Flex tape is not working too well
What's up you crew today, we've got an exciting one for you a great review
We're gonna check out if this flex tape can really hold up to the chainsaw bucket challenge
Let's get to it right now check this out come on
Alright guys, so we've got the Flex tape let's go ahead and open it up see what it's like
alright, so we take all this junk off
I Tell you what this is
How do you even get in here ah I see it here we go, so we'll just pull all this off
Beside and we're gonna really see if this stuff holds up. I mean they're always telling you that it works
I actually want to see does it work, so you're gonna see the knife test you're gonna see the chainsaw tests and
the drill test
Okay, so if you can actually see that it comes in this roll look how deceiving that is
Not a lot of tape looked like a ton in the package. I'm kind of disappointed
Not a lot so it's actually got a film layer to it, so we're gonna peel off this little film here
And I guess what you're supposed to do with the instructions say is you just slap it on to?
Whatever space you need it to be on so we're gonna go ahead and do that
But let's drill some holes first alright guys so first thing. We're going to do drill test
We're gonna see if the bucket can hold up to this
We've got our big hole cut we've got our flex tape cut to size like I said, we've got to peel off the plastic
So there we go. That's off now. It's ready to stick on any
Surface it says so what we've actually done is we filled up the bucket almost halfway with water
We're going to dunk this tape into water to see if it really works or not so come over here
Take a look inside guys. Let's get it all what we're gonna
See they say that we can do it underwater, so let's see we're gonna smash it on there
alright
Alright now. Let's switch around to the front guys
Let's pour a bunch of water in here and let's see if this holds up
Now we're going to pour the water all the way to oh
Do you guys see that?
It's dripping
Let's keep filling all the way to the top really get some pressure on that guy's
It's not like the commercial. They said this wasn't gonna drip at all whatsoever
Let me guy show you guys a little bit, so I'm gonna wipe this off
everything's dry and it's coming through the bottom right here I
Don't know what's up with it. Let's
push on it a little bit oh
You see that
Some water driplets are coming through at the bottom
That's not I would have put my life on that. I wouldnt guarantee my life guys
nope, it's coming through the corners here and
It looks like it's completely flat against the back
So I mean right now with the test on the inside. I mean I would say it's like at a
99%
But over time that's definitely gonna get you
Alright guys, but I mean you could poke it you can jab it pretty hard. I'm not busting through there at all
I mean, I'm poking it it's still not breaking it
But I am getting water coming through the seam down here alright guys, so I'm gonna change my 99% to 100%
we've had it on for about ten minutes now and
Nothing is coming through so I think the first drips that we got when we shot it
I think that was actually some residual water in the cracks, but come check this out
Nothing look at all this water in here, and it's it's holding up like you guys just saw it nothing's in there
We've been poking it from the backside
Poking it pretty hard nothing and no water now come back to the front with me
After all that poking watch guys I can poke here try to jab that
Nothing's coming out
so I'm gonna give that a hundred percent if
It's on the inside of the bucket now the real test though is how's it gonna hold up when we slap it on the outside?
Ripping this stuff off is a nightmare whatever they put on this it works. Pretty well
I mean I'm a pretty strong guy, but that is not coming out of there guys
We might just have to cut around. Oh there we go
There we go
So I mean it does the job as you guys can see
but
you're not going to get a second use out of that so don't plan on using a lot you're gonna have to spend extra
$13 and get another roll so the tape held up with it
Inside with the water pushing against it
Let's get to the real stuff though, and let's see if it will hold up to water under pressure
You guys ready for this we got our tape peeled we got the bucket half filled up here
It's gonna squirt out, so give us a minute all right water you ready here
We go D. 1, 2, 3 put the water and put it in Oh!!!
Guys
Did it work let's let's take let's take a look now. I'm gonna dry it off so hang on with me right there
Let's dry it out and let's see guys. That is not working
That is not working at all. It's dripping out down there a little bit
it's coming out ah
Not quite like the commercial and this is where it's coming from guys it gets these little creases
and
That's what it's coming out of. Every product gets a fair review, so what we're gonna
Do is we're gonna redo this we're gonna gonna rip this one off
We're gonna put some water back in here, and we're gonna see if it works
This is what we noticed when I slapped it on there. Here's our hole
There's kind of the whole divot so we're right on the edge
So we're gonna see if the water leaking out is a user fault now
This is test two we're gonna give it another try all right D. Ready 1, 2, 3 let it rain. Oh guys!!!
not working
Guys that didn't work
so well as you see it fold it the
Second the second we went to put it up there it hit it and it folded so
I don't know could be a user error again. This is take three
It hasn't been as easy as he made it look in the commercial just a quick slap on there and it worked
I mean, I think at this point we'd be better off just getting a new bucket alright, so here we go
We've got it pulled off. This is test three to see if it's really gonna work. Alright D, are you ready for the third time?
All right, let me get my hand see it sticks everywhere all right here
We go three, two, one drop that water drop it. Let it rain, baby. Here. We go here. We go here we go
All right guys as you can see it's all crinkled up at the top didn't really get it in again
It fold it. I mean that's been kind of a problem with it is the
Second the waters jutting out at it, it wants to crinkle over. All right guys
We're going to put this bucket to the ultimate test. We're gonna put another drill hole in here
We're gonna do a chainsaw hole and we're gonna drill some holes into the bottom see if it holds up because don't you just hate
When you hit your chainsaw against your bucket
Alright guys, we got a pretty big cut here
I think that's gonna do the trick let's go ahead and drill some holes into the bucket
One drill holes probably not enough
Guys something we notice with this tape and I think this is what keeps causing the leaks take a look at this down here
Now this is an ideal condition that we put it on a dry bucket. You can't really tell much
I don't know if you can, but it's got all of these ripples and creases in it
And we couldn't figure out what it's coming from but it's actually coming from the roll
So the way that this is rolled on here guys you see these nasty creases you get
all these creases
And no matter, how good this stuff is water is always gonna find its way out one of these crevasses
But let's give it a test, all right view crew we have got our bucket all taped up and all cut up
So here's the chainsaw cut we did now we put this on completely dry to give it a fair test
We've got eight holes drilled into the bottom of this bucket because you know that occasionally happens
And that's the tape on the inside
so we're gonna see if we put it up here fill it up with water and
I sit underneath it if I'll get wet I'll tell you right now. It's it's leaking it's leaking
I'm not trusting them not trusting them. Yep. It's coming down
it's coming down a little bit now the
Eight holes right here that we drilled in nothing's coming out of it our side chain saw a hole
Let's just say don't chain saw your bucket because it's not going to work now
Let's actually take a look at it because it is getting pretty soaking wet down here. Just as we suspected those little crevices
Water pouring out of it and when the buckets got a lot of pressure
Doesn't work so great so actually what we're gonna do to give this a fair fair fair
Try is we're going to patch the inside as well right above this, and we're gonna see if it actually works. All right guys
We've got the patch going on on the inside now. We've got a big massive one here
Let's hop down and let's see it's still leaking and I think it comes from that same issue we talked about with the creases so
Honestly, it's not looking to good
Not looking to Good for the water bucket test at all
All right guys after all those crazy tests if that was helpful for you at all go ahead and hit the subscribe button down below
Now as you saw in the commercial with water jutting out try to slap it on there
Don't even think about it. Not gonna work. Well trying to put on the inside of the bucket
Might work other than the only place that it actually worked was down below where we didn't get any water coming out
With it on the inside now for view proof
flex tape is a no-go
Let it rain
Guys not working!
I Don't think it's gonna fix that so let's go ahead move to another bucket. I dont even think flex tape can fix that one
