Great home maintenance repair using Flex Shot to caulk all of the cracks and adding Flex Seal on top to create a flexible coating will surely be a strong sealant that will protect! 💪

I used the flex seal gallon. Great stuff I just poured it on the roof and rolled it out it’s been two years on my rental property and it still holding up.

Big shout out from NY, the big guy left a clause that states us single handy men can still work on whatever (I did check and make sure with the health dept), but the sheriff just sent out an advisory that only essential work. So well, plumbing and electrical jobs here I come. Sadly I wish I could charge half of what you charge, then maybe I could take time to do the things around that need to be done. Oh well, The Big Man upstairs takes care of me, so who am I to complain. Love the videos here and on the HB channel keep them coming.

#1 in the world 🌎 I like this mans confidence. Subscribed.

I had a client call me a couple of years ago when Nor Cal was getting hit with a lot of rain. He had bought a can of the roll/paint on for a skylight above his music shop. I loved it from the very beginning, easy to use and works great. Doesn't dry out a quickly as the Henry's. I have used the spray can for my camper trailer roof. As far as keeping busy, we are are still allowed to do essential repairs and work inside essential places of business. So I have been staying somewhat busy with emergency services like plumbing leaks or code enforcement repairs. At home, finally getting to all the routine maintenance projects I tell my clients they should be doing and organizing the shop.

Bought house 2 weeks ago, doing remodeling in whole house, finished attic, installed recessed lighting in each room. Got waterproof bathroom ready for tile, finished spackle today. Next will be sanding and prime. Also planning to do Vinyl laminate in whole house accept bathroom. Hope 3 more weeks and can move in. Hope soon pandemic will gone and we will get back to the normal life! Stay safe!

I'm actually glad to see this. I used the flex seal spray on my chimney and it worked like a charm!

The #1 KZfaq channel in the world 🌎 gotta love it 😂!

I have a quarter sized hole in my workshop roof from a fallen branch... Used flex seal - about 4 coats and no more leaks ... Nice!

Thank you for recording and posting this educational video.

Hey Handyman, I fixed a shingle roof on a rental(I’m the tenant) in Florida with the tape and spray on top and it lasted the 8 months I had left on my lease during the rainy season. Would not recommend long term but it kept us dry since the landlord wouldn’t fix it.

I love that flex-seal lol...it works pretty good on quick and minor roof repairs! Don’t wait 2 years to re-apply tho or finally replace roof! It must really suck sharing a unit(s), and your neighbours aren’t concerned about their investment, or treasured belongings that dwell below that leaky roof 🤦‍♂️

Freshened up two bath rooms with ceiling repair, new paint, fixtures and outlet plates. I also replaced an exterior door and storm door. Keep up the great content. Love the channels.

My brother and i removed and installed new patio door for mom,i used pvc trim around it a 1st for me little different to work with special screws and little plugs not too bad.😷make sure you wear your mask Handyman🍻👊

I have been lucky enough to land a month long job where I am in a condo by myself. Scraping ceilings, dry work, painting, electrical and plumbing. Much of it is not considered essential but since I am by myself 100% of the time it's like being at home.

As long as you're not near or bothering anyone else, you should be able to do any household projects you want to.

My state is under lockdown as well. Cannot leave unless it is essential. I do not believe that we are in the same state though. I am in the midwest. My job allows me to work from home so that is good so far.

This may sound crazy but I bought a flip car and had black vinyl seats that had a torn area and I used that on the seat and it worked awesome

Nothing changed here in Texas... Same 'ol same 'ol, different day. Sighted in an LCO on the AR pistol and tested out new Dawson fiber sights on my carry gun. :) :)

Started making drawers to hold tools in my truck, maintenance on some tools and organizing garage and building shelving to hold leftover materials. Would love to start building pole barn but can't get cement trucks to deliver right now.

We have a similar lockdown in the UK....

I just finished building a custom hand-tool wall cabinet and will proceed in the next few weeks rebuilding my kitchen cabinets. My back-splash is nice, my granite counter-tops are nice, and my cabinets are terrible and need replacing.

Updated our kitchen backsplash while on call from home!

