FLEX TIPS

For maximum adhesion on porous surfaces, using a standard hairdryer will help the adhesives bond with the surface.

Flex Tape's bond will increase with time and pressure. Continued firm pressure will help increase adhesion.

Once fully bonded, Flex Tape cannot be repositioned.

Flex Tape adhesives may resist bonding to some plasticised or waterproof materials, siliconised, greasy, oily, dirty, or porous surfaces.

Certain fabrics such as canvas, nylon, polyester, synthetics, cotton and some other materials may need up to 24 hours to reach maximum hold.

Q: If I'm using it to patch an above ground pool, is it best to apply it to the inside or the outside of the pool?

A: Both! Flex Tape forms a super strong bond with itself, so if you're patching a pool, it's best to first apply Flex Tape to the interior side of the pool wall and then place a second piece of Flex Tape to the exterior. Remember to cut your Flex Tape larger than the area of the leak. You do not need to drain the pool prior to applying it. Flex Tape is a temporary, emergency repair and is not meant to be a permanent fix.

Q: I'm trying to adhere it to fabric, but it's not sticking. Is there anything I can do to prep the surface?
