![FLEX TAPE vs. Gorilla Tape: which one is better? [9]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ro-7sAkVB3s/mqdefault.jpg)
Thanks for the Flextastic video! Keep em coming, we love them!
Absolutely, keep putting out flextastic products and I'll keep reviewing them - lol.
Flexseal can you make flex duct tape flex wood glue flex clear grip and flex kids school glue commercials
With Daniel Radcliffe Rosie Perez and and Jen from gorilla glue
Yes
Go to bed flex seal
Flex seal why do you always appear in youtube comments?
Tough table! Great video thank you
Excellent head to head tests. You should have tried to patch the leak using the spray itself, it would be interesting to know if these can be used to seal a dripping leak. Like a leaking shed roof or a water tank leak. Perhaps if the product was more viscous / thick it would adhere and provide more surface area, maybe a different nozzle.
Thank you for the review, me and a few friends are looking for something to paint a rectangle on our curbs to then stick reflective address stickers on, We're all tired of these people coming around, swearing they're using rubberized base spray and after 5 times paying for it, the addresses only stay 1 to 2 years max. I can replace the stickers every year.
Sir, what an amazing video. Well, thought out well put together. Well edited, informative. Easy to understand and just plain amazing I really appreciate you putting in the time and effort for all of us.🎉❤😊
I appreciate the kind words and support! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂
Hi!
I think you should temporarily apply some simple tape from the inside in each bottle, then apply the spray and remove the tape after.
That would help to fill the holes much easier using only one can each.
Or some newspaper. It'd dissolve in the water.
This was a good test for comparison. Most practical applications, such as roofing, would not involve submersion but just protection from spray, splash or drip.
They leaked because when the boxes warped it obviously made cracks in the boxes that's why they both leaked out, the flex seal probably cured more quickly than the gorilla so it was harder faster so when the boxes warped it cracked more so when you put the rocks in to hold the box the gorilla was slightly less cured so the partially cured spots it cracked in made a sealed tighter on contact, which means at least the flex seal cures faster and possibly harder which I believe is a win for flex seal, and judging by the other tests this is correct. ¡¡¡ALSO YOURE SUPOOSED TO HOLD THE CANS UPSIDE DOWN AND GIVE A COUPLE QUICK SPRAYS SO THE AIR CLEARS THE NOZZLE SO IT DOESNT CLUMP, AND AFFECT COVERAGE WHICH IS ESSENTIAL IF YOU WANT IT TO WORK!!! ¡¡¡SORRY FOR ALL CAPS!!! AND ¡¡¡EXCLAMATIONS!!!SO HERE'S SOME SMILEYS TO BALANCE OUT THE VIBE!!!😃😀😄😁😆🤣😂☺️🙃🙂😉❤🍆💦, woops the last two auto filled, I swear I never use those for any reason other that eggplant or hydration based discussion, Samsung and Google are gonna hear about this I assure you.
That's pretty impressive for both products, considering what you were attempting to seal and the requirement of holding water under pressurel. I suspect that for waterproofing surfaces and joints that have minimal gaps, along with surfaces that do not flex and expand but remain immobile, the products will last, hopefully through a rainy season. I just ordered the same Gorilla product from Home Depot, as my usual source from Amazon would not arrive till after a significant rain event here in Los Angeles. Thank s for the video.
Round holes are great and all, but fixing real world applications, like cracks in a bucket, the gap is minimal.
For holes, I'd probably do the tape, then spray over the tape.
Hi hi! Great video :) do either of these have a strong odor? If one has less odor than the other, which one might that be?
I don think any spray on product can stop standing water for long periods. I would use a paste for that. I need something I can spray on the sides of a wicker potted plant cover to prevent rain and bugs from getting inside or causing damage.
Will any of these products fix my cracked water fountain bowls? Thx.
