Patch, Bond, Seal and Repair! That's the promise from the makers of "Flex Tape", a product so strong it's shown to work even underwater in its TV ad. Consumer reporter Steve Noviello puts it to the Deal or Dud test!

Im actually stunned. When I first saw this on tv I immediately ran to youtube looking for real-life test reviews. You guys are the first video Ive seen to actually put it to the test. Pretty impressed that it works! I dont have any need for it but suddenly I wanna buy it just cuz....hahaha

If only they had some flex tape on the titanic...

@reelheel5919 7 лет назад

If this was a scam product I doubt the manufacturer would have sent them instructions on how to duplicate their tv ads. That tells me that they stand behind their product and this independent review shows it.

Nice to finally see a product that actually does what it says it can do.

I have used flex tape and paint on several projects and been very satisfied..had 100 lb plasitc weather proof sandbags used to weigh down 10 ft patio umbrellas that were absorbing water N growing alge..used black flex spray N it sealed the bags and solved the moist alge problem and used clear spray to fix torn screens seams..used flex spray to fix loose shoe insole inserts tks flex

A piece of nonadhesive plastic would seal that underwater hole. The water pressure is what is holding the tape in place.

@johnorabone6112 6 лет назад

Had a major breach of a rubber membrane roof after three consecutive Nor'easters. Severe damage from projectiles. The FlexSeal tape worked incredibally well even when the patches were applied in driving rain. All patches held for quite a while and held until new roof was installed. it is what it says it is.

@ronburley7026 5 лет назад

i used the tape on my 2003 s10 , rusted cab corners last year & still holding

@themanrecon6652 5 лет назад

I used this product and it's GREAT, it's worth its weight in gold..plus I love the commercial with cut boat in half but the newer one with clear tape with boat cut in half with sharks swimming all around it lol..that's priceless...

@tamralejack6497 6 лет назад

@TheAirheaded1 7 лет назад

All those tests look positive, but I was more interested about what kind of psi it can handle, can you wrap it around some old copper pipes with a small crack (due to frozen pipes)?

I used it on a pool pump hose for temporary fix Water was spraying hard, worked great for 3 days till I had time to replace hose

@thesarbot9502 6 лет назад

You heard it right at the end of this video - - Flex Tape is meant to be a temporary solution . . . and hope that no oil or grease get's anywhere near it because the adhesive is easily removed from hands or surfaces by warm cooking oil (or many other solvents).

@franklinstahl3711 6 лет назад

@cherylwright6182 7 лет назад

I suddenly got the urge to break something so I can fix it with flextape !

@LTDANMAN44 7 лет назад

@hheellppaarrttyy 7 лет назад

more important it was so easy, the only trick i learned is u want to cut the piece of tape your using with the clear backing then pull and apply off the roll.

@OzyTheMyth 6 лет назад

@cowgirl9543 6 лет назад

Thank you for showing me this, I thought it was going to be a dud and then I'd have spent $60 for nothing (2 rolls) Whew!!

@100PercentOS2 6 лет назад

I haven't seen any deception in the Flex products commercials like I do with other commercials that edits. The plate under the pillow test with bowling ball dropping I don't believe at all because these commercials have been carefully edited as to not showed how many times the plate test failed.

@jjwalkervivat6110 6 лет назад

Being an old weight lifter, I wouldn't be surprised if simple duct tape would lift the weight, any super strong tape should be able to lift that weight, probably double that. The key is NOT a permanent fix, for you novice plumbers. Now, I'm going to go outside and look for my water leak under the house, it's about 20 degrees cold for Texas, but when I get under there and find the problem I'm going to get the right pipe fittings, etc. and fix it while I'm jackin' with it. Flex Tape looks like a good buy in case of emergency!

@dyl4nftp 6 лет назад

how the hell is a desert like texas getting lows of 20 degrees while here in shitty cali the lowest is 50 you're lucky man i wish i could live there not this hellhole

@Guardducks 6 лет назад

That is it's intended purpose temp only

@rossmennie4903 6 лет назад

jjwalkervivat I agree with you, and that comes from an applied science background.

@tomswinburn1778 5 лет назад

jj, Have you used the cloth duct tape? That stuff is WICKED strong. The bonding agent wouldn't work like the flex tape does, but if you were to dry the repair thoroughly after applying the flex tape and cover the repair with cloth duct tape I'd bet it would be a permanent fix. A friend of mine has family in a South American country and after introducing cloth duct tape there he has a standing order for as much as he can get there. Mail doesn't work as it's stolen. And a limited amount is allowed in on your person. I'd BET that flex tape would be the same. GOLD in those countries. It's amazing what we take for granted here. And just flat can't be had in some places.

@scrooem 7 лет назад

have an above ground 48" x 14' diameter pool with two small holes at the seem on the bottom most of the water leaked out last night was able to purchase the 4" roll and some white spray.....the liner is 4 years old, second liner with this frame, a new liner will cost $299... spent $75 will line the seam with the tape and just coat the bottom and see....

@doug995. 5 лет назад

None of those examples had any water pressure on them, would like to see it seal a water pipe with at least 50 to 60 PSI in it.

@Mike-ji8ez 7 лет назад

I have used flex tape on a broken pipe. Fixed in one second.

@MikeJohnson-wz5ym 7 лет назад

This looks like what I need to seal the joints in some Polycarbonate panels on our deck. The contractor put some silver tape down on the joints but after about 6 months the tape started leaking do to the temps in Texas.

NO LEAK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the Flex Tape did the trick. now I going to take it KAYAKing in the BACK BAY Newport Beach saltwater see if it holds,

The tape don't hold under heat or should hot day I this tape for tarp repair under hot days the glue softens and the tape peels right off

In the commercial they used putty to hold the tape in place if you watch their commercial carefully and thoroughly.

my cars over 30 years old and ive been looking for a solution to fix my door seals without spending a stupid amount of money to fix and it looks like i might just try something like flex tape to make a seal. the doors only leak air and water at the tops of the doors so just tape acrost the top and another piece on the other side should keep water out for the most part

Does it work on a plastic bath tub

@AquaTech225 6 лет назад

Except his hose pipe fix. Had a fraction of pressure on the seal. I would of been more impressed if it was sealed an the valve letting water flow was turned off to actually have some pressure on it. Who’s going to seal their supply line of any kind. Than leave the water flowing out may as well let the shit just leak
