Flex Seal

[Rocksprings]

Any one use this spray on sealant stuff ? Its not cheap but does it work//How long does it last etc ?

I haven't used Flex Seal, but I have used liquid electrical tape. I use it to coat connections before direct burial. Of course, I use shrink tubing too. One connection has been in service for 5 years with no problem.

If it were exposed to sunlight, I don't think it would last over a year, maybe two at most.

Permatex (a product that I trust) has Spray & Seal which is also a rubber spray sealant for about $9/can. I haven't done a real time comparison.

You'd probably get the same results w/rubberized undercoating.

Looks good and sure it lasts like the commercial says, but i have my doubts about how long.

You are talking about the stuff on tv where they cut out the bottom of a Jon boat and replace it with a screen door and then spray that rubber tar like spray on it to reseal it, right?

I would think its like that roofing tar, works great then dries out and recracks. Like the stuff i used on my old leaky boots on my roof before replacement. I seemed to get 6 months out of it then in the summer heat it pulled away from the pipe, no matter how thin or thick i made it?

I think Flex seal the same stuff. Just different label

Interesting commercial, but as you guys have pointed out, probably many products to accomplish the same thing. The novelty to me would be the ease of the spray application.

My friends father bought some and besides ripping him off on the s+h the nozzles clogged up quickly. Commercials are entertaining but I am a graduate of the school "If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't."

Thanks for the replies guys, Personally I don't think it will last over one year in this South Texas heat. And ya, the S&H is about $10.00 on the web sight I was looking at. I'll pass on this stuff or wait until Wally World carries it. LOL
You probably have to use the entire can on one job so the nozzle don't clog up.

Just like that Great stuff foam. Its not that much but is only a one use can! The nozzel clogs up as does the can. I have successufully only use a can more than once, Once!

WOW, Thanks Dusty 74, The Internet has pages and pages of where people were ripped off when using their credit cards buying flex seal. Thanks for the warning. Got to wonder why the Attorney General has not stepped in.

I know this is an old thread, but if anyone still has a burning desire to try this stuff, it being carried by Walgreens. I spotted it today in the area where they push the stuff seen on TV. $10 a can.

Flex seal is just a modified undercoating. Many brands out there for cheaper that will do the same thing.
