Thanks for the honest review. Have an expensive heavy duty hose I’d rather not use couplings on, but guess the flex tape isn’t an option.

Nope. You wouldn't even be able to fix a leaking water line on the supply side. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I just bought some to fix one of my hoses,I think i will be returning it now.

Yep, I can attest to this as well. It definitely does NOT work. Tried this as well 🤦🏼‍♀️ we also bought more and it just bubbled up and stretched to a huge water bubble

buy yourself a fiberfix instead, the one that hardens after 10 minutes in contact with water

I wish I found this video before I tried the same thing. There is no warning on the packaging that it doesn't work for high pressure. Do you know how to remove the flex tape? Also, do you know if normal flex seal spray would work?

The spray is even weaker. Here's a link to new garden hose fittings: amzn.to/3Vn2Ylc

80 to 45 but not sure exactly where mine is specifically

It does work!! They key is not wrapping it all the way around the hose. I have fixed 2 using flex tape but I only put a piece over the hole itself and I let it sit in the sun and get really stick.after I patched it. I do not know why letting it get sticky worked but it did.

I'll have to try that. How long did you let it sit before turning on the water?

I have a short hose going from spigot to water trough. Old hose that has a small leak, but needed to fix because it hooks to a float valve. Put a large wrap around the hose. Made sure I squeezed out the bubbles. Didn’t work. So I will try the small piece before I chunk the rest of the tape.

Many thanks for your video. Unfortunately, I bought into the hype prior to seeing your experience. I too had negative results, even working with smaller holes. I concur with your opinion - garden hoses are not a good application for this product.

Lol. It was kind of cool to see it burst. Sorry you had to learn the hard way, like me. I bought new barb fitting hose adapters that I'm going to make a video of next.

@@becausestuffbreaks Run it in an overlapping spiral beginning an inch or two to the side, then passing over the split to an inch or two beyond. Tear the tape, then do it again in a second spiral going in the other direction. Now, still with some tension do a normal wrap. That should hold it. I have done that on burst car radiator hoses and it held, on multiple vehicles.
