[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this tape to hang Birthday decorations and banners outside at a pavilion and outdoor fireplace. The tape worked great on different surfaces and kept the banners up on the fireplace. I will definitely purchase more to have on hand.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Durable and super sticky.
The adhesive is super aggressive and bonds to most things. The tape seems to be pressure sensitive, I repositioned it a few times before locking it into place. The tape is thick and can adhere to an unsmooth surface.
I was surprised by this product because I assumed that “flexible” meant stretchy, that is not the case. The backing material is flexible meaning it can bend to conform to a surface but it will not stretch if pulled with moderate force. That makes this tape unique and it is more durable than other products on the market (ex. window flashing which are not UV resistant.) Stretchy materials support a different function than this tape was intended for. The manufacturer also added features that increase the durability of this product with direct exposure to the elements.
I was able to span unsupported holes and the product worked wonderfully. The tape material was firm and resisted poking/prodding without leaking. I also did a repair to the portable basketball hoop’s counterweight base that we punctured during assembly. With the clear backing, I was able to visually confirm that the patch conformed to the irregular shape and pressed out all of the visible air bubbles for complete adhesion. I added a second larger patch as a wearing surface for additional protection. The hoop is regularly moved and the repair is watertight, as expected. I’m looking forward to seeing how the repair holds up over the winter.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Flex Tape in color white to fix a leak in the bottom of my grandmothers white milk glass carafe. It stopped leakage immediately and you cannot even tell it is there. Now we can use this family heirloom daily like we used to before an accidental drop. I can’t wait to use it on other items that need fixing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product and very durable. I used this on a cracked topper on my UTV. The top had cracks and when it would rain it would leak. Put a few pieces over the cracks and it doesn’t leak any longer. Has held up a few weeks now. Wonderful product! Would recommend for a durable fix.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly didnt know what flex tape was before I received a sample. It worked wonders in creating a seal on the PVC pipe under my sink. I had used everything I could think of to keep it from dripping and this was the temporary fix I needed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to put together a series of irrigation pipes and keep the seams together and keep rainwater moving through the system. It was easy to cut and handle and creates a really strong joint. Looking forward to using this to in other places around the house.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't believe how well it works. After a few weeks, it's still working perfectly. No leaking! BTW, I did say cracks -- a couple of major ones too. The main crack runs about 13 inches. Even though there's flex on the floor (from me standing on it) the tape still holds incredibly well. So the tape is strong and still retains some give.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m impressed with how well this works and how it has held up. I used this to repair our leaky sink and so far it is doing great. Beware though, it is extremely sticky. It will stick to everything and anything, including your hands. Do not use a knife or scissors to cut through it otherwise you won’t be able to get it off. Use a razor blade instead. For easiest use, remove the cover to the sticky side slowly and piece by piece, and it would also be helpful to have an extra set of hands. Although it has worked great for me, I think I would love this way more if it came in pre-cut strips, just to avoid the hassle.
