Moving isn’t easy, especially when everyone and their neighbor moves on the same day! It’s estimated that about 130,000 Canadians move on Moving Day. Factor in all the items inside each home, and that leaves a lotta room for damage.

Fortunately, the Flex Seal Family of Products can lend a hand during times like these. Whether it’s making repairs to furniture that was damaged along the way, fixing up a rental in hopes of getting your deposit back, or personalizing your new space, there’s always something that needs to get patched up or glued together. Here are some ways Flex Seal products can help you during Moving Day and future years to come.

Quick Fixes with Flex Super Glue 

Attach House Numbers

A simple change to the numbers outside your door can suddenly give the look you are going for. Luckily, you can use Flex Super Glue to add new house numbers in a flash. It’s a subtle but functional upgrade with the added perk of clearly indicating the correct drop-off location of that takeout meal you just ordered!

Repair Broken Ceramic or Porcelain Items

Moving day can be chaotic, and fragile items like ceramic bowls, porcelain figurines, or heirloom dishes are especially vulnerable to chips, cracks, or clean breaks. Flex Super Glue provides a quick and effective solution for mending these delicate items. To repair, clean the broken surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris, and ensure the area is dry before applying the glue. A small amount of Flex Super Glue Gel along the edges is typically enough—press the pieces together and hold for 30–60 seconds. Flex Super Glue can take 1-24 hours to cure.

Flexpert Tip: When using Flex Super Glue Gel, shake the bottle vigorously toward the tip before use. To learn more about how to use Flex Super Glue, click here.

Fast Repairs with Flex Glue

Simple Doorknob Repair

A loose or partially detached doorknob can be more than just a nuisance—it can compromise your home’s security and daily convenience. When screws no longer hold or internal parts wear down, Flex Glue Easy Squeeze is a powerful waterproof adhesive that can help you fix a doorknob fast.

Start by removing any dust, oil, or old adhesive from the surfaces that will be joined. Apply Flex Glue directly to the contact areas—this includes the base of the knob or any interior mounting components. Press the knob firmly into place and hold for a few seconds to ensure initial tack. While Flex Glue has instant grab, it's best to allow a full cure time of 24–48 hours for maximum strength. This fix works particularly well for knobs on interior doors, cabinets, or drawers where mechanical fasteners are no longer effective or where you want an extra-strong hold.

Fix a Broken Furniture Leg

Moving day puts a lot of stress on your furniture, and it’s not uncommon for a chair, table, or bed leg to crack or break in the shuffle. Instead of tossing out the entire piece or waiting for a professional repair, Flex Glue offers a fast, durable fix you can do yourself.

Start by cleaning the broken surfaces to remove any dust or debris. Then apply Flex Glue generously to both contact points, pressing the pieces together firmly to activate Flex Glue’s instant grab. Flex Glue cures within 24-48 hours. Once dry, the bond is incredibly strong and can help restore your furniture’s stability and function, saving you time and money during your move.

Flexpert Tip: Depending on the weight and stress points, you may want to clamp or brace the joint while it cures for 24–48 hours. To learn more about how to use Flex Glue, click here.

Flex Paste Fixes

Patch Wall Holes

Speaking of larger projects, repairing holes in your walls left behind by hanging décor, shelving, or hardware is another common task for homeowners and renters alike. This is where Flex Paste , a strong and reliable wall repair paste, comes in handy.

Whether dealing with nail holes, anchor damage, or small gouges, simply apply Flex Paste directly into the damaged area using a putty knife or your finger and smooth it out. This powerful paste adheres to many surfaces, such as drywall, plaster, and wood. Once dried, it can be painted to match your wall seamlessly. With Flex Paste, you can tackle cosmetic wall fixes without calling in a professional, saving time, money, and frustration.

Flexpert Tip: Flex Paste can also mend larger gaps, cracks, and holes on various surfaces. To learn more about how to use Flex Paste, click here.

Seal Around HVAC or Dryer Vents

Before or after a move, it’s smart to check the areas around your home’s exterior vents for gaps, cracks, or deterioration. If left unsealed, these openings can let in drafts, moisture, and pests. Sealing these areas with Flex Paste can help protect your home. Apply it around the edges of the vent where it meets the exterior wall, pressing it into any visible gaps or seams.

Flex Paste spreads easily and creates a flexible, waterproof seal that won’t shrink or crack over time. This quick fix helps improve energy efficiency, keeps the elements out, and gives your home a more refined look.
