Anyone use any of the Flex products such as Flex Glue and Flex Seal?
Does that stuff really work?

My son has a pool business. He has used the Flex Seal a couple of times
and said it works. No idea how long it will last though.

No doubt long enough to shoot a commercial but I wouldn't take that
screen door boat out far from shore.

I've been curious to pick up some Flex Seal and test it myself.
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.

I would also want to know the shelf-life, pot-life, environmental impact, and disposal
recommendations.

https://www.google.com/search?client...x-seal+reviews

For example:
https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/getflexseal.com
1.4 stars out of five from 99 reviews
https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/...heck/index.htm

but Amazon reviews are better.

There are more that I did not look at

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.
