Flex Seal
reviews and complaints

So, I was watching TV the other day and saw this ad for Flex Seal. They were offering a deal where you could get a can for $19.99 and a second can for free, just pay shipping and handling. I thought, "Hey, that sounds like a pretty good deal!" So, I went ahead and placed an order.

But then, just before my card was charged, the website asked me if I wanted to upgrade to bigger cans for an additional $4.95. I thought about it for a minute and decided to go for it. I mean, who doesn't want more bang for their buck, right?

Well, it turns out that those bigger cans really added up. By my calculations, my total bill should have been $29.89. But when I checked my credit card statement, I was shocked to see that I had been charged $99.74! That's almost four times what I was expecting to pay!

To make matters worse, the shipping cost was outrageous. I mean, $39.80 for two cans? That's just ridiculous! I could have shipped a whole box of stuff for that price.

And here's the real kicker: if the product doesn't work, they'll give you $60.00 back. But they won't refund the $40.00 in shipping. That's just not right.

I don't know about you, but I don't like feeling like I've been taken advantage of. So, I canceled my credit card and vowed never to do business with Flex Seal again.

Me and my daughter had a bit of a problem with some minor leaks in the PVC pipe close to the pump. We decided to give Flex Seal a try and see if it could fix the issue. We sprayed the product on the leaks, one on the exit pipe and the other on the suction side. We made sure to turn off the pump and let the area dry before applying the spray. We left the pump off for 30 hours to give the product time to work its magic.

After 30 hours, we turned the pump back on and were disappointed to find that the Flex Seal did not work at all. We were still left with two very minor leaks. We decided to give it another go and repeated the entire process, but still no change. We were left with no choice but to replace the PVC pipe.

I have to say, I was very disappointed with the product. I feel like it's a complete waste of money and I would never buy any type of Flex products again. I think the government should do something about this company and their false advertising. I mean, come on, they claim to fix leaks and it didn't even work for us.

I'm now going to check if consumer reports have ever tested any of this company's products. I would rate this product 0 if that was possible. It's just a complete waste of time and money.

So, I had a big problem with my pool. There was a tear in it and I didn't know what to do. Then, I remembered seeing a commercial for Flex Seal. They claimed that they built a boat out of it and it didn't sink. I thought, "Wow, if it can do that, it can definitely fix my pool!" Boy, was I wrong.

I bought the product and tried to put a patch on both sides of the pool. But, it didn't even stick! It was definitely not waterproof. I wasted my time, money, and effort on this product. I was so disappointed that I called the company to let them know. But, instead of helping me, they started giving me excuses and telling me that I was doing it wrong. I mean, come on! How hard is it to stick a piece of tape over a hole to cover it?

I didn't even bother trying to get my money back. First of all, they said they would refund me minus the shipping cost. And secondly, everyone is saying that they are waiting and waiting for their refunds. It's just not worth it for me. I can get a headache somewhere else. The product alone was crap enough and the customer service wasn't much better.

Overall, I was extremely disappointed with Flex Seal. The commercial was a complete lie and the product didn't work at all. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Save your money and find a different solution to your problem.

So, I had a problem with my water heater at home. I had to replace the expansion tank and the steel pipes. But, one of the connections required an elbow that just wouldn't seal using teflon tape. It was a simple drip, but it was annoying. I didn't want to have to remove the entire pipe connection, so I decided to give Flex Seal a try. I turned off the water pressure, dried the pipe, and applied a layer of Flex Seal. I waited two hours for it to dry and turned on the water pressure. But, Flex Seal failed. It didn't improve the situation at all. I was really disappointed. I tried it two more times, but got the same failed results. It just didn't work for me.

I ended up having to remove the entire pipe and replace the leaky elbow. And, guess what? It sealed up on its own with no Flex Seal. I was pretty frustrated with the whole situation. I contacted Flex Seal support for advice, but all they said was, "Return it to the store for a refund." No apology, no discount, no credit, no exchange, nothing! I was really disappointed with their customer service.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this expensive and overrated product. It just didn't work for me and the customer service was lacking. Save your money and try something else.

So, we decided to give Flex Seal a try to fix our above ground swimming pool. We ordered 8 spray cans from getflexseal.com and got to work. We coated the seams and bottom of the pool several times, waiting a day between each coat to let it cure. After two weeks, the pool was still tacky, but we were told that was normal.