Hey Jeff I was at Walmart deciding which one to use when I TH-cam you LOL thanks for the info
Good stuff, I just bought a can of Gorilla to treat a section of slide floor on my 5th wheel that I replaced due to rot. I was looking for the fabric that comes stabled to the floor when new, but a local dealer told me they use Gorilla patch and seal on and under the floor. So I will try that and after seeing your video I am confident that it will hold back the moisture under the carpet.
See my comment about using chrome tape before overspraying.
awesome man thanks for the info
Awesome jeff..great..testing
I am surprised either held up as well as they did.
The warping of the boxes likely introduced a crack where water could seep out, I saw that coming with all that water, too much pressure for flimsy cardboard. I wonder how they would have held up at 1/4 full…
The bucket test was interesting. Since only the outside was sprayed I didn’t expect either if them to keep the holes plugged under the pressure from the water. Very neat.
I agree with you about the boxes.
My thought is that the spray of the seal didn't get coverage underneath the inside flaps of the box, but the water will.
@@Kevin-kf5dn Especially the flexseal box. The flap was open by almost one inch, while the gorilla was touching the second layer of card board, and the spray mostly covered or sealed them. I think the flex seal was only holding the water from the outside spray.
spray would be ok a crack,not a hole,they have a paste or patch either would work better on a hole
Thanks Jeff any other products
Comparing the 2 boxes isn't a very good method. Before I continue, please understand the context. I am not here to complain or insult or anything like that. I am just providing my own feedback without any hostility.
The issue here is that the experiment isn't controlled enough. 2 cardboard boxes have enough differences and inherent properties to cause the comparison to be more than just 1 spray versus the other. One of them may have gotten less
Coverage than the other, or a flawed application, etc. It feels like after your initial application and curing, an extra step would have been useful: inspect the outcome and check for weak points or incomplete seals, and then provide a few more applications. Those flaps on the inside bottom should have been adhered to the rest of the bottom, as they introduce points of uncertainty. I believe that due to the inherent nature of cardboard boxes, these extra steps would help make the experiment be a more controlled one. You can take the concepts and ideas behind what I said and extract them, and apply them to the process your own way to isolate the comparison down to spray versus spray, so that the boxes themselves won't influence the outcome.
As for the bottles with holes, I believe that the flaw was in your application method. Spraying a hole wouldn't be the way to seal it. The hole should be covered on one end with something that the spray can't adhere to (such as sticker release paper or wax paper, perhaps?), with a piece of waterproof tape larger than the release paper (to seal around the paper), and then spraying on the opposite side of the hole. That way you will have something to hold the fluid across the span of the hole as it sets. After the fluid dries and sets, you can remove the tape and release paper (the idea is that the product wont stick to the release paper and wont be ripped from the hole once you remove the hole-covering release paper), resulting in a securely-attached rubber film sealing the hole. It can afterwards be tested.
on big holes the tape workes the best or you need to olug the holles then spray the coating
So when the Flex seal or Gorilla spray dry is it like a rubber material? And how so ? Hard rubber or flexible???
Does anyone know of this stuff Is flexible after it dries? For example spraying a pool liner? Thx!!!
I've found using tin foil or chrome adhesive tape, then overspraying with either product can seal many problem areas including window sills that may be breaking down. Chrome adhesive tape is VERY sticky and tough.
You should make sure your holes aren’t any larger then a quarter inch since that’s the “up to size “..
Are both products UV resistant? The UV rays from the sun will break down materials. (I'm in south Florida)
How would these compare to Ducky Spray-on Electro-seal? Also spray-on rubber
Lmaoo "well that's an interesting turn of events...they're frozen haha that's awesome" ahahahaha hella funny dudee I didn't expect that at all! Subscribed.
I found this video while looking for some kind of spray to spray on my tall, older, wicker plant stands. I’m going to spray them a different color and then seal them somehow to help with water damage. They’ll get wet, I don’t want to be gentle with them and have to be careful with the watering. I’m going to look and see if the Flexseal comes in a clear.
