Not bad for an infomercial product
I saw the infomercial for this countless times and thought I could really use some heavy duty tape. First, I have a minor leak in my roof that my landlord was taking forever to fix. Second, I ran over some road gators which broke and loosened some panels underneath my car. Both were successfully patched up using Flex Tape, albeit maybe for a temporary solution. However, there are a few things I need to warn you about with this product:
1) There was no mention about just how sticky this stuff, at least not clearly stated on the packaging. I had gotten this tape stuck to my hands and it was not pleasant. The sticky glue also got onto my scissors and I just could not remove it until I Googled and found that soaking it in rubbing alcohol did the trick.
2) The underside of the tape is coated with a plastic film. Cut the tape with the film attached first BEFORE you're ready to apply the tape THEN remove the film; I learned the lesson the hard way in #1, got it stuck to my fingers, and had a thick layer of glue stuck to my scissors, not to mention effectively wasting a good six inches of this tape.