We filled the pool and let the kids loose, but that's when the problems started. Every time they got out, their feet were coated in Flex Seal, which made a huge mess. We didn't realize what was happening at first, and the carpet from the back door to the bathroom was ruined. We tried to clean it up, but we couldn't get the Flex Seal out.

It also took me two hours to scrub the shower floor because the Flex Seal transferred so easily from the bottom of their feet to any other surface. It was incredibly difficult to remove from their feet, too. We were so disappointed that the pool still leaked, and we felt like we had wasted our money on a product that was going to cost us thousands more in clean up and repair.

Overall, we wouldn't recommend Flex Seal to anyone. It was a complete waste of money, and we regret using it. We hope that others can learn from our mistake and avoid the same problems we had.

I gotta tell ya, I been usin' Flex Seal for over a year now and it's been a lifesaver for me and my house. I had a PVC pipe under my kitchen sink that was just a few centimeters too short to connect where it needed to go. I crawled under the floor into the craw space and slapped some Flex Seal on it. I was skeptical at first, but it actually worked! It's been a whole year and that pipe ain't leaked once. I didn't have the extra cash to pay a plumber to fix it, so Flex Seal saved me a ton of money.

Another time, I cut off a gutter on my house 'cause I was gonna remove the whole thing. But then it rained for a whole day and I changed my mind. I used some Flex Seal liquid in a can to reattach the end of the gutter and it's still up there a year later! I can't believe it myself, but it's true.

But my favorite Flex Seal product is the Flex Shot in a can. I got a small can of it and I've used it at least 4 different times on different projects around the house. I never been able to do that with any other similar product 'cause they dry up and ya can't use 'em again. But this Flex Shot, I've had it for a whole year now and it works just as great as the day I bought it. I keep it in my house so it doesn't get too cold in the can.

Overall, Flex Seal is an awesome product that's saved me a ton of money on home repairs. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to fix something around the house. It's easy to use and it actually works!

I was really excited to try out Flex Seal Paste, so I ordered two 6lb containers from their website. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything larger than 1lb containers locally. I had some work crews scheduled to come in and do some work, but I had to delay the Flex Seal application I had planned to do before they arrived. Unfortunately, this caused me to lose my spot in the crews' schedule because the product had not even been shipped yet.

After waiting several weeks for the paste to arrive, I contacted Flex Seal Customer Service to see what was going on. They told me that the shipping label had been printed, but the product had not been shipped yet. I was really frustrated at this point, but I decided to wait a little longer to see if the product would arrive soon.

A few days later, I received an email from Fed Ex with my order tracking number. I was relieved to finally have some information about my order, so I went into Fed Ex to see where the shipment was. However, Fed Ex indicated that Flex Seal had not shipped the material yet and that I needed to contact them.

So, I contacted Flex Seal Customer Service again, almost three weeks after I had placed my initial order. They told me once again that the label had been printed for the shipment, but the order had not been shipped. At this point, I was really frustrated and decided to cancel my order. I will never buy another Flex Seal product again.

In my opinion, Flex Seal is a racket and should not be in business. I ended up ordering a different material from another manufacturer, from whom I should have ordered in the first place. Overall, I would not recommend Flex Seal to anyone.

I tried out this spray called Flex Seal on the inside of a wooden bowl that I wanted to use as a planter for some hens and chicks. I waited a good 3-4 days to make sure it was dry before I added soil and plants. But, within just 1-2 weeks, the dirt and plants were covered in this weird white and grey fuzzy powdery stuff called mildew. I was really confused because I didn't water the plants much at all, but the mildew still covered everything and the plants started turning black and dying. I had to throw everything out and start over. I even have some pictures of the mildew on the bowl if you want to see them.

Later on, I decided to try out this liquid rubber stuff from Flex Seal before I spent $90 on a whole gallon of it. I wanted to use it to waterproof the roof of a doghouse that I was building out of plywood. I even called the company to make sure it would work and they said it would and that it wouldn't mildew like the spray did. So, I tried it out on a scrap piece of plywood and waited the recommended 48 hours for it to cure. But, when I tested it with my finger and fingernail, the thinner areas just rolled right off the wood and the thicker areas were easily scratched off.