Seal first, paint later.
Thanks Jeff
Absolutely! Thanks for checking out the video.
the experiment is interesting as an intellectual exercise, and I know their ads use the Flex seal spray on screening to create a solid barrier, but the holes in screening are much smaller than the ones you drilled. the right tool is needed for the right job, and a spray seal isn't it, in this case. it doesn't really provide any useful comparison in a real world application.
i do like your videos, though, and the flex seal tape comparison on the bucket holes was very compelling.
perhaps compare the products on some actual plumbing pipes; around stripped threads on a sink trap, or cracked PVC.
i have subscribed, and i look forward to seeing more.
Small pieces of duct tape over the holes before spraying should
Of course, love the upload bro. Keep em coming. However, not sure either is made for covering large holes. Also, not economical to use several cans of either on 1 item. Maybe a more fair comparison would be something with pinholes or a screen type item. Anyhow, GREAT REVIEW Jeff!
I took the test to the next level! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Try using mesh tape on the corners and edges. Just to give those sensitive areas more structure.
Thanks for the tip! Have a great day and stay safe.
I"m looking for a way to stop my concrete bird bath from letting the water seep out, looks like it's gonna be Flex Seal spray for me. Thanks for a great video.
You are most welcome! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Jeff, what would you think of using the stuff on the underside of a lawnmower deck to keep the grass from sticking or at least making it easier to remove the grass?
Use a hammered spray or brush on finish. Very tough, slippery, and will help prevent rusting if it's a metal deck.
I’ve got a 2014 F150 and the 3rd brake light leaks on them all, even the new gasket doesn’t always work, so I’m going to get a new gasket ,install it, then mask off the light,and the paint around the light leaving a 1/8 inch gap and spray the winner around the brake light to stop leaks ..l
It's a bit extreme, may be cover these larger holes FG flywire or Plasterer tape to aid the products ability to seal, just an Idea!
I have called flex seal customer service three times. Each time I speak with them they inform me their products do not work together. What that means is I can't use the paste and then paint over it with either the spray paint or the liquid paint. One will not bond to the other. Have you found that to be true? You have showed spraying several coats of the spray paint, which indicates it will bond to itself.
I have used the flex glue on the flex tape and had pretty good success. I found that the clear glue worked best. I haven't tried other flex products together. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I actually need a spray that would make metal a little quieter when hit. Do you think this would work for that?
This produces a rubber coating. How often does the metal hit? My only thought on that would be it possibly rubbing off over time. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Hello from England. Good video.
My toilet sprung a leak between the Cistern & the Bowl where the Cistern sits on the bowl, the water then drained downstairs as the water went into the cavity in the wall, do you think I could seal behind the toilet where the leak is & the floor in the cavity with either of these?
Thanks
Why not get a new toilet???
@@bigmacdaddy1234 Yeah right that makes sense, rather than just seal it which maybe a few minute job just take the whole toilet out & spend the time & money on a new one. Ffs.
🇬🇧
Will these work on leaky roofs
?
Great review, we do not have these in Australia in my local hardware stores. Before I order from Amazon how do you think the flex seal would perform on a slightly dripping metal water pipe on my vanity unit.
I wouldn't use this for a pipe under pressure. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Look up TV2U. They store flex seal. We had a pop up store here that I just got some from so they stock to Australia
big w has them
I am not trying to find fault with these products just giving you my experience. I am a master plumber and come across homeowners who have tried to use sprays on leaks (water supply and drainage) . Never works. At best slows it down. The down side is you spend money and time on a futile effort to only have to call a plumber in the end. I will spend even more time and your money dealing with the mess. Most cases i have to completely repipe the area where they used the spray. It takes more time and effort to try with no avail to clean this stuff off. The sprays do have a use but not on your plumbing. When i see this stuff on pipes now i tell my customers it needs to be replaced and in some cases even the sink.
