Does Flex Tape Fix Real Life?

in today's video we are taking a look at Flex tape many youtubers have looked at this but we want to try it out ourselves and see just what it can do alright guys so several of you recently have commented on wanting to see us try Flex tape now the YouTube community has played with Flex tape extensively but really it's our turn today now you can kind of buy this stuff it comes in a 5 foot 4 inch diameter well that's a lot of damage you're saying we're gonna be trying to repair several things today one of them is this bucket yes it was it wasn't part of the plan part of my plan I got it got a kayak we're gonna take heading a boat in half because guess what guys Phil says that works flex tape is super strong here's the basic idea we have 15 feet of flex tape and we've got a few items that have a lot of damage let's see if we can fix them I think we're gonna cut ours the short way not the long way and the only reason why is because we have 15 feet of this stuff it's very expensive oh my gosh comes in five foot rolls yeah duct tape usually comes in like 45 meter rolls hang on let's discuss this real quick this stuff you can buy duct tape for what three dollars if you're buying your the really expensive stuff flex tape that's it that's how much tape you're getting for like 13 bucks stuff better be freaking amazing and I'm really excited to see so here's the plan I guess we have a bucket so we're gonna test that we're gonna fill those water we're just gonna slap some tape on there lots of people have tried that we want to try it ourselves this is one of my little mini boards some people call them penny board penny board is normally a tiny plastic board but I'm a long border and this is just one of the tiny extra boards I had it has seen better days this thing is pretty much gone it's just the paint job but even the wood itself is peeling up on the sides so we are going to bid my tiny little penny board farewell we're going to cut our I can have like a few other things that we try I feel like we should get started let's do it I already broke the bucket I think we're gonna need more than just this knife to cut the board and the boat in half what do we need making a jigsaw all right you do that I'm gonna take some trucks off I don't work [Music] [Music] wonderful I am the queen of my tiny tobei well we've confirmed that both our skateboard and our kayak work correctly now it is time to cause a lot of damage [Applause] [Music] we doubled the number of kayaks we have in the less than halfs the efficiency and effectiveness of those kayaks [Applause] barely even broken so we've got our board we've got our kayak and we've got a bucket with hole in it it's time to test Flex tape against all of these first up we are going to test the bucket with a hole in it we're gonna fill it with water maybe while just holding it close and then while it's leaking we're gonna try and slap a piece of tape over this and see if we can get it to stop leaking we're gonna do this outside because even if the Flex tape works perfectly it's gonna be leaking before we slap it on and that will pour water everywhere so just knowing that the Flex tape is threatening it is going to keep the leak from happening that might be true so here if you can stand over here on my right okay and then when I put my hand out you can put the tape in my hand and you're just gonna slap and I'm gonna try and slap it on I'm doing my best to not touch any part of the tape so alright okay everyone ready for this yes three two one I will say I'm shocked it even worked even a little it got a wrinkle in it I'm sure it's not supposed to get wrinkles in it we didn't bother to read the instructions guys we just unwrapped it and went for it okay here we go there we go all right slapping it on haphazardly not the best idea carefully applying it working somewhat there's still a little bit of leaking it says that it works even underwater I'm not sure if I really buy that you can still see water coming up the top here a little bits and then obviously it's dripping down here and I think some of that's coming out the side someone's just going straight down the bottom yep so it lasts for a few seconds and then again if you just need to carry some water real quick if you want a hole that size pouring water into like your basement of your house and you could stop it down to only that much well you've got repairs done you've probably been pretty happy with yourself oh you would except it's starting to leak faster now we're gonna attempt to fix my board but my griptape we think that the Flex tape probably won't stick very well to the grip tape so we're gonna try and peel it up put the Flex tape on and then put the grip tape back down so we can still write it I want to try it first going diagonal I want to straight 100 side see if it works and then after that we're gonna try and actually wrap all the way around see if you can fix what you've done mate [Music] well so far it's now upright that's already better yeah and it flexes down but once we have a piece on the other side I'm hoping that'll alright wait if an entire person [Music] this may actually work we'll see I'm very excited to find out all right I think it's time I I start trying to repair this kayak yep you were gonna test you fit in the kayak better than me I'm the only one here who technically fits the weight capacity so you start on that I'll be right back maneuvering a sawed in half kayak is obnoxious so on they've been doing this I put on a swimsuit because in case of in case you have in a beautiful demise all right are you feeling about this um mediocre you a meal probably better about it than I well it's a cool there's no putting in all right let's test out the board let's test out the kayak first test is if we can carry it without it falling apart hey I can carry it's not falling apart I'm even lightly shake it and it's not falling apart that's a good sign hold onto that I'll keep my board let's go out to the street first Street first free purse hitting the streets my two beautiful beautiful Jace porch this is the one that Nate cruelly chopped in half and then lovingly repaired and this is my board that we chose this one this is actually my pedal board to begin with so it's the exact same model exact same style that's even still got the same pattern on the back glorious so now I have to get on this and hope I don't die I'm just gonna start with putting my body weight because we can't take that it's not gonna take me riding on it okay oh hang on wow you're doing oh you can't do any lateral oh absolutely not aha getting better ice okay but I didn't fall I didn't fall so here's how we're gonna do one layer of Flex tape on either side definitely flex what we're gonna do now is we're gonna wrap it around it we get enough Flex tape on this I want to see if we can actually make this writable again hey the needs your help Nate and okay so he gets to buy me a new longboard I'm gonna go fix this it did hold my weight I was very impressed if you were just like standing in the middle it was working but it did exactly what its name and would imply it flexed so the whole thing bent so I wanted to try it this way because it seemed like the weakest way to put the tape on now we're gonna try it a little bit different I'm going to wrap it several times around the board itself get a little bit more structural integrity I want to make this board work again I think our board is as repaired as it can possibly get with tape flex tape or otherwise that's I don't think it's gonna work very well but maybe a little bit better than last time let's go test it again we have I would say seven feet of flex tape on this tiny little board like I don't know guys let's see steered around you all right oh my gosh okay okay okay you can tell this thing is going to die real quick it is not happy about this but it is working I did it okay I'm not bleeding and I kept all my teeth a good day so the tape on the bottom flexed a little too much and the board has lost a lot of support okay but it worked it did work what five ish minutes I don't care it work that's the kayak well our kayak is all tape repaired we'll see if that equates to real prepared in a bit we don't have a whole lot of ocean around here so we're going to be using an unheated hot tub hey guys I'm in a hot tub what should we name this boat before we destroy it the USS Phil oh this right here this is a stopper and it is hissing which means that water is probably filling in the kayak right now I also want to see what would happen if I unplug that if you lean this way a little bit there's bubbles coming out so like just sitting on does it actually feel like it's not holding as well okay oh this is a bad choice you should not do what you're about to do yep good choices made I don't really hear it filling with water but you seem to be a Billy sitting in water it seems to actually be leaking a little bit less now though hard to tell that was graceful well we tried fixing three things and with all three of them I would say the answer is the same about can you repair them that answer is sort of you can kind of bring them back into serviceability our buckets still leaked although much slower or pennyboard you could still kind of ride if you really knew what you were doing and our kayak well it didn't float you say it didn't have nearly the stability you couldn't really maneuver it the same way it felt saggy and so just not what you want in a kayak it's not responding to you so while they may not immediately fail entirely I would say no we didn't actually repair them we just brought them into not completely broke in the state why do you need the other foot on the board I like this way better guys you know we've always got more for you to see click that box up the top check out the most recent video and we'll see you in the next one doctor
