Haven't actually followed through though. Would be curious to see how it holds up long time. This stuff is basically Petroleum Asphalt (pitch) in a solvent carrier and I suspect as it dries out it will get brittle and crack. (basically lose it's flex) That is the same problem you have with tar based roof cement. Once the solvent carriers boil away it shrinks and gets brittle. YMMV based on sun, heat and exposure to the elements. I suspect you're wrong about that too. It looks more like an RTV type product to me. You'd have to be nuts to base a product like that on crude asphalt today when so much better solutions are available that will actually work. |

Flex products such as Flex Glue and Flex Seal
Depending on the environment, coats added, and maintenance, many people have found Flex Seal will last for years without cracking, peeling or losing any of its strength or sealing properties. -- For full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...s-3096865-.htm |
