300 lbs for one drop of super glue is still insane, I’m impressed

[@michaelmay5453]

Well, it's kinda standard. Back in the day Loctite used to lift a car with one drop of superglue. There is not really anything special to it, all good superglues are C5H5NO2 and that is what makes them work.

I think with two flat machined surfaces the glue works better? Like if you can apply the glue only one molecule thick.

[@oldhelldog5460]

@@1pcfred The orignal article from flex glue says it. They machined it flat and than "bonding surfaces were media blasted with 120-grit silicon carbide". So in the end they also roughed it up so there is more surface area. After that they soaked it in Aceton so no residue at all is left

[@charlesingram9471]

another factor to consider with the failed workbench test is that the duct tape will stick to a smooth metal surface better than a wood surface. A good laugh, great video!

[@fortyfukinseven]

I literally coated a massive subwoofer box in flex seal about 12 years ago. It was in the back of a jeep Cherokee. Stored my spare tire on top of it, as well as tire tools around it, etc. It got banged up. Normal wear and tear did not damage the flex seal. I did use an entire case of the stuff, but I was stoked with the results.

for the flex seal spray in the bucket test... do it again but while the first coat is wet, apply a paper towel then add a couple coats after that dries you'll be a bit more shocked... lol

[@MML66]

‏‪14:54‬‏ Yes, you may be right in doing this because they marketed it in this way, but also a person must not give up using his mind, and this applies to all products. Just add a piece of paper, a tissue, or a plastic bag and you will be able to fill the hole with a single layer of paint because it will act as a bridge or something. Covers the hole instead of spraying it into the space

MythBusters once built an (almost) entire sail boat out of duct tape. The seats, rutter and mast was wood, and it had a sceleton of wood to hold the shape of the hull. The rest was tape. They sailed across the San Francisco Bay in it, two grown men.

Love this video hahaha. Fun fact: my cousin-in-law does set design and things like that and is the one who did the sawing the boat in half. He says they really did use flex tape to fix it, along with all the other things cut/damaged then repaired with flex products in the video. I believe him but have always wondered how well it works for an average person who does not do things like this on the daily. I have no idea how this video ends since I’m only part way through but I’m very curious to see if it works for you. Edit: holy shht it worked! Wasn’t expecting that tbh.

[@m_cabral]

Chainsaw bucket holes is probably a bit much for Flexseal but it’s been a godsend for sealing some old decaying window sills and brickwork. Instead of spending too much time using a caulk gun or wood epoxy/bondo some wood hardener and Flexseal is so much faster and just as water proof.

[@wilson2455]

I use Flex Seal for all number of projects, but often you require more than 1 product to do the job e.g. leaky bucket - use Flex Seal tape to cover the cut/defect then use the spray to seal/waterproof it.

[@butlazgazempropan-butan11k87]

I think you were a wee bit unfair on the duct tape safe / table lift. The safe had duct tape stuck about 2 feet on each side and the tape was vertical, the table had 6" - 8" stuck on the side. The excessive angle would not have played a big part had there been more vertical area to tape down on the table. Liked the video, very funny, thank you 👍

_"We're gonna need a bigger boat."_ Or a smaller John. Quick! Put John's Doppelganger in the boat, instead. 😆

[@marcconnery]

The reason the paste works for the barrel is because of the depth and rigidity of the wood., the bin you had had too thin of a cross section tho bind to and the plastic "flexed" to o much for the past to work.. And as I've seen on Fireball Tool, Square angle iron is not very flat, , that's why the used machined steel to glue together

[@TheKZOShow]

[@ft3917]

i think normal white wood glue also can lift a lot, when it have dryed

[@flandrble]

regular wood glue (the wood coloured stuff) is stronger than the bond of the wood fibers, the wood will tear itself apart before wood glue unsticks.

[@MrMartinSchou]

I think the flex paste worked on the wooden barrel because it was wooden, which is to say it was thick and unflexing. When you put it on your plastic container, the walls flexed, which meant a lot of the pate was pushed through, but it also makes the surface area of the hole a lot bigger. The wood would provide an unflexing surface, which makes it easier to seal.

That flex tape only works on flat surfaces. Had a legit issue with the incoming pipe from my well. Sprung a pinhole leak where the galvanized pipe went to pvc. Remembered I had this tape - was actually excited to use it! But, nope. I do think it works on flats well. Love the video - best part of Sunday mornings

[@toddhaines5245]

the 6000lbs worked because the two surfaces prepared and polished like Gage blocks in machine shop when you ring them they bond so with the glue liquid glue that effect is multiplied... look at them in the ad they are mirrors

seems more expensive than an new bucket ;-) the safe was fun to see, I think your workbench is not as smooth, you might want to try it on a fridge or so..car? i think those 2 peces of metal Phil used might have been rare earth magnets?

[@christophers.4007]

yeah but have you considered when you are out on an oil rig in the north atlantic and your only bucket sprung a leak, how are you going to repair it? when the only thing to use is your massive collection of flex seal products? ever consider THAT?

[@Stumpyunicorns]

Good video, but you should have cut the boat in half as Phil did (seats and all). It would be interesting to see if it holds up the structural integrity. That was the only disappointment.

[@DerekKnop]

I've used flex seal to waterproof the insides of mail boxes, to put a seal on teh edge of temporary construction, and to protect tools that are being used in wet environments. It's a good product, I just wish they didn't feel the need to lie about what it can do. Yes, you could layer it up over a chainsaw cut, but that makes no sense and really isn't what it is good at. It needs smaller cuts and breaks.

[@demonsluger]

yeah but if you prepp the hole with just some paper or even grass straws it would seal up quick and nice

[@ct181]

I also had zero luck with the spray on a bucket. I hit that thing multiple times and let dry for days. It never would stop the leak. Yeah Doggy

I tried using the flex seal on my inflatable above ground pool and as far as the inflatable part goes, you're screwed. You have to use the patch from the inside first. A thick layer of hot glue worked better but this was my experience. Im sure it works great against the walls of a pool 😅

[@rolfbjorn9937]

On a properly shop grade prepared surface(reasonably flat and tight fitting, degreased, uncoated, abraded), you can expect at least 2000-3000 psi with pretty much any vaguely decent cyanoacrylate glue. 3000-5000 probably with high grade adhesives. on a 2x2 square, that's 4 square inches...so up tp lets say 8 000 - say 16 000 Lbs. Even with a safety factor of 5 you're above a 1 000 lbs there.

[@doremiancleff1508]

I think paste was failing because container you were using has some FLEX to it (get it?). It was flexing in durning application and back from water pressure, therefore paste was stretchiung and failing. In infomercial the were using rigid barrel, so it wasn't causing this issue. But for a flexible container like that, flex tape would be a more suitable solution.

[@Mr.awesome706]

You can just use isopropyl alcohol to take off adhesive like stickers and decals. Use the highest percentage but that's what I usually use
