My expectations were too high.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this tape for a few things around the house to see if it came close to being the amazing product I had seen used in the Flex Tape commercials. Long story short, it's not. If I hadn't had high expectations for this tape, maybe it wouldn't have been such a let down, but I was expecting an "emergency, fix anything in a jam" type product & this wasn't it. Maybe under ideal weather conditions, with the perfect material leaking and on a perfectly clean flat surface this tape would have performed... but If I had that I could have just used a $3 tube of silicone.
I have an older garden hose that had gotten a pinhole leak and tried out the Flex Tape on that. No dice. I cleaned the hose well and applied the tape when it was dry. It looked like a good seal with no wrinkles or air bubbles. Water leaked from under both ends of the tape once the water was turned back on.
I tried it on a section of gutter where the seam had a small leak. This seemed to work somewhat. Again, I cleaned and dried the area and applied the Flex Tape making sure there were no air bubbles. I put the hose in the gutter and watched for water to drip down to my flower bed. It still dripped. Maybe less than before, but it wasn't sealed like I had hoped.
I guess my biggest disappointment with this tape is how messy it is. It's crazy sticky and leaves a real mess wen you remove it. Flex Seal claims to be for temporary fixes or for an emergency, but with the mess you get left with it's hard to make a proper repair after it's been used.
One thing this tape did work for was to seal a slow air leak in the valve on my inflatable paddle board. This tape does make a really good gasket material. It's thick enough that I was able to use a piece almost like a rubber washer in between the two pieces of the bulkhead and I was able to tighten the bulkhead and seal up the air leak.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This Stuff Is Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly wasn’t sure if this would be enough to fix the roof rack on my car. But it was PERFECT! Blends in and holds strong. Like if I had just replaced it with a new piece. It’s exposed to the weather and is holding up like a champion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this to repair a few holes in the pool for our kids and it works GREAT. I applied it to the inside of the vinyl pool liner and filled it with water the next day. No leaks so far and the kids are SOOO HAPPY to have their pool back for the rest of the summer.

Awesome Tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best sealer I've ever used. The roof on my travel trailer kept leaking, then I put some of this tape over the bad spots. Sure enough, the leaks stopped. All you have to do is clean the area and lay down the tape.

Works as advertised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff works. I had a leak on my pool pump on a Sunday evening, when I had no way to get a replacement. I was able to use this Flex Tape and patch it until I could get to the pool store the next day. I was worried about it holding over night but I was wrong it did not leak a drop!

Tape sealant

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one amazing thing to have. I personally used it to patch my pool fro a leak and it sealed it instantly even under water. This can be used for just about anything such as,roof leaks,plumbing and even on walls. Bonds to almost any type of material whether plastic,metal,wood and ceramic among other things. I got 2 rolls of this for future purposes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape is absolutely incredible!! I was a little skeptical at first, but all I can say is wow!! This tape lives up to the hype! I have used it on several occasions and not only does it hold up, it stops water from leaking and fixes other cracks and breaks!
I would recommend this to a friend!
