UPDATE TO FLEX TAPE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2iVdJ2GfdVlfsk Tested on a pool liner!

[@hardjob001]

Which can handle the most temp and UV?

[@timezonewatchman9501]

Good for fixing screen on smartphone

[@JesusGarcia-hu9xc]

Thank you man

[@teegees]

A weakness can be a strength, and vice versa. ie The fact the gorilla tape is less sticky can be a good thing if it means you can reposition it or peel it off more easily. Same with the stretching. Also you get twice the amount for the buck. Gorilla wins overall if you ask me!

Thanks dude, I have a pretty big drain pipe leak under my kitchen sink so this demo was helpful in showing that while one brand may be a bit better than the other both of them work. Providing my issue can even be fixed with adhesive tape, temporarily or not, something I am really hoping will be the case because otherwise I'll have to buy a new counter as its rotting underneath, sink and piping which we all know will lead to new cabinets and drawers etc. and I don't want to spend what little money I have left (emphasis on "little" thanks to covid causing me my job) redoing my kitchen.

[@kayligo]

How did it work out for ya?

[@dustup2249]

The Gorilla Tape stretched but then returned to the original length after you set the weight down, which comports to your early on comment that the Gorilla Tape felt "rubbery". The Gorilla Tape would have won hands down if it had the same adhesion as the Flex Tape. The fact that you pulled the backing from the Gorilla Tape easier demonstrated why it didn't stick quickly. Good test and fair evaluation. Thanks for the comparison.

I used Gorilla patch and seal for my Rv roof. I like it better than flex tape because it has more flex and stretches better plus you get twice as much for the same price.

In Wisc we have property and have a trailer and behind trailer we have a large vinyl garage that we store mowers, ladders etc inside. One year a heavy tree branch fell on it and punctured the vinyl garage, and left a hole w a tear about 4x7 inches. Various patches would not stay, but about 2-3 years ago I bought some Flex tape and applied it from inside of vinyl garage and the hole was on the curved area of the vinyl garage. I applied a large strip of FlexTape w about 2-3” excess past the hole on each side, And I have to say I’m very happy with the results! Worked excellent for my purpose. Tried some on roof of our trailer though but it did not stay. Maybe flex paste would. I may try that next.

Thank you for this demonstration Jeff. I definitely feel flex tape is worth trying on the slice I accidentally made in our plastic pond liner while trying to trim silicone away from a drain that was sealed to a hole made in the bottom of it. Do you think that this tape could be shaped around the drain, to ensure a smoother surface, for a flat rubber plug to rest upon? I used a lot of silicone to secure the drain. I also tried to repair the slice I made, with additional silicone. Would the set silicone applications need to be completely removed, before taping with the flex tape, for a proper adhesion? Or could I work the flex tape over the silicone as it is, and still achieve the seal that I am hoping for?

[@2kitties]

I used Flex Tape last year. I had major difficulty trying to cut it because the glue from the tape stuck to my scissors and also to a knife I tried to use. It was also next to impossible to start peeling the backing off. I was using my fingernail to try to separate the backing. I finally got the backing off, and the tape is still holding over a year later on an inside project. But edges of the tape are starting to lift up on the outside project. I also tried the liquid on a metal shed roof, but it wouldn’t spread. I think the metal was just too hot. The temperature was in the nineties and the roof was in direct sunlight. So I didn’t finish the shed roof, but I’m going to try again, now that it’s cooler outside.

[@weldy7018]

Actually there are A LOT of variables in trying to do testing like this. How big the hole is and how deep the water is make sure you difference and pressures and what not. So doing a test in a bucket isn't going to relate to a hole in the side of an above ground pool towards the bottom cuz there's crazy amount more pressure and weight pushing down on it. Good preliminary testing regardless so at least I have an idea of what I'm looking at now so thanks.

I have a flat roof that has Gaco silicone coating on it. It developed a few cracks and was leaking. After watching your video I went out and purchased one roll of each. It was barely sprinkling when I attempted to make the patch. However I made sure that I wipe the area down with dry rags and also sprayed it with alcohol to facilitate the water evaporating. It certainly wasn’t completely dry but there were no drops of water. Sadly neither products worked at all. In fact when I went to rub them down they kept moving because they did not adhere. I will try it again on a sunny warm day but as far as it’s sticking to moisture that did not happen in my case. It may be because it doesn’t stick to silicone.

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the comprehensive review, it's always better to see real-world tests than ones done under lab conditions - as I'm sure the manufacturers base their advertising on. I am looking for a tape to run along the plastic strip that sits beneath my car's windscreen (to get the rain water to run over the plastic instead of finding its way underneath and getting into the pollen filter), I don't want to use silicone sealant as the plastic part needs to be removed to swap out the filter. Any recommendations of the best tape to use (either one of these or a different one?) Ideally it should be clear, but black would also work. As you may have guessed I am in the UK by the way, so am hoping Flex Tape, etc is sold over here.

I've used both since the review in wet conditions and they both did well. I will say flex tape is sold in clear. The main disadvantage to flex tape is you get less of the product from the same price. In the end both of these tapes are only a temporary fix. Eventually they will come off or a leak may form. Thanks for checking it out and I hoped it helped.

Thank you I appreciate your doing this video 👍 Everybody hates to get something home to find out it didn't work like as seen on TV 🤬 😬 So it helps to have things verified 👍 Great help!!!!!

