    A weakness can be a strength, and vice versa. ie The fact the gorilla tape is less sticky can be a good thing if it means you can reposition it or peel it off more easily. Same with the stretching. Also you get twice the amount for the buck. Gorilla wins overall if you ask me!

    I used Gorilla patch and seal for my Rv roof. I like it better than flex tape because it has more flex and stretches better plus you get twice as much for the same price. I do recommend if you're using it for a roof patch to make sure you clean the area well and honestly using a putty knife to push it down is helpful too but I feel like it's a better product all around.

    The Gorilla Tape stretched but then returned to the original length after you set the weight down, which comports to your early on comment that the Gorilla Tape felt "rubbery". The Gorilla Tape would have won hands down if it had the same adhesion as the Flex Tape. The fact that you pulled the backing from the Gorilla Tape easier demonstrated why it didn't stick quickly. Good test and fair evaluation. Thanks for the comparison.

    Thanks dude, I have a pretty big drain pipe leak under my kitchen sink so this demo was helpful in showing that while one brand may be a bit better than the other both of them work. Providing my issue can even be fixed with adhesive tape, temporarily or not, something I am really hoping will be the case because otherwise I'll have to buy a new counter as its rotting underneath, sink and piping which we all know will lead to new cabinets and drawers etc. and I don't want to spend what little money I have left (emphasis on "little" thanks to covid causing me my job) redoing my kitchen.

    In Wisc we have property and have a trailer and behind trailer we have a large vinyl garage that we store mowers, ladders etc inside. One year a heavy tree branch fell on it and punctured the vinyl garage, and left a hole w a tear about 4x7 inches. Various patches would not stay, but about 2-3 years ago I bought some Flex tape and applied it from inside of vinyl garage and the hole was on the curved area of the vinyl garage. I applied a large strip of FlexTape w about 2-3” excess past the hole on each side, And I have to say I’m very happy with the results! Worked excellent for my purpose. Tried some on roof of our trailer though but it did not stay. Maybe flex paste would. I may try that next.

    Actually there are A LOT of variables in trying to do testing like this. How big the hole is and how deep the water is make sure you difference and pressures and what not. So doing a test in a bucket isn't going to relate to a hole in the side of an above ground pool towards the bottom cuz there's crazy amount more pressure and weight pushing down on it. Good preliminary testing regardless so at least I have an idea of what I'm looking at now so thanks.

    I used Flex Tape last year. I had major difficulty trying to cut it because the glue from the tape stuck to my scissors and also to a knife I tried to use. It was also next to impossible to start peeling the backing off. I was using my fingernail to try to separate the backing. I finally got the backing off, and the tape is still holding over a year later on an inside project. But edges of the tape are starting to lift up on the outside project. I also tried the liquid on a metal shed roof, but it wouldn’t spread. I think the metal was just too hot. The temperature was in the nineties and the roof was in direct sunlight. So I didn’t finish the shed roof, but I’m going to try again, now that it’s cooler outside.

    Used the clear flex tape to repair the rips and holes in my boat cover. So far so good. I will say this, 5 feet of flex tape goes very fast! an extra 5 feet of Gorilla tape for the same price is a huge advantage especially if you need a lot.

    Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for this review. I am a person who loves DIY projects and was looking for a strong and waterproof tape. This video was extremely helpful in making my decision. I will definitely be using Flex tape for most projects however. I will also keep the Gorilla tape around as an alternative if needed. I do find it very interesting how the Gorilla tape was able to stretch. I was thinking that while stretched it may stick faster with out having to hold it until it sticks. Just curious. Thanks again.

    Thank you for this demonstration Jeff. I definitely feel flex tape is worth trying on the slice I accidentally made in our plastic pond liner while trying to trim silicone away from a drain that was sealed to a hole made in the bottom of it. Do you think that this tape could be shaped around the drain, to ensure a smoother surface, for a flat rubber plug to rest upon? I used a lot of silicone to secure the drain. I also tried to repair the slice I made, with additional silicone. Would the set silicone applications need to be completely removed, before taping with the flex tape, for a proper adhesion? Or could I work the flex tape over the silicone as it is, and still achieve the seal that I am hoping for?

    We have used both and they both work well and when applied to a dry prepped surface there is not difference. Other than the "Flex Tape" is twice the price as the "Gorilla Tape" (Per foot)... We now use the Gorilla Tape since it works much better for sealing trailer roofs since it is more flexible and found the stiffness of the Flex Tape during the hot summer months starts to leak... Whereas the Gorilla Tape adhesive will seal better after it heats up..... And it's 1/2 the price of Flex tape...

    I have a flat roof that has Gaco silicone coating on it. It developed a few cracks and was leaking. After watching your video I went out and purchased one roll of each. It was barely sprinkling when I attempted to make the patch. However I made sure that I wipe the area down with dry rags and also sprayed it with alcohol to facilitate the water evaporating. It certainly wasn’t completely dry but there were no drops of water. Sadly neither products worked at all. In fact when I went to rub them down they kept moving because they did not adhere. I will try it again on a sunny warm day but as far as it’s sticking to moisture that did not happen in my case. It may be because it doesn’t stick to silicone.

    Hi Jeff, Thanks for the comprehensive review, it's always better to see real-world tests than ones done under lab conditions - as I'm sure the manufacturers base their advertising on. I am looking for a tape to run along the plastic strip that sits beneath my car's windscreen (to get the rain water to run over the plastic instead of finding its way underneath and getting into the pollen filter), I don't want to use silicone sealant as the plastic part needs to be removed to swap out the filter. Any recommendations of the best tape to use (either one of these or a different one?) Ideally it should be clear, but black would also work. As you may have guessed I am in the UK by the way, so am hoping Flex Tape, etc is sold over here.

    I've used both since the review in wet conditions and they both did well. I will say flex tape is sold in clear. The main disadvantage to flex tape is you get less of the product from the same price. In the end both of these tapes are only a temporary fix. Eventually they will come off or a leak may form. Thanks for checking it out and I hoped it helped.
