    What will you Flex next?! For future reference, we do not recommend applying the Flex Seal Family of Products on a gasoline tank, oil tank, radiator, or on or around any other flammable liquids or ignition sources (such as Engines). Our team is always available for tips, tricks and safety advice or visit our FAQs.

    I love how Garrett can go anywhere and make friends and have everyone feel better after they talk to him. What a good guy. Especially when TH-cam seems to turn people into rich, calloused, arrogant and obnoxious jerks or depressed, miserable and beat down husks of their former selves. Cleetus has managed to walk that middle line.

      No doubt! I met him like 4 years ago when Leroy ran its first 8.90s pass. I had my then 7 year old with me. My son bought an old glass bottle of coke with dale on it and wanted to give it to garret. He couldn’t have been nicer to us and took the time to talk to us, even though he was busy with leroy at the time.

  • @jpol3808
    @jpol3808 2 ปีที่แล้ว +183

    It failed because when applied thicker it needed more dry time and then you added an extra wet layer right before assembly. You needed to skip the last application and let it dry for a few days. Once dry, the dried seal would have crushed between the two surfaces sealing them completely. In essence the pressure blew out the wet flex seal. Try a heat lamp or a heat gun to expedite dry time and do it again to see if it blows out dry flex seal! Bet it doesn't. What do you got to lose! I'm sure you got a few cans left over. Lol.

    Flex Seal makes a great adhesive too! Fixed my favorite beach sandal straps and they're better than new! Also fixed the flaking seam seal the manufacturer put on my surfing gloves too. BTW it did a great job on my gutter leak too lol! Amazed it did so well as a head gasket. Too bad you didn't let it heat cycle a couple of times. It would have made a great version of one of those "there we were on a surf safari in Baja stuck with nothing but a can of flex seal" stories........

      It'll actually work temporarily 100%, but overtime it will fail. Flex seal is basically just rubber, and rubber is used all throughout the car already. The problem happens because most rubber gaskets in cars are treated to be resistant towards stuff like oil, gas, and other things in car engines. Flex seal hasn't been treated for any of this stuff, so yeah.
      A lot of people seem to forget that flex seal is literally just rubber.

    You should have tried to rerighten the head bolts to specs after you did the 2 burnouts before you hit the NOS. Because of the engine getting warmed up. I'm sure the flex seal was getting soft. It would have been interesting to see after the two burnouts park the blazer it let it sit and cool all night and the next day rerighten the head bolts and hit the NOS right out of the gate. That would be interesting to see how many shots it would have taken. I was impressed how long it did run for. I like the lab coats and goggles boys. especially wearing them in the stores.

    This summer tempted to spray frex seal around outside windows. The place i rent put in new windows. The draft coming in uses 3 times the heat and rain comes right in. I bet a good coat of flex seal stops the draft.

    Should try machining then lapping both faces on something with iron block and heads using a whiff of assembly lube as the seal. You would be surprised just how much pressure that will hold if you get it ""optically flat"" and apply enough clamping force.
