Flex Tape Reviews

I had two skylights leaking. After having flashing fixed and it still leaked, I had Fex Seals around every edge and then some. It still leaked even worse.

I got new leakproof skylights installed. That solved my problem.

My pool had a leak, so I went out and bought some of this tape to stop my leak. Well, guess what? I am laughing my buns off because it doesn't work at all. Will I ever buy it again? No, I won't, it's a joke.

It would not stop a small simple water leak, which had no pressure behind it. Don't waste your money on this scam. BBB should shut them down, or if they continue to sell a scam, start making this company pay back the consumers.

My son, who occupies my carpeted finished basement, awoke one morning to find water seeping through! We had recently had a heavy rainstorm, and I assumed that the sump pump had overflowed or failed. After having a similar, costly, catastrophe a couple of years prior, my home owner's insurance was eventually canceled. So as not to infuriate my present insurance company, off I go to home Home Depot to purchase a wet vac and a portable pump. My sump pump was covered under my home appliance insurance. The wet vac and the portable pump did not do the job! Water continued to seep from somewhere. So, off I go to Home Depot, again, to rent two blower fans and a dehumidifier. This still did not do the job!

I, finally, gave in and called the insurance company. I hired a water removal contractor and with all of his tools (pumps, etc.), the water kept coming! To make a long story short, we finally found a pinhole leak in a 3/4" water pipe, in the ceiling, behind the outside wall in the boiler room.

After calling the plumber, I turn off the water and went to Walmart to purchase Flex Tape, for a temporary fix so that we could have running water, until his arrival the next morning. What a waste of time! I worked for over an hour trying to get that tape to work on a pinhole in the pipe! The Flex Tape manufacturer embarrassed me in front of my son, who laughed his head off and continuously told me it wasn't going to work. I finally conceded that he was right! Flex Tape is a "total hoax!"

I used the spray as instruction on my gutters, and it was a total waste of time and money. I tried everything to try to stop a leaking gutter, nothing worked, so I decided to give the Flex Seal a try, and boy was that a sure waste of time. I do not know how they can keep advertising this useless product.

I used this for the first time on my above ground pool. I was pretty skeptical, and it definitely didn't stick as cleanly as they show on TV, but after a little work to make sure it would stay in place, it actually held the tear and did not leak. It was in place for about a year and I finally had to replace my liner, but it was applied underwater, stuck and held. I wouldn't say it functioned exactly and as easily as they would lead you to believe, but since it actually worked in my application, I give it a pretty good. The recommendation is only if you assume, like any other product that there is some risk that it really won't function well for the application. Would I use it to plug a leak on a water pipe? Probably not. Would I use it on something like a gutter? Yes.

Doesn't stick underwater, doesn't seal pipes. I bought two different roles. Post-it stickers hold better than this crap.

On my way to work, my tire pressure light came on. I stopped at a gas station to check the pressure of my tires. When I got to the rear tire, I found a screw embedded in the tire. I didn’t have time to go to the tire store, so I put a piece of the Flex Tape over the screw head and aired up the tire. The pressure stayed good for a week! I would definitely recommend this tape to everyone! Thank you for a great product!

The TV ads looked authentic. I thought the product should be reasonable for my needs. I tried three different applications. For each, the tape rolled up from the sides almost immediately, leaving a residue which is almost impossible to remove and it stays sticky. Beware, save your money.

In the commercial they show cutting an aluminum boat in half with a grinder throwing sparks, aluminum does not spark, so that should be your first clue. Then they glue a dune buggy together and it's supposed to hold. I have a tubular frame dune buggy with wire welds and they still break occasionally. I would hate to go to Silver Lake with a glued up frame and try to compete. It's just another scam that's out there trying to get your hard-earned money, thinking they got the best product in the world. If you want to seal leaks, use tar!

I bought Flex Tape at Home Depot yesterday. I read all the instructions and followed them closely. I bought it to fix a small hole in my garden hose. Now water spurts out both sides of the tape. Plus, the scissors I used to cut the tape with are now useless! So, if you still want to try this tape, don't use a good knife or scissors. I wish I had read the reviews before I bought this product. Flex Tape is nothing but a waste of your time and money!