I'm not really sure what other people might use these products for, but I would definitely recommend testing them out first before you use them on any big projects. Both of these products were a total waste of money for me and my projects. I hope this review helps anyone who's thinking about using them for something similar.

I recently got my hands on a 1 lb jar of Flex Paste from getflexseal.com. I was hoping to use it to cover some small areas in my pool and also to try it on some areas of my pool tile where the grout was breaking away. At first, the product seemed to work fine, but I soon ran into some issues.

The biggest problem I had was with how they told you to seal the jar back up when you're done using it. I followed all the instructions very carefully and made sure the foil barrier was tightly in place. But when I went to use it again 3 days later, the top layer of the paste had started to get hard. I had to remove the top layer to get to some soft product to use. I followed the instructions again to tightly seal up the jar, but 4 days later, I noticed that the area where I had covered under water in the pool started to turn into a powder and rubbed off. When I went to the jar to try to re-apply the paste to that area, all of the product had hardened. Over 80% of the product was wasted. What a rip off!

I was really disappointed because the ads on TV make it look like such a great product, but the paste product definitely has its issues. They say on TV that it works for all sorts of things, but I found that it just didn't hold up under water. So I went looking for something else and found a 2 part putty that is easy to use and each part stays good in its own container. I haven't had any issues since I switched to using the 2 part putty product, even under water.

Overall, I would not recommend Flex Paste from getflexseal.com. It's just not worth the money if you're looking for something that will hold up under water. Save yourself the hassle and try something else.

I recently purchased a 3lb. tub of Flex Seal paste from my local Ace Hardware store in Northern California, about 10 days before Christmas. The cost was $30 bucks, which is a bit pricey, but I was willing to pay for quality and good results. The product worked beautifully and as advertised, but I was disappointed with how much waste was involved due to the packaging. There was more material already cured than I felt was acceptable, and I knew it was fresh inventory as my Ace had only taken it on a month earlier. Despite the foil and desiccant pouch, there was a lot of skin ring on top of the paste.

I contacted Flex Seal via their website to compliment them on the product but complain about the amount of waste involved. I wasn't asking for or expecting anything, I just wanted to let them know. To my surprise, Flex Seal's response was fantastic. They offered to send me another tub of paste or a cost equivalent amount of any of their other products that I might like to try. All thanks to Stephen, who was incredibly helpful and responsive to my emails.

All they wanted was for me to email them a picture of my receipt, which was more than reasonable. However, for some reason, after multiple attempts, the email kept being returned to sender. Despite this, Stephen still followed through, and the company mailed me three large cans of Flex Spray at no charge. All of this took place in under a week, which is impressive, especially considering it was during the run-up to Covid Christmas.

I have to say that Flex Seal is an excellent company that stands behind their products 100%. Stephen was exceptional, and his response time to all emails was literally within the hour. You could not ask for more in terms of product support and customer service.

On a side note, I also bought a Two Pack of Clear Flex Shot off their store front on Amazon, and it has to be the best 100% silicone product I have ever used. I was a mechanic for 40+ years, and I've used them all, including home products. It kicks the crap out of G. E. and Loctite, etc. It goes on well, smooths easily, has good working time, and levels quite nicely during the cure. I highly recommend both the company and their products.

I bought flexseal tape for my RV for the interior, and I am very dissatisfied. The tape is not sticking at all. It is partially sticking, but not completely sticking. I made sure that the area was completely cleaned, dried and ready, and I am very disappointed with this product. I will have to find an alterior solution to fix my problem. I will be replacing my skylight in my tv in spring, but for winter I harped my whole camper and flex taping around my skylight. There is no moisture or water and still it will not stick.

We purchased and used the Flex Seal on our camper roof as it was supposed to be best for sealing around the vents on the top of our camper. We noticed water in the bathroom and could not find the source until today our son climbed on a ladder to the area where the water was coming into the camper around the vent. Now the ceiling is ruined in the inside of our camper. Yesterday we went to our local Builders Center and purchased another type of sealant to seal the areas we used the Flex Seal on. My son had to remove the Flex Seal and hes using the new sealer to at least stop the water from coming in. The Flex seal peeled right off it did not adhere to the roof of the camper. This is false advertising as in your ads you supposedly can use this stuff and it does not leak.

