Overview
Flex Tape comes in three handy sizes. It is supposed to be super easy to use. You just cut the size of the piece you need and stick it over the leak.
The Claim
The promoters of Flex Tape are making some pretty bold claims. They are saying that Flex Tape works in almost every situation where a leak needs to be fixed. They even show it being used in a fish tank that is still filled with water. Then for those that saw the advertisement on TV it shows a boat being cut in half then joined together with Flex Tape. With no leaks being evident when the boat was tested in the water.
The Hype
If Flex Tape really lives up to all that it is touted as being able to do, then it really revolutionizes the way that leaks can be addressed. The real bonus is being able to fix pools, spas and yes even fish tanks without having to drain the water. For those who are not very handy having a quick fix like this is going to be super beneficial.
The Cost
Flex Tape comes in three different sizes. 4” x 5′ $19.99 or Jumbo 8” x 5′ $29.99, and then there is Giant which is
12” x 10′ $49.99. To these prices, you need to add the shipping costs of $9.99 shipping PLUS $9.99 processing. Included in your order you will have a choice of a tin of Flex Seal or Flex Shot or a can of Flex Seal Liquid.
The Commitment
It looks like it is not going to take too much of an effort to use the Flex Tape. It will just be a matter of identifying the leak then applying the tape.
Evaluation
When some of the other flex products hit the market there was a lot of fuss made over them as they were heavily marketed. One concern is, have they flood the market with these other Flex products so they are just taking a new approach. Or, is Flex Tape a step up in improvements over the other products. Meaning that its a much easier process to apply the tape rather than go through the steps needed for the other products. The Flex Tape is still so new on the market that it hasn’t really gotten any feedback as yet.
We are leaning towards giving the Flex Tape a strong Try/Buy. The feedback on the other
Flex products are mixed, with more seeming to like than not. For those who don’t have a handy person around the house to fix a leak, then have a roll of Flex Tape on hand may be really beneficial. One thing that is not impressive is the cost of the product is rather hefty but even more so when you add the shipping cost on. THEN the processing fees. This really does take the price way up to the point where maybe the question should be asked is it really worth it.Our Recommendation

I bought it to seal a small hole in my hose..it leaked like crazy and I used the whole roll! Don’t waste you money! :(
i was fixing a fish aquarium inside and out. sorry i was bumd and did it with tne whole rool and then my dumb ass. went out and there flex with the same thing happing again wast of alot of money.
This product is complete garbage. It seems sticky when you unroll it, but it wouldn't stay stuck to pvc pipe. First we tried it when it was leaking, given all of the claims that it works in wet conditions. then when it wouldn't stick, we waited for a dry day but it still wouldn't stick well enough to stop a leak. Complete waste of money and it is clear this company pays for its 5 star reviews. We used up the entire roll trying to make it work and ended up throwing it all away. For the 20$ we spent I will get my money's worth by posting this honest review on every site that sells this trash. ZERO stars.
Its garbage tried multiple times
Tried putting this tape on a pipe that was slowly leaking. The stuff barely stayed on, and didn't remotely stop the leak. Junk, especially for the price.
THIS THING DOES NOT STICK ON WET SURFACE. A USED NAPKIN HOLDS BETTER THAN THIS TAPE
I vote 1 star. It records 2 stars. Even this rating site is bogus. It ruined the item I put it on. It kept slipping and leaves an impossible to remove adhesive. I had to recover my item.
This stuff is a rich man's gold mine, and a poor man's worst fear. Tried it over and over again, did not stop a simple little pin hole in a pipe. Cleaned and dried the area with alcohol, needless to say it does not hold up. The video salesman is a crook, and the puppet of the maker of this junk. I didn't see anything giving a full refund, to ALL unhappy and dis-satisfied customers. Fooled me once, can't get me twice.
Horrible stuff. Not only expensive but is NOT waterproof and does not adhere to anything moist let alone wet. I agree it's crap.
Wont let me leave only 1 star above. Goes automatically to 2.75. More crap. 1 star is even too many.
Tried to stop Small leak on pipe leading to my water filter....still leaks...tape wouldn't adhere to wet pipe...Waste of 12 bucks