We have a sod turf grass sales business. Landscaping is considered a critical industry here in Georgia, plus with all the folks stuck at home, homeowners are ordering sod to complete an item on their honey do lists. So we're swamped with sales at the moment. When we have time from that, I'm remodeling our master bath/bedroom, repairing some electrical and changing out the ceiling fan in the living room, building additional shelving in the basement storage room for my wife and putting up a shiplap walls and vinyl plank flooring in my man cave/visitor bedroom, completing insulating, running electrical and putting up plywood walls in the rest of the basement for a woodshop and finally, when that's all done, I'll install a bathroom in the basement (plumbing is already run). As a side job, we're putting up a country style fence outside to keep our nearly grown labrador retriever teenagers from wandering the neighborhood.

No toilet paper? No problem! Just Flexseal your butt!! 😃 I live on the border of 2 states. One is allowing general hardware & garden sales. The other clamped down hard today, due to growing spread - $$$ penalties for outings except for mandatory work, groceries & urgent family care. (Keeping busy doing household, yard & vegetable garden stuff. Esp going through accumulated garage junk to repair & refurbish things for creative garden & yard use. And enjoying the solitude. Stay well Handyman.)

We've used Flex Seal on our garage roof, We use the can and it has held up. We replaced out drain valve on our 24 yr. old water heater. Next is replacing our fill valve on our toilet. Our state hasn't gave a stay home order yet.

I own a roofing company. I’ve repaired roofs for 15 years now and find that home owners use this crap on everything. Why they think spraying hairspray on a roof works is beyond me. Also, I love your channel. Here for the fun! Thanks brother!!!!

at home installing baseboards! First time coping the inside corners instead of standard miters

Still working building decks......home wise doing a little painting and cleaning and sealing concrete.

Fixed a customers pound with flex seal lol, Installed a patio cover ceiling fan with light kit and wireless controller, installed recess lighting and a hallway fixed a Formica back splash and sites Flash, Tore down an overbuilt shed 3 loads to the dump, two loads of concrete reinforced with rebar.

I'm classified as essential. Work 4 on, 4 off. On my off days last week I built a hall tree/chair hybrid out of two solid 28" doors. This week was a hidden gun safe in the wall of my bedroom. Looks like a body mirror but its packing. Next week, pressure wash and paint the exterior trim.

I’m a essential worker and I still have to out in this mess helping kidney patients to and from their appointments. Also any doctors appointments and to and from grocery stores for those who can’t get there on their own. Trying to be safe as possible. Love your channel

That flex seal spray reminds me of the rubberized undercoating for vehicles the way it kind of bubbles when it hits the surface

Gardening is essential if that is your food supply.

North Carolina is about the same in regards to essential. Home Depot is still busy with people although they have restrictions on how many folks are allowed in the store. I’m staying busy with wood rot projects mostly. Exterior repairs.

I was fortunate enough to get supplies before the lockdown went into place. Building 6 base cabinets and 11 uppers for a kitten remodel. Clean and modern look. Nothing fancy.

Haha unessary trips aren’t quarentine permitted but Immediate severe home weather prep is permitted as long as property owners are receiving money for paid sponsorships! Thanks for the video, I’m actually going to use this to temporarily extend my parents roof life before having to replace old shingles and roof frame from a sagging leaking farm home built in the 70’s

dear lord that flat roof needs a lot of love. it needs about 2 full days of labor love. pressure washing the crap off, roofing cement and fiber tape all seams and parapet wall seams and stacks. come back following day and silver coat that entire thing. come back following day and do 2nd silver coat. come back and maybe even do 3rd silver coat. that chimney needs a lot of love too. it always baffles me when property owners neglect their flat roofs. torch down modified bitumen flat roofs are tough cookies, but they require love every 3-5 years. treat them right (ie keep seams sealed and silver coated to prevent UV rot), and they can last decades.

Re-organized garage storage and tools. Hobby woodworking: drawer/trays for TV stand/cabinet; shelves for closet storage; dart board cabinet; simple "teacher/school" theme stool.

Through the roof sealant, its the best ive ever used , smells like airplane glue but it seals gutters, shingles thats about all ive used it for

Would like to see that Flex Seal this time next year and how well it holds up.

I was joking with my husband I needed an experienced handyman in Bogota D.C., Colombia. The apartment complex administration beautified and repaired many things and believe it or not, managed to recreate an ancient leak (and bigger) discovered soon after I had received this as a brand new apartment. Getting ideas to repair from below, from the bathroom.

