I tried Flex Seal on my Roof it lasted 3 weeks and Srunk and Cracked I spent around $300.00 and wound not ever use it Again!
Try these in a car tire to see if they'll fix a puncture???
Compare Flex Seal ($13/14oz) vs. Dollar General's brand rubber sealant ($5/10oz). I used DG's brand on hairline crack on top radiator on my old car and so far it's held up.
@@brandiminor1632 You got that Right never Again some guy told me it was good to use
I think there is application error. Where Perma seal sprays on much more slowly you have more opportunity to aim it and get it in the void. So when you move on to Rustoleum its clear and may get more heavy application cuz it's harder to see and you used black not clear or white for the Flexseal so it's coverage may have been the least/thinnest application of all three. Also each test may not have been ideal for the type of application which is why Flexseal made other products for different situations. The very first thing in the Directions on Flexseal say, "For best results use multiple coats" in all capitol letters. When Phil Swift turns a antique truck into a submarine or screen door bottom boat I don't think he used one coat.
I know this is an older video so I'll go check out the next "Spray on seal" comparison video and see how that goes.
Flex seal works best against boats that are sawed in half.

I hate it when my boat gets sawed in half.
It's flex tape...

I SAWED THIS BOAT IN HALF
These test where very scientific. I used to work in a material science lab as an organic chemistry researcher. Each test you provide, including the scraping test at the end where you showed the viscosity of each adhesive, was exactly the type of test we'd perform in a lab setting to give feedback on well something performed. Very well done.
Thanks so much!
please tell me the lab name....
I'm a big fan, but I think that the bucket leak test was largely testing product application.

You are so welcome!
i am actually glad i stumbled upon this, i just ordered 13 cans of flex seal spray to coat my split-rail fence, as it seems paint and/or lacquer are good for just one season. the flex-seal went on in a thick, drippy coating. i hope it is about a 5-year coat. then again with the way of the world nowadays, we all might not be on a 5/yr guarantee.
Some of might should not even buy green bananas...one of my dad's old jokes...
Is Project Farm the best versus the competition? Well, I try not to have bias in my tests, but I’m confident in saying that Project Farm outperforms, educates, and entertains better than all other competitor products!

Thanks!
I would consider these products to be more like an emergency repair until whatever can be fixed correctly. I wonder how they would compare to JB Weld's line of products.
Great point! I should checked to see about JB Weld's products.
I love that Idea. Especially as a gasket material. Only problem is cure time.
JB quick
We had the oil pan cracked all the way across on our 977 track loader when it was stuck in a stump when the belly pan caved in. we cleaned it and spread JB quick across the whole thing. took A LOT we bought out several stores and fixed it in a cut over and used the machine to bend the pan back right. that was 17 years and a somewhat minor fire ago and it's still works like a new 1000$ oil pan!
JB weld and quick are a far cry from some aerosol spray rubber
Without any hesitancy, JB Weld. The sealers probable work best when covered and not disturbed and for large areas.

Can you compare which AA batteries last longest? Duracell to Energizer to harbor freight brand + many more
Great video idea! It's coming. I just spent around $100 on AA batteries. Testing 10 different types of AA batteries. it'll be a few weeks before the video is ready.
Ok thank you !
I am a work on an asphalt crew paving interstates mostly at night and sorta have did the battery test using all! Rayovacs are the worst and the harbor freight alkaline batteries are just as good as everready and duracells alkaline if not better,! And you get alot more for your money. Now thats the double aa and tripple aaa's we use in flashlights and headlamps! Alot of people give the harbor freight batteries a bad rap cause they get the cheap non- alkaline ones the give away for free!
That was my 3rd grade science project. I won 4th place
This hjas actually been done multiple times. Generally, Amazon Basics are some of the best performing, and cheapest you can get. Anything labeled "Heavy Duty" is usually a Zinc-Carbon chemistry from the 40's (?), and always much worse than any Alkaline.
Also, the Amazon Low Self-Discharge are cheaper and perform about as well as top tier Eneloop for rechargeables.
Not sure you want to waste test time as this has all been done before.
I can smell this entire video
lol. Nice!
Can you smell the anger of rustoleum?