So, I decided to give Flex Seal a try for my pool. I got the mini size and was excited to patch up some leaks. However, when I tried to use it, the patch didn't stick. I was disappointed, but I thought maybe I did something wrong. So, I decided to try the glue that came with it. But, when I opened it, it was hard and wouldn't come out. I was frustrated and didn't know what to do.

I decided to email the company and see if they could help me out. I sent them pictures of the packaging and the product, hoping they could see what was wrong. After a few emails back and forth with a guy named Stephen, he finally said he couldn't help me and that I had to take it back to the store. I was upset because I work long hours and don't have time to go back and forth to the store. I thought maybe they could just send me a coupon or a replacement, but they didn't seem interested in correcting the issue.

Overall, I was disappointed with my experience with Flex Seal. I don't think they wanted to help me and I felt like they were just expecting me to go away. I wish they could have been more helpful and understanding. Thanks for nothing, Stephen.

I recently gave Flex Seal a try to fix a couple of small cracks in my basement wall. I was hoping for a quick and easy solution, but unfortunately, it didn't work out as planned. I ended up using 3 to 4 cans of the spray just to achieve a buildup of 1/16". That's a lot of cans and it definitely added up in cost.

After the coating cured, I noticed that it was very brittle and not flexible at all. This was a big disappointment because I was hoping for a long-lasting solution. Additionally, the smell was overwhelming and lingered in my basement for days, even after I tried ventilating with windows and fans.

To make matters worse, the Flex Seal didn't even seal the cracks properly. It cracked badly and I had to chisel it off the wall. I was extremely frustrated and disappointed with the product.

I definitely would not recommend anyone to use this stuff! It's totally worthless and the smell is unbearable. Don't fall into the trap like I did. Instead, I recommend using a fibered roofing cement. It worked much better for me and was a lot less expensive.

Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience with Flex Seal. It's important to be cautious when trying out new products, especially those that seem too good to be true.

I recently gave Flex Seal a try on my eavestrough downspout, which had been leaking at the joints. The temperature outside was around 15 degrees Celsius or 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and I was hopeful that this product would do the trick. At first, the tape seemed to stick really well, which gave me some hope that it would hold up over time.

However, just two days later, I noticed that the tape was starting to unwind at each point where I had wrapped it around the downspouts. Even worse, it fell right off at points where I had attached it underneath. I was really disappointed to see this happen, especially since there had been no precipitation during those two days. I had hoped that Flex Seal would be able to withstand the elements and keep my downspout leak-free, but it just didn't seem to hold up.

I reached out to the manufacturer both through Amazon and their website to describe what had happened and ask for a refund. Unfortunately, I received no reply at all, which left me feeling even more frustrated. I had spent over $30 on just 10 feet of this tape, and it didn't even work as advertised. It's really disappointing to see a bad product paired with bad customer service, and I wouldn't recommend Flex Seal to anyone looking for a reliable solution to their leak problems.

Yo, so I heard a lot of people talking about this Flex Seal stuff and I was curious to try it out. But dang, the price on their website is crazy high! I mean, I ain't trying to spend all my hard-earned cash on just one can of this stuff, let alone two or six cans like some people are saying they got.

But hey, if anyone out there got some extra cans they don't need, hit me up! I'll gladly pay $10 for one can, no problem. I ain't trying to scam nobody or nothing, I just think the price on the website is way too steep. And don't even get me started on the shipping and handling fees, like come on now.

Anyway, I'm still interested in trying out this Flex Seal stuff, so if anyone out there wants to sell me a can or two, let me know. And if you got your money back from the website and still got some cans left over, I'm your guy. Let's make a deal and get this stuff in my hands!

I recently purchased Flex Seal to fix a pesky crack in my RV roof. However, before I could even get to that task, I noticed a drip in my grey water tank. I thought Flex Seal would be the perfect solution, so I opened the tub and applied a generous amount of paste. Unfortunately, the product did not stop the drip at all. I was disappointed and frustrated, so I decided to reach out to the company for assistance.