Hey Handyman, in order to stay sane during this CV crisis because my wife’s driving me crazy 😜 I rescreened some torn panels around my pool and also installed vinyl flooring in my garage . It looks like a hardwood floor only a lot cheaper !

All trades are considered essential here so I been working. Just another day for me. As far as home projects go been framing in and insulating my shop.

Flex Seal?? Handyman! You’ve sold your Soul....🤣👍

I have ha feeling you work in the DC area and the weather there is crazzzy...

Just catching up on the honey do list. Lucky I had a lot of material in the shop to use.

For concrete cracks repair only coating and spraying is not long lasting using a 6 to 8 ounce cloth bandage will extend the life of crack treatment and water resistance. You can also review some techniques we provide

Flex seal is amazing stuff. Pricey, but amazing

super impressed by the way the flex shot filled that gap...

Hello, Im fixing up behind my TV, hanging my game on the tvmount and dealing with cabels. Then fix and store winterstuff.

THANK YOU SOOOO...... VERY MUCH! 💚💜💙💛

I used to use that sticky tar tape for windows and doors along with a bucket of black jack to “repair” my flat roof... that was long before flex seal...

We don’t have any restrictions where I live. I actually replaced an exterior door yesterday and got paid through Joist and never meet the owner other than phone call and text. Kind of interesting to me that I never had to meet her in person. Honestly, I like it that way 😂

Need to add a little flashing over that mess....hey job security...awesome video

Wow! That flat roof covering is deteriorated and should have been replaced years ago. I appears to be bitumen and when it looks alligator skin it’s time! LOL! I’m personally still working a little and hoping business picks back up because I’m going nuts.

This stuff is the greatest and I’d paint this on roof or anywhere. Also Ames rubber for basement great

Good video, handyman ☺👍

Our hardware stores (Lowe’s and Home Depot) here in the Memphis,TN area still look like a busy Saturday every day of the week.

Do not know the code where you are but I have done roof recover using peel/stick and hot mop methods. Placed MBS slope builder on low spots and applied new flashing, pitch pockets, and gaf roofing membrane. 3 years and still no leaks or separations.

Made work bench from scraps. Paint bath tomorrow.

I painted the exterior of my house and trying to get gras to grow. Now ... Time for the inside to be painted. Thanks for the info

Also, you were winding your watch as you were shaking the can, nice.

I've used flex seal for alot of roof repairs. Only temporarily until I could fix it the proper way. Let me know how long it last.

Flex seal must be a good sponsor to use on your own house

I bought 20 gallons of paint 3 weeks ago and I'm painting my house, caulking windows, cleaning the windows, cleaning and repainting the outside light fixtures and I'm pretty sure the US economy will have recovered and covid 19 will be over with before I'm done.

Hi there! Desperately need to patch a leak on my roof. We live in a trailer, so the roof is pretty much flat where the leaks are. Would this method still work?? Pls lmk! TIA 🙏

Oh crap // Mom's roof leaking // perhaps I didn't tar a vent good enough 5 years or 6 years ago The grudge / mind my spelling .. was done a year after in winter with the fence being done in spring ..

In Ohio there is no enforcement of so called Essential labor or repairs. Neighbors are having decks built, landscapers are cutting grass and outdoor workers are not wearing face masks or any social distancing control. I have temporarily closed my Handyman business due I do not want to enter homes and I will stay closed till end June or longer. The projects I am doing at home is repairing one wall then painting, installing a AFCI GFCI circuit breaker, planting flowers and grass. seeding, mulching , laying pavers, installing more smoke and carbon monoxide detectors since new code wants each bedroom to have one, building a wood frame to prevent large garbage bin and recycling bin from blowing over, from high wind gust. And cleaning and organizing garage , basement and shed. I am now tied just thinking about all this work!

I live in GA. We’ve been repainting several rooms around the house that we’ve always wanted to get to.

Hi! Just saw this video, have a leak through polycarbonate panels on our backyard pergola, going to get flex seal spray and the caulk... thanks for creating this content!🤙👌

Metal screen and a hose clamp will take care of your bee problem. What have I been doing? Building shop stuff... chopping wood... installed a gate at the bottom of my driveway to keep the nosy neighbors out. Shooting randomly when they drive by so they know I mean it.

