance to use it on a project that would stress it out but looks ok.
