[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape is great. I used it to fix my kids bounce house. I was a little worried that it might not work because the bounce house is like a canvas material, but it worked great. I used some of the tape with it deflated and then turned the air on to help find other holes and I was still able to apply the tape with air blowing out of the holes. Our kids bounce house now works perfectly again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ended up getting a hold in my brand new hose and I couldn't return because I bought online and didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it, someone had suggested this tape so I thought why not. It worked well! My only complaint is getting it off the tube it ended up getting stuck on the knife I used to cut it and it was such a mess to get off, I also kind of wish there was a double sided option so I could use for other things. Other than that what a great product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always held off on purchasing flex tape due to the color options being white or black. I recently used this on the inside of my canoe that had a small leak and the commercials weren't kidding! This stuff really seals well! Have taken the canoe out a couple more times and it is still holding. I'm sure I'll be using this a lot more next summer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 55 gallon drum full of water that I use to mix saltwater for an aquarium. It developed a leak at the seam. Not wanting to dump an entire drum of saltwater to plastic weld, I figured I'd try the Flex Tape. Flex tape slowed the leak enough that I didn't need to dump an entire drum of saltwater right then, but it wasn't what I would call "repaired" in any way. I still had to prep and complete an actual repair the next day. Using the Flex Tape left a really sticky mess behind, so I would not recommenced using this tape unless it was an absolute emergency and definitely not to use it on something you will need to clean and prep for a later repair.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a hole on my pool tarp and living in Florida it rains all the time, I've always been a fan of Flexseal, but this really surprised me that it held out all the water from the rain the other day. Flexseal will hold anything and everything.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I figured I would get a roll of Flex Seal tape just to see if all the hype was true. As an engineer, I wanted to see if it would really work. Having played with duct tape for years to do repair and knowing its limitations, was this tape really better? Bottom line, YES it is!! I had a chance to use it on a repair for my water hose that was going bad. I opened the package and unrolled a piece of tape, the first thing I noticed was the tape itself was very thick and made of a rubberized material, like a pool liner. The material is very pliable and will mold itself around any curved or odd shape. To cut it, you need a good pair of scissors, there is no tearing this tape. The second thing I noticed, is the glue used on the tape is unbelievable. Once taped to something, especially to itself, its virtually impossible to take off with out cutting it off. The first time I wrapped it around the hose, it was a little uneven, I needed to cut it off to do it a second time. Once I reapplied the tape the hose worked like new.
There are a few tools that every house needs, hammer, screw driver, etc… Everyone needs to add roll of Flex Seal tape. The number of applications for this tape is endless, the quick temporary patching of holes in walls, to stopping leaks in pipe or hoses, to things I can’t think of yet but will have Flex Tape for it just in case. I would highly recommend have some on hand just in case and give it as a gift, they may look at you strange, but they will definitely thank you the first time they need it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this tape to try out around the house and on my pop-up camper. It works well. I have used it on small holes in canvas on my camper and used for little jobs around the house. This tape is flexible and strong and holds well. I like the clear color so it doesn’t show up on my projects. It is well made and durable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product lives up to all its claims. Actually had a rip in my travel trailer awning and put this over the spot. It kept all water from coming through the tear. Also can cut into smaller pieces and works great for smaller quick patches.