Definitely enjoyed that. Flex seal just seems to be a ridiculous tv product but if I needed something as a quick fix and that is available sure I'd use it till a permanent fix could be done. Thanks
Thank you
Always love your videos and unbiased content 👍🏻 thank you
My pleasure!
I'd actually like to see you recreate some of the 'demonstrations' from the tv ads. What you'd be testing is advertising claims.
Great recommendation! I'll try to do that when I test their glue.
@@ProjectFarm I want to know how they cast Flex Seal into that cake pan to make the thick slab. I tried that and it just made a bubbly mess.
l had good luck with flex seal fixing tire beads, great topic and video as usual,
Hi Mustie1, I'll have to try it for that! Great recommendation. You've got a great channel. Thanks for checking out the video!
I just use chassis grease. If you don't mind that sort of thing.
@Rick Simpson Usually all my sillycone is set up so I just lay the gun grease to it. I'm already greasy anyway so it don't matter and it kills the rust and softens the bead at the same time. And you can always get it off!
That is a good tip, Mustie. I always used spray paint and seat the bead while still a little "green," but that didn't work on the small tires on my tiller, for some reason. Neither did dum-dum. Gotta try the Flex. I've used it with good success on roof leaks, but it was the paint on, not the spray can.
Brake fluid works well on fixing beads that have small rim leaks.
This channel is one of the most useful channels ive ever found. Thank you so much for all ur hard work and dedication.
You're very welcome!
@@ProjectFarm im curious if u could maybe do a test on what is the best hook blade for a utility knife. Like ease of cutting, longevity, etc. The blades i use for cutting roofing.
agree
I love this kind of stuff. The time and work (cost???) to perform this test is impressive and extremely informative. The only other test I would really like to see would be a longevity/weather test. Subjecting each of these products with a single application to the most common repair (i.e. roof leaking around flashing perhaps) and see how long each holds up in heat/cold/ice/rain etc. over time would do the trick. It's definitely something that would be a deal breaker rather than what works best initially. Awesome demonstration nonetheless. I think I've made my decision. Thank you!
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
I kind of did that already, I put a tarp over my small garage and covered the entire thing with flexseal, more than three years later, that stuff doesn’t have so much as a crack or tear in it as opposed to if I left the tarp untreated, it would have torn to shreds in less than a year

Thanks for the review. I think I will be looking for Flex Seal or Perma-Seal. I have an old truck that was wrecked once and whoever did the bodywork on it did not put a sealer in the seams where the fender and floorboard meat the firewall. I have fixed most of it with silicone and a rubber putty spreader but there are still a leaks that I can't get to where a spray like Flex Seal or Perma-Seal will probably do the trick.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow, thank you!
Used Flex Seal spray to seal leaks in my 94 Honda's windshield and was very happy with how well it worked and how easy it was to get the overspray off (that happened a few times when making the repair.) Great product!
Thanks for sharing.
I'm making a diy roof rack for my van and I'd like to use one of these types of products to paint the brackets and washers to prevent vibration between adjoining painted metal surfaces from chipping the paint, which down the road will allow the roof rack to rust (I'm using a galvanized steel product for the rack). I think I've chosen rustoleum, based on your tests. Thanks so much, this video really helped me get a look at the properties of these products without having to buy them for myself and using trial and error or guessing which product will best suit my project!
you should have used the flex seal and custom made your own gaskets to seal that rack. once its hardened its actually nice
You should have your own tv show doing this sort of stuff, I would never miss a episode 👍
So nice of you!
100%. There isn't a wasted moment, PF just keeps great information coming and doesn't have silly filler (unless filler is what the episode is about).
Mike Rowe beat him to it-Dirty Jobs.
Its nice that you put the price and the size of the can but can you add the unit price. In other words make it so that its per one ounce unit. Also many times I'm able to listen to your videos as I multi task so the more you put numbers on the screen I miss out on some valuable information and that would be super helpful, maybe if you can include some voice over work if that's not too much trouble? Either way I always thumbs up, and I stay subscribed with the bell rung because the amount of work you already do shines through! Its amazing the amount of thought you put in these videos, your methods of testing are always very creative and effective, I was super suprised during your saws all that you had people questioning you about how much weight to add. I know that you probably considered it heavily before performing the tests and rather than be insulted that they would even question it you included the thought process behind the experiment in the next video, cudos!
Great recommendations. Thank you!
This would be a great idea for all future videos really. Though it's still not accurate in application. Two products will have varying amounts needed for the same job/performance. Too hard to measure: Cost per application.
agreed, i listen sometimes while doing other things. So i miss out on the audio for prices, whos first, and that stuff.
