Let’s take a look at how Flex Tape performs in rainy conditions, what to expect, and how to get the best results in less-than-ideal weather.
Flex Tape: Built for Wet Conditions
Flex features a powerful rubberized waterproof backing and an ultra-sticky adhesive designed to bond quickly to a wide range of surfaces, and even works underwater.
Key Benefits in the Rain:
- Instant adhesion to wet surfaces
- Seals out water on contact
- Flexible enough to mold to irregular shapes and surfaces
- Great for emergency leaks or temporary fixes
How to Apply Flex Tape in the Rain
While Flex Tape is engineered to stick to wet surfaces, there are a few tips to help you get the best seal:
- Clean the surface if possible: Wipe away dirt, mud, or loose debris—even a quick wipe can help improve adhesion.
- Apply firm pressure: Press firmly and smooth out any water or air bubbles from under the tape.
- Cover the entire damaged area: Extend Flex Tape beyond the edges of the crack or hole for maximum sealing power.
Flexpert Tip: Flex Tape’s bond increases over time.