To my surprise, the company requested a lot of information from me, including the time, date, temperature, before and after pictures, a video, and copies of the receipt. I found this to be a bit excessive and unnecessary, so I expressed my frustration to them. They responded by offering me a refund if I provided pictures of the tub and the receipt.

Fast forward to today, when I finally had the chance to use Flex Seal on the crack in my RV roof. I opened the tub and found that the product had hardened into a rock-like substance. I had even replaced their plastic insert and sealed the tub tight, but it still didn't prevent the product from hardening.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Flex Seal and believe that the FTC should take action against this company. I am considering joining a lawsuit against them and would welcome anyone who wants to join me. Overall, I would not recommend this product to anyone.

I recently tried out Flex Seal silicone to patch up a temporary spot on my basement floor. I was hoping to hold off on getting it fixed properly until I had the time and resources to do so. Unfortunately, as you can see in the pictures, the product did not work as advertised. It leaked right through the patch and did not adhere to the wet surface like they claimed it would. I even made sure to dry the area as best as I could before applying it, but it was still a complete failure.

To make matters worse, I also tried their tape and that was a complete joke as well. I will never buy any of their products again and will advise others not to waste their money on this scam. It's ridiculous that they are able to get away with selling such a useless product and taking advantage of hardworking people like myself. I work hard every day just to make ends meet and it's frustrating to be scammed out of my hard-earned money.

Overall, I would not recommend Flex Seal to anyone. It's a complete waste of money and time. Save yourself the hassle and invest in a more reliable product.

I recently tried out the Flex Seal spray on the corner joints of my aluminum eavetrough. I made sure to clean and degrease the area with acetone before spraying the outside. However, to my dismay, it still leaked. I decided to give it another shot and sprayed the inside this time. It did last for about three rainstorms, but that's about it. I have to say, it did work, but not for long enough to justify the cost of $16.00 CDN per can or the time it takes to remove it so it can be repaired properly.

Although it looks and sounds good, I found it almost useless. I wouldn't even think about riding in a boat sealed with Flex Seal without a good life jacket on. I haven't tried the liquid or the tape yet, but I've heard that plumbers love the stuff because now they can charge $75.00 dollars an hour to remove it and repair it correctly. It's kind of like Alien tape - it works well in space, but not on Earth (gravity).

Overall, I wouldn't recommend Flex Seal for long-term solutions. It may work for a short period of time, but it's not worth the cost or hassle in the long run. If you're looking for a quick fix, it might do the trick, but don't expect it to last forever.

I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed with my purchase of Flex Seal. I didn't bother reading any reviews before I bought the spray and tape, and boy do I regret it now. Both products were a total letdown and didn't even come close to meeting my expectations. And it seems like I'm not the only one who feels this way - I've read a bunch of comments from other people who think this stuff is just plain junk.

I decided to try using Flex Seal on my wood shop roof to stop some leaks. Now, I'm no stranger to working with wood - I've got all kinds of fancy, expensive machines for milling and custom woodworking. But let me tell you, this product was a disaster. I ended up losing around $4000 worth of exotic woods because of it, not to mention my tools got all wet and started rusting. And the finishing process was just all messed up.

Honestly, I think it's time for an attorney to get involved here. I'm not the only one who's been screwed over by this stuff - there should be a class action lawsuit against Flex Seal. It's just not right that they can keep selling this garbage and getting away with it.

I gotta give this product two stars, cuz it worked for me, but dang, the container was all messed up. I bought it back in September 2020 for a little job I had to do, and only used a teensy bit of the stuff. But then, just the other day in March 2021, I went to grab it off my workshop shelf, where I keep all my other stuff, and it was like a dang volcano had erupted in there! The can was all busted up and the Flex Seal was everywhere.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm happy with how the product worked. It held up real good in the hot Arizona sun for like six months now. But I'm pretty ticked off that I wasted my money on a can that didn't even last that long. I mean, I only used a little bit, so it was pretty expensive for what I got out of it. And now the rest of the product is just gonna go in the trash.

I'm hoping that Amazon or Flex Steel will do the right thing and replace the busted can for me. I'll keep y'all updated on what happens.

