3 Common Questions About Flex Seal Liquid

1. What Types of Repairs Can Be Done with Flex Seal Liquid?

This incredibly versatile sealant can be brushed, rolled, or poured onto a surface and is especially useful when you need thicker coverage or a more controlled application.

Here are some popular uses:

• Coating roofs, gutters, and downspouts
• Sealing around foundations and basements
• Waterproofing planter boxes or garden beds
• Dipping tool handles for added grip and rust protection
• Creating watertight seals on RVs, trailers, or marine equipment
• Lining truck beds, storage containers, or even flowerpots
• Filling and coating cracks on concrete or metal surfaces 

Available in black, white, gray, or clear, Flex Seal Liquid is perfect for both functional and aesthetic repairs. Whether you’re reinforcing or restoring, it creates a durable waterproof barrier that can help extend the life of your gear or structure.

2. What Temperatures Can Flex Seal Liquid Withstand?

Flex Seal Liquid is designed to stay flexible and strong in a wide range of temperatures, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use year-round.

Flex Seal Liquid is best applied to surface temperatures from 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 48.9°C). Once fully cured, Flex Seal Liquid can withstand temperatures from -80°F to 350°F (-62.2°C to 176.7°C).

That means whether you’re using it in the summer sun or in colder conditions, this liquid rubber sealant maintains its integrity without cracking, peeling, or breaking down.

Flexpert Tip: It’s always best to apply Flex Seal Liquid on a clean, dry surface free of grease and oil. If applied during heavy rain, some of the product may wash away. Therefore, we recommend applying it 24 hours prior to any heavy rain, hail, or snowfall (if possible).

3. What Is the Coverage of Flex Seal Liquid?

Coverage depends on the surface type, application method, and number of coats, but here’s a general idea of what you can expect:

• 1 Large 16oz – up to 18.75 sq. ft. (1.7 m²)
• 1 Jumbo 32oz – up to 37.5 sq. ft. (3.48 m²)
• 1 Giant Gallon 128oz  – up to 150 sq. ft. (13.9 m²)
• 2.5-Gallon MAX 320oz – up to 375 sq. ft. (34.8 m²) 

The smoother and more porous the surface, the more efficiently Flex Seal Liquid spreads. Keep in mind that multiple coats may be needed for deeper cracks, textured materials, or added strength. It’s also important to allow 24 to 48 hours between coats for proper drying and curing.

Flexpert Tip: When using Flex Seal Liquid Clear, multiple thin coats help maintain a transparent finish while still forming a strong waterproof seal.

Whether you’re patching up a leak, protecting surfaces, or customizing your own waterproof barriers, Flex Seal Liquid gives you the control and durability you need. Its powerful waterproof formula, long-lasting temperature resistance, and solid coverage make it an incredibly effective sealant for your projects and repairs.