It looks like the flaps in the inside of the bows would lift. Looked like the test was doomed to fail.
I'm going to use one of these on my rc car body's to give them a bit more strength instead of tape and glue.
Came here. Let the neighbor know they were flooding out side yard. Their response was "Do you have a problem, the other neighbor sprays our yard." But, I guess what can I expect from dog beating jerks. Hope this works, so my house foundation doesn't get ruined.
Wheres that black lady who glued her hair with gorilla? she got to see this!
Didn't she get a bunch of money for being an idiot?... Oh, asking for a friend LOL
Will this work for my car door? Because water gets in due to a dent that was caused by a tree and when it rains water gets in 🥺
Good test but those boxes are not the same. That can cause issues. One box can be more damaged on the boxes
which would you use for fishing waders? your guess...appreciated...
For me, the flex seal spray sprayed a lot smoother. That would be my first choice. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
"Ok fly, fly away" 😆
Lol...pesky Flys. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
$80 dollars later - the holes are plugged. why not two brand new containers instead?
I do like flex spray and roll on!
Haha me too. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Right off the bat I've played with flex seal a lot and the black one just works better don't know why but it really does it blows the other colors and clear out of the water try testing with black next time you will get a different result
Interesting. Of the white and clear, which of those would you say is stronger? I'm spraying am old Sam's club insulated bag because I can't find anything on the market that equals it. Sadly mine leak now, there's a plastic liner bag with silver behind that, I'm thinking it would be really dark and hard to find stuff if I used black. Thanks in advance!
Will either spray with can upside down?
No, on the flex seal bottle the instructions say, " After each use, invert can and apply a short burst to clear nozzle."
Excuse me ... a question works for paint a bicycle tire ....? gorila ..thank you
Paint a tire? For decoration yes, but it won't hold air. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Oh boy. Did you drill 😳the holes large enough? 😳 well, now you have made some nice flower 💐 containers, they need drainage. Lol
Always pushing the limits and these sprays didn't disappoint. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Flex seal box looked like they had bigger holes in the corners
That's quite possible. I tried to make sure to make a fair test. I blame Amazon...lol.
I was really hoping you would test on a gutter seam as that is how I would like to use either of these products. I have leaks where the seams are.
I think it should work on a gutter seam...use a little product at a time and let it dry...build it up over time. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I need it for the gutters too!
Just takes to long to use on a job ie sealing a gutter join rather use something out of a Tin aply with brush
Should have used same identical boxes for true comparison
How bout plugging the holes then apply?
That's a good idea, when I started this test, I thoughts the spray would have filled the cracks. Hindsight is 20-20. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Flex seal wow
Flex seal win
Jeff, sorry we didn't see a screen bottom boat comparison:) (would have been costly). My concern was, when using Flex Seal it seemed to not go on smoothly and left air pockets, whereas Gorilla seemed to go on more smoothly. Your comment?
Gorilla glue is awesome
The bad part about that is that you have to keep spraying so many times so many colts the flex seal you just put it I'm talking about the flex seal the one is like paste I think that one works better
Sure flex paste would have worked quicker but what fun would that be ;) thanks for stopping by and commenting.
A shame you didn’t test a unsprayed box as a control.
That's a good idea...thanks for sharing.
You could just buy plastic boxes to hold water
Lol...that would be way to easy and makes the most sense. Ha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Jeff, your killing me. Your cardboard box test is so full of holes. Meaning it was a horrible thing to test on your end. I like some of your other tests.
The cardboard test was challenging, but duct tape over the bottom and open areas before spraying should have solved the problems.
Gonna try Gorilla on the top of my 30 year old van.
HELP I want to use it for a water fountain leak where birds drink water and take baths.. is it toxic for birds? Does anyone know?
The company says once fully cured their products are not toxic to animals.
Flex 💪🏼
Why would u seal cardboard?🤔Even for a demo.
U wasted the spray, why not just spray the holes directly to fill them up rather than spraying the whole bottles.