So, I wanted to share my experience with Flex Seal. I bought four containers of it and unfortunately, I had some issues with it. I tried to get a refund, but they asked for a receipt which I didn't have. However, I did have a bank statement that showed the purchase of $107 for Flex Seal. But they didn't believe me and said they had no knowledge of my purchase. I was really disappointed because I thought they would stand behind their product.

I don't understand why they wouldn't believe me, especially if they claim to have such a good product. It's frustrating because I spent a lot of money on it and now I'm stuck with it. I wouldn't recommend buying it again, especially if you're not sure if you'll like it or not.

I just want to make it clear that I do have proof of purchase, but they didn't accept it. It's a shame because I was really excited to try it out and see if it would work for me. But now, I'm just disappointed and frustrated.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend buying Flex Seal. It's not worth the hassle and the customer service wasn't helpful at all. I hope this review helps others who are considering buying it.

I bought flex seal tape to use on an outdoor hose that got a slit in the hose. I put it on as in directions and ended up using several pieces and all it did was divert the water out like a sprinkler. I was very disappointed in the fact I spent $15 dollars and still have same problem. Im hoping that my writing to you will hopefully be opened and listened to, as I have used the flex seal spray paint with success in my basement. I only would like refunded because I feel its the appropriate thing to do.

During the night of June 1st, 2023, a can of Flex Seal exploded in my air conditioned laundry room. It is on my wall and dripped down the wall unto my new floor. I had to throw out several products, as they were covered in it.

not to mention the cleanup effort and the need to sand and paint my wall.

I am still working on the cleanup of the incident.

First I bought 2 rolls of flex seal tape for the hole in my pool I applied the tape and it did not want to stick and hold to the pool. So I go buy the flex paste and apply it give it enough time to set an cure, then I started filling up the pool and it started barely dripping out and then it just started gushing out. I'm very unsatisfied customer, and would like a refund. I won't be using no more

I have bought 4 tubs at 25.oo and they have all cured all the way around the tub! I sealed my trailer and still leaks and just peals off. So mad I spent this kind of money and all the work for nothing!

Bought these at Walmart and bought every one they had. I have included numbers, codes on the tubs along with my receipts.

My pipe connect water to the toilet had a pin hole in the pipe. I figure instead of paying for a new pipe. I'll try out this flex tape product I hear about. So I get myself down To the hardware and pay for some. Take it home. And to my dismay. This product would not stick to a dry course(sanded Smooth all around pipe. I put some flex tape in it. Enough to cover the hole. ( had to do it four times.) Each time the tape failed to stay on the pipe.. if it stayed OK. The water kept seeping I Der the tape. A: day went by. The leak was worse at this point. I put a pipe cap over the the gHole and over each side. To hole to secure tapeç as tight as I could

I also but one on Each end of the tape

Sure enough water kept find it's way.

The next day I wake up and the tap was hanging.

I stopped using the flex tape. I took a copper pipe cut a small square. Used elec tape Covered the hole and folded the copper wrapped it up more ele tape and secured with the pipe. Clamps..

Pipe fixed...

I'd like af full refund. For that flex tale.

I bought Flex paste from lowes on 3/23/2023 to seal a small hole,I made sure it was dry and clean applied the paste over the hole, I waited a day and a half about 36 hours then turn the water back on and it still leaks. Started leaking as soon as the water got to hole I'm not happy at all I spend about 20 bucks on Flex paste that didn't work. Bought at lowes in athens al.

Bought the spray for small water leaks in the basement. Came out too watery & would run down the wall. Used whole can with little actually going where I needed it. Then I bought the paste. About 25% of it has already cured & hardened when first opened. Would not stick very well to the slightly damp wall. Just would stick to the trowel, itself, or you. Would ball up & not spread easily. What did stick to the wall did not stand up to pressure. The water leak simply pushed through the flex seal no matter how much I managed to apply. Ended up taking it off after a couple of weeks & it easily peeled right off the wall. Applied drylok & haven’t had a leak since. Wasted around $100 & few hours on flex seal products just to remove in the end. Do not use this product! Waste of time & money!

Hello my name is Tori Heine.

I purchased the flex paste white today 12/11/2022 from Walmart in North Smithfield RI. I needed it to fix my tub which has a crack in it. I payed just about $15. When I opened it I noticed that it was allready cured around the entire edge of container. This is an expensive product and I would like a replacement please.
