all I can say is HOLEEEE SHIT ! If you need some tape to REALLY, REALLY hold something down, this is it.
I used a few small pieces to hold some shelves in a cabinet and had to take the tape off to adjust. FUCK, I almost injured myself. It is not as easy to use as duct tape. I had to use a box cutter to cut it. If this stuff is rated 10 for stickiness, duct tape is no more than a 1.5. https://www.flexsealproducts.com/product/flex-tape/ |

You can buy a roll of peel n stick that covers 100 sq ft for about 40 bucks from any roofing supply house.

Quoted: @redfish86 the same shit? View Quote Now, to be fair, there are different brands, etc that may have different thicknesses, different top surfaces, etc but it's sticky as hell (especially once a little heat gets on it) and it won't come off. One of the more well known brands is Grace Ice and Water shield. The NASCAR guys used to use it to patch up torn up race cars. Grace is more expensive than most though. |

I want to see someone use it as a complete underlayment on a roof instead of felt and ice water shield just to see how many years it holds up.

Yep, used flex seal tape and a margarine lid to patch a crack / hole in my outdated, piss-yellow fiberglass tub. Should hold up long enough until the remodel.

The roof of my 1960 Winnebago had a crack in the aluminum, I just used Flex Tape on it a few months ago. It is solid from what I can tell, now just need it to rain a few times to see.....

No pics, but it's definitely trailer park chic. White tape over chicken shit yellow. It's the kids' bathroom, so no shits given what they think of it.

The spray stuff has been awesome for gutter seams. Haven't played with the tape. Gutter seams were problem because water froze in them due to leaf-blocking foam not letting water fully escape.

I’ve never used this stuff, gorilla tape caused me to bleed when i bit a chunk of it in order to separate a section. Loosing lip skin hurts

How sticky on skin we talking? How large of a sheet could be purchase otc? Is it impermeable to air?

I keep a roll in my Jeep. Last November I patched the radiator hose on a buddy's car with that out at the range and told him "This will hold, just get the hose replaced when you get home" I saw him on the second weekend of this year and he hadn't replaced it yet.
I was like and he was like . |

I may try using it to remove the hair in my ass crack. View Quote The Wax'. My night began as any other normal weekday night. I came home from work, fixed dinner for my son and we played for a while. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next couple hours: maybe I should use that wax in my medicine cabinet. I set up my boy with a video and head to the site of my demise, um, I mean bathroom. It was one of those cold wax kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the clear strips in your hand, peel them apart, press it on your leg (or wherever) and ignore the frantically rising crescendo of string instruments in the background. No muss, no fuss. How hard can this be? I mean, I'm not the girly-est of girls but I'm mechanically inclined so maybe I can figure out how this works..........................You'd think. So I pull one of the thin strips out. It's two strips facing each other, stuck together. I'm supposed to rub it in my hand to warm and soften the wax (I'm guessing). I go one better: I pull out the hair dryer and heat the SOB to ten thousand degrees. Cold wax, my ass. (Oh, how that phrase will come back to haunt me.) I lay the strip across my thigh. I hold the skin around it and pull. OK, so it wasn't the best feeling in the world, but it wasn't bad. I can do this! Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am Sheera, fighter of all wayward body hair and smooth skin extraordinaire! With my next wax strip, I move north. After checking on the boy and verifying that he was, in fact, becoming one with Bear and learning all about smells, I sneak into the bathroom for The Ultimate Hair Fighting Championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet. Using the same procedure, I then apply the wax strip across the right side on my bikini line, covering the right half of my vagina and stretching up into the inside of the right ass cheek. (Yeah,it was a long strip.) I inhale deeply. I brace myself. RRRIIIIPPP!!!! I'm blind! Blind from the pain! Vision returning. Oh crap. I've managed to pull off half an inch of the strip. Another deep breath. And RIIIP! Everything is swirly and tie-dyed? Do I hear crashing drums? OK, coming back to normal again. I want to see my trophy - my wax covered pelt that caused me so much agony. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold the wax strip like an Olympic gold medallist. But why is there no hair on it? Why is the wax mostly gone? Where could the wax go, if not on the strip? Slowly, I eased my head down, my foot still perched on the toilet. I see hair - the hair that should be on the strip. I touch. I feel. I am touching wax. I look to the ceiling and silently shout "nooooooo!!" And realize I have just begun living my own personal version of "The Tar Baby." I peel my fingers off the softest, most sensitive part of my body that is now covered in cold wax and matted hair, and make the next big mistake - up until this point, you'll remember, I've had my foot on the toilet. I know I need to move, to do something. So I put my foot down on the floor. And then I hear the slamming of the cell door. Vagina? Sealed shut. Ass? Sealed shut. A little voice in my head says "I hope you don't have to potty anytime soon. Your head just might pop off." I penguin walk around the bathroom trying desperately to figure out what I should do next. Hot water! Hot water melts wax! I'll run the hottest water I can stand and get in - the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it away, right? Wrong. I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than is used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment. And I sit. Now the only thing worse than having your goodies glued together is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of a tub. In scalding hot water. Which, by the way, does not melt the cold wax. So now I'm stuck to the tub. I call my friend, C, because she once dropped out of beauty school so surely she has some secret knowledge or trick to get wax off skin. It's never good to start a conversation with "So my nether regions are stuck to the tub." She doesn't have a trick. She does her best to suppress laughter. She wants to know exactly where the wax is on the ass - "Are we talking cheek or hole, here?" she asks. She isn't even trying to hide the giggles now. I give her the run-down of the entire night. She tells me to call the number on the side of the box, but to have a good cover story for where the wax actually is. "You know that if we were working the help line at XX Wax Co. and somebody called with their entire crack sealed shut we'd just put them on hold then record the conversation for everyone we know. You're going to end up on a radio show or the internet if you tell them the truth. "While we go through various solutions, I have resorted to scraping the wax off with a razor. Boy, nothing feels better to the girly goodies than covering them in wax, sticking them to a tub in super hot water and THEN dry shaving the sticky wax off! In the middle of the conversation (which has inexplicably turned to other subjects!) I find the little, beautiful saving grace that is the lotion provided with wax to remove the excess. I rub some in and start screaming "It's working! It's working!" I get hearty congratulations from C and we hang up. I successfully remove all the wax and notice, to my dismay, that the hair is still there. So I shaved the damned stuff off. Hell, I was numb by that point anyway. And then I put the box of wax back in my medicine cabinet. Never know when a moustache might start to come in. Tonight, I attempt hair dying |
