I bought a 16oz can that you brush on. It worked OK but it would have been way easier to have just bought a spray can of vehicle undercoating. Maybe the spray Flex-Seal would have been better for the job.

I used it to repair the chips in the spray on bedliner on my pickup.

I used Flex-Seal to repair the roof of our Florida room (used to be a lanai or screened-in porch). Flat roof. It has held up against heavy afternoon Florida downpours and hurricane Ian with no leaks, knock on wood!

The spray won't stop an active drip/leak. You need to wait for it to dry first. Also, I've found that the tape won't stop an active leak either. But it will stick to your hands like crazy. Also, if you use the spray, be sure the room is well ventilated and that you won't have to be in there until the smell dissipates.

I've used the spray on some older gutter joints. Worked just fine.

Only seems to work best if you replace the hull with a screen door.

Admittedly, been watching these commercials for what feels like 20+ years and never known anyone that used it. This is interesting.

I used to buy some really gnarly wood stain remover. Use only outside type stuff. They stopped selling it when people were using it wrong. One story I read was a guy used it in an industrial meat refrigerator and died from inhaling fumes. The new stuff just doesn't work the same.

Don't bother to try using the spray version outside in near freezing temps. Had a minor leak between the Chimney and the roof last winter and attempted a temporary fix before getting a professional in.

Soon as the aerosol hit the cold air, the whole can just clogged right up. I probably should have known that going in, but just a word of warning, depending on what you're using it for.

With a previous house I was able to repair some leaky skylights when using in the right conditions. Didn't own that house very long after, so not sure for how long those repairs actually held up for. I also think I used it in combination with some roofing caulk, so wasn't depending on only the Flex-Seal for that fix.

Just beware they might mistake it for a yacht and try to impound it and sell it

Haven’t used the stuff yet, but I’ll try using it to patch up a mouse hole in the garage. The mice will either eat thru the stuff or just make a new hole someplace else.

Fill the hole with steel wool and then paint over that. Then they will have to make a new hole someplace else.

I've found that stuffing copper coated scrub pads in voids in our siding that mice were using to get up into our attic have been effective so far. Sometimes will use a liquid foaming agent to keep then in place.

We have used it at my job….used it repairing damaged plastic A/C evaporator pans. We typically use the spray on after applying a fiberglass repair to catch anything missed.

The tape has a number of uses…. It is EXTREMELY sticky and one must be careful or it sticks and doesn’t come off. Once in place, it’s good.

Overall I would give it a + rating but for the $ I prefer to repair things properly.

I have a spray can that I am going to use as a rust preventative to coat some padlock shackles for outdoor use. No idea how it will wear sprayed onto chrome.
