Flex seal!

[cgd7777777]

just found a product that may make some of the repair forum obsolete!

"like a handyman in a can"
as seen on tv products usually are very disappointing

Re: Flex seal!

Only needs a perfectly clean surface to adhere to. Will hold as good as the dirt you apply it to.

Re: Flex seal!

It's the same as Plasti-Dip and other products, only 3x the price of those. The box stores carry assorted brands for about $6 a can.

I especly liked the screen door bottom in the boat bit. But i noticed a nice big cuddy in the back ground.

Re: Flex seal!

I wonder how many cans they used on the door? and can only imagine someone getting overspray all over something they did'nt want coated w the black, sticky stuff. Reminds me of a time my brother got a "deal" on a 16'/48 jonboat. He coated the entire leaky bottom w mobilehome roofing sealer. It worked great! no more leaks........however the boat was alot heavyer w the thick layer of unsmooth coating and sat deeper in the water, the extra weight made it harder to get to and from the water, carring it down and up the bank from the bed of the truck he hauled it w. He soon sold it to a guy who parked it on the shore of his pond out back.

A friend of mine did same thing to his jon boat he used fiberglass drywall mesh tape on seams ..
You just might be a redneck if you......

IF you get what you pay for, it must be 3X as good. LOL

Re: Flex seal!

That stuff looks almost as good as duct tape!

Re: Flex seal!

Looks can be deceiving, nothing is as good as duct tape. You must be from the city, and wear a suit. LOL

Spray on underseal !!!!

Re: Flex seal!

Roscoe, I said "almost." LOL I know better. Nothing in the world can do a better job on any repair/project than duct tape.

And I don't even own a suit!! Don't live in the city either, although I do live a little to close for my taste! LOL

:facepalm: You guys are in way over your heads. Duck Tape, purveyor of many fine products, including duct tape, makes an outstanding repair tape. However, as many of our veterans will tell you, it can't compare to Gorilla Tape. As for Flexseal, I've never tried it. I have, however, applied three cans of PlastiDip (original black) to the floor of my 1990-something river raft with great results. http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=519776

Re: Flex seal!

Duct tape is for temporary emergency repairs, and when you may need to remove it later. Gorilla tape is for permanent fixes! and whats up w the price? Is it made from real Gorillas?

Re: Flex seal!

In regards to using duct tape, or having a suit. It is possible to have your cake and eat it too.

Wear underwear coated with Flex Seal and you're golden.

Maybe not....:facepalm:

"Leaky roof? That'll cost you thousands!!!"
Yep you may save thousands till your "handy man in a can" calls it a day, and your drywall starts dripping, costing you thousands more.

Re: Flex seal!

I heard Flex Seal was just Hair in a Can, w/o the hair. I'm not gonna buy any. But I am interested in the FANTASTIC automobile computer diagnostic thingy I've seen on other TV adds. It's just like the ones the pros use, but I can use my own and It can save me $1000s by having me find out what's wrong, and telling the mechanic how to fix my autos! pays for itself the first time you use it!

Re: Flex seal!

I especially liked the screen door bottom in the boat bit...

I guess forgetting to latch the screen door is kinda like forgetting to put the plug in.