Eh I prefer Henry's 208 rubberized roof sealing it's cheaper than that canned flex seal.

Rushing to finish a gutted apartment i started a couple weeks ago, completed friday. I'm sure my state is going to have a stay at home order soon. Trying to work and accumulate as much money as I can until then.

I’m still working, although we’re having jobs postponed by the customers now because they don’t have the money

The governor deemed existing real estate was"essential." Fortunately I had a house already pending needing inspection repairs. Unfortunately he also deemed that new construction to be eventually sold is not essential. However, under the "spoilation; prevent damage" clause it was essential to get it dried in. So that is what we did. Now there's nothing to do. So I'm trying to finish a storage shed at my house.

Muy Chido su Video Amigo!! Gracias !!!

We have the same rules. But buying plants is essential for my well being.

How has this flexshot & flexseal worked over the months you have done this repair? Is it really “that good”, as I’ve never used & kinda afraid to. Usually go with caulking tubes with roofing “tar” along with exterior caulk & use flashing etc...to repair siding & roof leaks. Never have used the flexseal products & am curious to know if they really do work & “last”. Would be nice to see an update vid from this vid too see just how well it’s doing. Thx for the vid & seeing these products. Cheers✌🏼

I am installing a Bamboo floor in an empty house. Not mine. Flooring was ordered before the shut down. Nobody is home, so in it goes. I've never taken so much time and carefully measured each angle so much. It's like I don't want to finish too early and have to go home to sit around.

Hey Handyman! Are you going to put the galvanized parapet wall panels? or is that something you only do when installing new roofing? I'd be interested in seeing footage of that if you are including this with your repair! thanks!

What's the flex seal drying time?

Been a roofer for 45 years. The flex seal in a spray can doesn't last very long. The rubber flex seal in a gallon can is all right. If you read on cans not for use by professional roofers. Buyers beware .

I used some flex seal on a vent on my roof that was leaking a couple of days ago. I stuck a WD40 straw in it to work with it. Had to do the work on the underside of a gable roof that had a huge pitch. So far so good

Not working on anything cause NOT going to hardware stores here on Long Island. We are at critical mass right now, but this is going to continue to roll because too many dopes don’t/didn’t self distance or act like this is the flu STILL 🤬

Hey Handyman! You need to teach me how to spray that fast, would save a ton of time!

When my wife and i got married we bought our first home, it had a flat roof. The home was a row house. It was the worst mistake i ever made . The roof leaks where suck a pain. I had it repaired so many time but did not last. So we had a new roof installed. And that would leak every few months or so. We lived there for 16years and sold it. We have a house that has a regular roof lol. I say never buy a house with a flat roof.

Hey Handyman I'm from Washington which with the orders they places they are similar to yours. I've been catching up on some custom cabinets , shoe storages and American flags people have ordered.

This was helpful.

I built a fence gate for my fence outta scrap I found in the back 40 then cleaned my whole workshop and built a squat rack🤫

How have your trades been going?

Someone reccomended flex seal to me recently. I'm living in a rental trailer. The owner wont fix or pay for fixing many things. Cant afford to move. Water comes down the wall, into the windowthrough the wall and...the electrical outlet below the window stops working...flex seal is worth a shot...but where do i put it to get the best use of it...happens when it rains or snow melts.

Nice sub

I work for a major paint brand, and where I live, paint falls under construction making us essential. We're open for business and busier than ever! Everyone is painting to stay busy at home

This stuff works on plumbing… I was very surprised.

Do you think it would make a difference to spray paint or coat the Flex Seal after? I was thinking this could help protect it from the sun.

i have used flex seal on my camper roof and what i found is that the sun breaks it down and it turns to powder, so i would not use it for roof repairs

Flex seal is great stuff! 4 yrs ago, my wife's car radiator sprung a leak when I was at work. I had a can of flex seal in the backseat don't remember why. Anyway, she sprayed radiator with flex seal, then went in store for groceries. Still have not changed radiator!!!!! Luckily the leak was visibly on top where she could get to it. Great stuff!

I thought you were gonna spray the Flex Seal into the pipe where the bees were!!! It had to cross your mind......just a bit!!!
