      OxiClean is something like 60% hydrogen peroxide, and the rest is sodium carbonate, aka washing soda. The stuff you put on cuts is about 3%, and I think the stuff for bleaching hair is about 10%. Fortunately the washing soda stabilizes the hydrogen peroxide, otherwise you'd have something extremely hazardous to handle.
      For reference, the rocket jetpack the Air Force developed in the sixties (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Rocket_Belt?wprov=sfla1) was powered by, I think, 70% hydrogen peroxide which decomposed when it hit a catalytic screen in the nozzle. A lot of spacecraft have little attitude control thrusters that use the same principle: concentrated hydrogen peroxide hitting a metal screen with a catalyst.
      The washing soda is alkaline and should saponify greases and fats from food, etc, but not mineral oils and greases..

    • @joeylawn36111

      OxiClean is mostly sodium percarbonate, which when added to water, decomposes to sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide.

    Flex seal wouldn’t seal a gutter for me.
    My favorite experience with flex seal was when I was in the Plubing supply house and the guy in front of me has the whole continuous waste and trap off his double sink and it has duct tape and flex seal sprayed all over it. The guy says “I got a little rotten pipe right there.” The counter man throws a box containing the whole kit on the counter and says “15 bucks.” The guy say “No I only want that one pipe right there.” So the counter man opens the box, pulls out the pipe, lays it on the counter and says, 15 bucks. The guy gets all PO’d and says “now you are trying to rip me off.”
    The counter man says, Don’t worry, when you come back after you can’t get that crap apart and cleaned up, I’m going to give you the rest of the box free, you just don’t know you need it yet!”

    A goober I know used some to "seal" several holes in an old aluminum Jon boat a year or two ago. It worked very well for about a year (the boat, under his ownership, was stored in a garage) but he was a lucky duck, so to speak, to be a good, strong swimmer when two of the bigger holes "blew out" while he was fishing in the middle of a large farm pond on his property. The boat WAS recovered....Thanks to two swimming and diving fool teenage sons and a Ford farm tractor equipped with a front mounted winch and a lot of cable....He has since had the old boat professionally repaired with aluminum patches and uses it for fishing in his ponds and a couple of local lakes.

    Comparing it to "duck tape" (not duct tape) is exactly right. It's a temp fix, but really expensive if you add it all up for medium to large jobs. It's like rebuilding an engine with nothing but an adjustable wrench. It "can" be done, but the end result is a lot better when you use the RIGHT tools for the job. If a tool or product does Everything....... it does everything half-arsed.

    You have to try Chemlink sealant. We started selling this where I work. It is the toughest caulk I have ever seen. A form also comes in a roof pitch pocket version that comes in a bag that can be poured into a form. I'm not affiliated but truly impressed. It's inexpensive also. Keep up the great videos.

    We used the liquid flex seal to fix a leaky baptismal that had not been used for 27 years. We lightly sanded it, cleaned it, then applied 2 coats. That was 2 1/2 years ago and the once leaky baptismal (it had many large leaks and some small leaks) now works great! I would highly recommend the liquid flex seal. I have since used the spray can flex seal to fix some drips in our gutter before selling the home last summer.

    You said it right, use a product made specifically for the application. Captaining is serious business and boats can’t afford a product unproven to endure. I’ve used this seen on TV product and there’s good reason the marketing was needed to push this non-specialized, non-leading, non-cost effective, over-hyped product bought by the millions who still haven’t found the right way to fix their leaks. As a boat and RV owner you are part of a crowd known for over spending due to inconvenient circumstances with luxury adventures. If they did the same level of marketing that 3M does for their similar but specialized and truly innovative quality products Flex would likely not sell much based on product reputation and industry word of mouth alone. Especially at what is it now $20+ a pint? Btw, your videos, the bear and your well scoped sound and seasoned research and opinions are enlightening, many thanks.

    At 13:00 you ask why they have glow in the dark, I know this might be a specialized situation, but we use that for theater a lot. When the lights go down on stage, small spikes of glow in the dark give off enough light for a short amount of time and allow for set and prop placement. It also is a great safety item for moving around during a blackout, it's hard to see stairs or small set pieces, especially when you go from being under bright stage lights to complete darkness and your eyes haven't adjusted.

    I’m a chemist in industry. This is a brand with many reworked ideas, but the core product appears to be an SEBS rubber lacquer. Not new at all, but with today’s regulations on solvents the aerosol version of many of these products stand out. Comparable water-based products need good conditions to cure. 25 years ago local paint stores had similar products in cans and a clerk who worked with them. Today’s is big box, TV and videos and they serve a purpose. If you have a big job there are usually commercial analogs that often much better, but finding them is hard.
    Take Gorilla tape, it’s good. But in roofing we have something called eterna-bond that’s much more aggressive. Both have there place and I have both in my RV tool bag.commercial coatings are not too different from Flex Seal in a can and more solids and will last longer. I think they go back to 50’s.