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Absolutely! Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@francesholdsworth571]

Thank you Jeff

You are most welcome. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Hey Jeff I've used both products for pond repairs and I've found that gorilla tape is better and both products recommend that you use them on a clean dry surface to ensure the best results.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Thanks for sharing your experience with these products!

I've seen around on youtube Flex Tape works well on fixing air mattresses, so whatever works best for patching a hole on an air mattress. Seems like typical tape doesn't really do so well. I haven't tried duct tape yet, but I've heard it doesn't do so well either to cover a hole on an air mattress.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

The only thing I have found permanent success with an air mattress is a vinyl weld...that way it would adhere and become part of the original material. Flex Tape may work for a while but not permanently. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Thanks Jeff, I wanted to know which to use for a paddling pool repair. Many thanks. Jane, England

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I've used both. I've also heard flex glue with flex tape works too

[@siegfriedschudel7024]

Thank you for this interesting test

Used some flex tape to repair a roof leak in my sunroom that others claimed to have fixed. Cleaned and made sure shingles were brushed to remove loose stuff applied and still holding 2 1/2 years later. If applied correctly it works great and will save ya some cash.

Thanks for sharing your experience with this tape.

Hi how are you so this product product very nice but this product how to long size wedding and birthday shop is tent this product purpose Helps ,,,,,,,,,,,?

[@adew4u2enjoy]

in the footage you can see the gorilla tape bulging around the hole.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

The gorilla tape is definitely more rubbery feeling. It is stretchy. Although its not as good as the flex tape it was able to hold its own - for a little while. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@claibst]

That's what she said 🤣

[@lisacypert1154]

I saw that too. Putting price aside as a variable, I would go for Flex Tape every time.

I watched because I am looking for something to hold cat6 cable for cctv onto my brick house. Over 110 yrs. old I don't want to put more holes than necessary on my front brick. Thought your review was very well done. Thanks.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@hotsaucejunkietim]

wow this was great video! honestly water will always find a way . i used gorilla glue and it was crap just FYI

[@Jeffreviews4u]

you're right, water will always find a way...thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@a2cryss]

I would think the fact the the Gorilla tape stretched (flexed) more than the Flex tape would be beneficial and not a con unless you are using it to lift barbells.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I see what you are saying beneficial in some cases not in others. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@chaos.corner]

I am looking because I need something to fix a hose that twists. flexibility is definitely a plus so I'll be going with the gorilla.

[@mcharleym3104]

Now i know slapping on two patches of flex tape on both sides of a hole would do an even better job. Very interesting review by the way. Thanks man 🙏

[@LPChip]

Still in the beginning of the video, but already a +1 because you used 2 different colors for the ease of the video! now that's smart thinking! :D

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Glad it helped. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@gregorysampson6074]

I would love to see that flexseal can be used for coating roofs.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

I've tried all of them on a leaky metal roof...I get a "temporary" fix before having to repair the spot. Honestly it takes a lot of effort to get the stuff off to repair the spot. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@janeteslick8713]

Just so I needed to know! I feel like the flex tape is much better the Gorilla Tape didn't stick where I had hooked a PVC faucet into a hose and then turned on the water and it popped out but using the flex tape it sealed and it didn't pop out. Thanks for your demonstration

[@sojournsojourntraveler1203]

About how much psi on this ?

[@denisereddish1563]

Thanks for the review. Im going with clear flex tape for two things .. these leaky jalousie windows ..hot air in south fl make the ac run longer summers are so hot an humid. an a leaky pipe under the sink where i have a bucket... i almost picked the gorilla glue. Im glad i diddnt. Plus the outside of an apt bldg. I can't put colored tape on a window.. the flex tape has the CLEAR. your review was awesomeness..thank you thank you.

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@agentredhasretired5450]

Hey this is great info. I have a resin fountain that has a crack. I am going to Home Depot today hope they have the tape. Thank you.

[@neilpegram]

Which one would you use to patch up a large vinyl pool floating island thing? Should I really just use a proper pool vinyl patch, or would the gorilla tape work ?

[@Jeffreviews4u]

Honestly if you have a piece of vinyl use a product called HH-66 and apply the vinyl over the area needing to be patched. HH-66 is like a vinyl weld...impressive stuff. If you didn't want to go that route use flex tape...it has a stronger bond. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@neilpegram]

@@Jeffreviews4u great tip. Thx

[@babeena_gt_3645]

Cutting the flex tape is so much of a pain,but it sealed my tiny sub basement window up really good. The barrel by the window would fill with water every rain and the pressure would push the seal open,and the water would pour into my basement. I got sick of fixing the window zsi I flex tapped it about 1 year ago,and it's still holding strong

[@Jeffreviews4u]

That's awesome! And you're right it is quite difficult to cut. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

[@jacolynclark386]

Thanks for this study. I was wondering which one would perform better. Im going with flex

[@winowarrior9392]

I have not used Gorilla Tape, but have been disapointed in one of their products. I used Flex-Tape for my shower and other things and it has held up quite well. Not a permanent solution, but then again, I can't afford to remodel my bathroom. I think the fact that they sell twice as much at the same price, says a lot. But, if you are really looking for a lot of good solid quick fixes that you do not expect to hold, then the Gorilla is the go-to. Save money, fix things. Thanks for the video!