So personally I prefer the leak stopper rubber flexx as you get four more ounces per can and it's almost a dollar cheaper.
I'm doing up my almost classic truck and some white wall in my tires on a budget so really my main concern is how smooth the overall finish would be once it had dried😊
The technical performance of them I'm not even paying attention I'm just freeze framing in the best lighting at the highest video quality and zooming in to see how it looks😂
I know the gorilla spray is self-leveling, so as long as your tires are flat on the ground, it should work well. Test first.
Wake test
In leaking pipes they both worked like crap!
I agree. These sprays aren't intended for leaking pipes. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
gorilla seems for me to win
Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting
Flex
His voice 😎😎
I'm kind of partial to it too. Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Go Bills!!!
Oh yeah! Go Bills!
I cringed when I saw you spraying this all over the grass. Wouldn't be difficult to put some cardboard underneath and spare the grass.
Lol... you're right putting cardboard down would have been easy. Then again I cut my lawn once every 5 days....grows fast...lol. thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Spare the grass? What the hell are you talking about?
@@aj12271 - Did you watch the video? Grass likes water, sun, and certain nutrients. It does not like to be "sealed".
@@need100k the grass will be ok. I know a knucklehead like you stays up late at night worrying about the grass. Poor thing. You were probably one of those poor souls potty trained at gunpoint & have no way of coping with such a thing as painted grass that will grow just fine.
@@aj12271 - I spent 15 years in the lawn care business. I know a hell of a lot more about it than you ever will. It annoys the sh*t out of me when I see contractors or painters dump their sh*t on the grass. Chemicals aren't healthy for it. Why the f are YOU staying up late at night trying to tell me things that you haven't a clue what you're even talking about?
This was not a good experiment at all. You wasted so much time and silicone. All you had to do is to crack the bottom of the water bottle and apply one coat of the silicone
to see it could seal it. That's it.
Although you would cover the holes with another product, I was showing what could be done with the spray. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Fiex seal!!
Thanks for the vote!
Thanks
not sure what it was supposed to test but for the next test of sealing coat sprays ypu should compare the number of complements you get for wearing each hat to church on Sunday

12 minutes & 31 seconds...come on man.
You're having too much fun.
Lol...you should have seen the footage that didn't make it. Ha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Really who would ever use this on paper or cardboard.
Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Sheman triggered him ,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
I understand why your doing this but why not just get the puddy
you wasting all product were it doesn't need it, try to spray only the holes not were there is no holes dude, good luck everyone
👋🏽 Jeff, my name is Joe and l am a female. From my perspective l would use one can of each …FLEX & GORILLA 🤔ijs
Hey Joe, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You can't go wrong with both - lol. 👍
i don't think you are using the correct usage for this product,
Like, comment, and subscribe!
I appreciate the support! 👍
lousy test compare with project farm
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Unintelligent reviews for Unintelligent users? My 7 yr old recognized that only a dumb dumb would try and fill holes with a spray alone! He suggested pushing playdoh in first then spraying them. Where i might suggest tape?
Bottom line these tests are Not inducative of intended use for these products!
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks for the vote of confidence! You rock.
Hey man, love that you tried, but as you said, this test is not scientific. You're really not able to compare the two products the way you tested them. Try a more controlled test, like two plastic containers with the same size holes drilled in them.
Like the five gallon bottles?
I think this stuff is made more for microscopic holes,pin holes,or maybe even leaking threads honestly this looks like a pretty worthless product
I agree but it's fun to experiment. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
so basically you need tons of it to stop a leak
Jeff, what would you think of using the stuff on the underside of a lawnmower deck to keep the grass from sticking or at least making it easier to remove the grass?
Give the mower deck a spray of WD-40
That's an interesting thought. Grass would most likely still stick so you'd be in the same boat.
WD-40 may be the way to go, thanks The Ultimate Warrior!
