Flex Seal

A lot of people on here use PL Roofing cement. Lowe's sells it. I have used it to fix leaks in liner as well as repairing a cracked stock tank.

Thanks for the iinfo. What does PL stand for? And is this sold in the area where all the other glues/adhesives are? I will look for it.

Think its the trademark. Its usually in the roofing section at Lowes.

I'm in construction and stay away from roofing cement to fix anything. It easily degrades and does not hold up over a long period. If anything it works horribly on rubber roofs ie. modified bituminous or epdm and it is the last thing anyone should ever use to seal any kind of rubber. Right now my favorite caulk/sealer is NP1. I just used some NP1 to do some sealing around my house and it is great stuff.

Thanks, I will check into this one. I did see on the roofing cement info. that it is not for use on epdm.

Barb. I'm not sure if it is for rubber. Typically we burn down rubber strips or flashings when fixing rubber roofs but that is something for an experience d roofer to do. I just really hate roofing cement on rubber as it wrecks it.

Have you seen the TV commercial where a man cuts a metal rowboat in half, then uses Flex Seal tape to join it together again, then use in the lake? Well it works! I had to join two pieces of pondliner together, used Flex Seal tape, and it works just great. And works underwater too, but mine is out of the pond. Works way better and faster and cheaper than standard EPDM pond liner tape. And the Flex Shot clear adhesive works perfectly on the leak where the hose goes into my filter box. All stores carry this product now. Do you think they will give me product endorsement pay now??? Great product!

Agree with

Agree with Meyer! Time! Hopefully UV or peeling isn't a problem. Rather go the difficult way if I know it's the right way, not that this isn't!

I will certainly report back here after some time goes by and I see how the Flex S eal works. I have the tape and also the sealant on the epdm, out of water. And covered with rocks. I will be prepared to use something else later on if necessary.

So far so good, no leaks at all.

Still holding great, the tape and the glue. Both have been through multiple freezes and thaws. Both are out of the water though, and receive no sun. I am still liking it.

I recall your original posts. How long is it now? and does it remain flexible? Sounds good!

 

[BarbO]

I did the job about Halloween time, and it seems just the same now, flexible and unchanged.

I have used flex seal on the connection between the waterfall and the liner for about 3 years. No issues. I've also recently used flex seal on a pond inside the house with no fish. It sealed at least 3 leaks even through tile. I'm a believer.

I just tried the Flex Seal spray on a stock tank with multiple leaks. 3 applications over 3 days. Still leaking! I will say it was applied over PL Roofing cement on 2 of the leaks.

just checking again that this product is safe for fish.
I'm going to try to repair the crack on my canister filter
FlexSeal inside and waterproof gorilla tape on the outside.
It's for Laguna pressure filter, but it really not much pressure on the tanks that I can tell.
