Is Flex Tape Weather Resistant?
Flex Tape: Built for the Outdoors
Flex Tape is a waterproof, rubberized tape that can help you make DIY outdoor repairs. It’s designed to perform in harsh outdoor conditions, such as heavy rain, heat, and snow. Whether you’re repairing a cracked surface or patching an emergency roof leak during storm season, Flex Tape is a reliable weather-proof adhesive for fast and strong repairs.
Let’s break down what makes Flex Tape an excellent solution for your toughest outdoor fixes.
What Makes Flex Tape Weather Resistant?
Flex Tape instantly seals out air, water, and moisture. It’s made with a thick, flexible rubber backing and a powerful adhesive that grips tightly to a variety of surfaces, even in wet or extreme conditions.
Here’s why Flex Tape stands up to weather:
- Waterproof backing: Seals out water and moisture for long-lasting repairs
- UV-resistant: Helps protect against sun damage and degradation
- Temperature-tolerant adhesive: Designed to withstand temperatures from -70°F to 200°F
Rain, Sun, Snow? Flex Tape Can Take It
Whether you live in a hot, humid climate or an area with freezing winters, Flex Tape is built to perform. Once applied, it forms a strong, weatherproof seal that holds strong.
Outdoor Uses for Flex Tape Include:
- Repairing cracked PVC pipes and downspouts
- Patching leaks in RV roofs or boat hulls
- Sealing gutters and outdoor vents
- Temporary repairs on car windows or bumpers
- Fixing tents, tarps, and other camping gear
Flexpert Tip: Flex Tape can withstand normal hydrostatic water pressure, but is not meant for high-pressure repairs.
Can Flex Tape Be Applied in Wet Conditions?
One of Flex Tape’s standout features is its ability to be applied in wet conditions, even underwater. That makes it a great solution for emergency repairs on leaking pools or pipes.
Flexpert Tip: When using Flex Tape on a wet surface, smooth out the tape to eliminate water bubbles from the bonding area.
How Long Will Flex Tape Last Outside?
Flex Tape creates a permanent bond and can last for years, depending on the environment and the type of repair. It’s essential to press it down firmly when applying and make sure it’s fully adhered to the surface. Smooth out any air pockets to help with adhesion. Once in place, it will flex and move with the material, preventing cracking or peeling over time.
From blazing sun to pounding rain, Flex Tape is built to tackle the elements head-on and help you get the job done fast.
