You have likely seen the tv commercial for Flexseal. It sells for

The S&H is $9.99 per can. Thus, those two cans cost you about $40.







Walmart sells it. $12.99 per can. Thus you'll pay about $26 for two



cans, and save $14 (not to mention the wait time). [Ok, there will



probably be sales tax, but no where near $14].







So much for their "FREE" can.



You can actually get about 3 cans at Walmart for the same price as the



"order by mail", and that allows for the sales tax.







*WHAT A SCAM*



Anyone try this stuff for those small cracks in certain drywall

locations that keep reappearing, ie spraying it with that, then

painting over it?



HMmm,

So I gather you got scammed? I never anything shown on TV like that.

Good things sell themselves, no ad. needed.

I guess either you don't have infomercials up there in CA or
else you never watch TV in the 2pm - 5pm time period. There is
one product after another like that on the air here. Even during
regular hours, it's not unusual to see some similar thing. I
just saw an ad for a "burger stuffer", for example, during regular
programming. And a very high percentage of them do what was done
with the flex-seal stuff, ie for the incredible price of $19.99,
you don't get just one, you get TWO. All you have to do is pay
for the additional "handling and shipping charges" for the second
"free" one.
