What Happened When We Tested ‘Super Strong’ Flex Glue?

  • UPDATE: After Inside Edition's report aired, the makers of Flex Glue sent the following video response: www.insideedition.com/how-effe...
    The Flex Glue commercial looks incredible: a super strong adhesive that can do it all. But does it really work that way? The TV commercials show Flex Glue lifting more than 1,000 pounds, working underwater and even gluing an entire 4x4 together. Inside Edition went to the Grove School of Engineering in New York City to get some help from two professors, chemical engineer Raymond Tu and mechanical engineer Ali Sadegh. First they carried out the cinder block test. #InsideEdition

    “Just like they did in the commercial.”
    In the commercial, they had one guy who was rather strong. You brought in this scientist from Harvard, a reporter that can get on people’s nerves at times, and one guy that probably does bench lifts during the family movie.

    I'm legit thankful this glue was made and that it can hold after a full week of curing. I'm curious if it can do just as good as welding for metal, a small bumber bar glued to a hitch frame would avoid welding and if it holds I'd be impressed.

    Wow.... for the most part "Flex Glue" seems to work as advertised! Have used the liquid form of "Flex Seal" and it works excellent!

    "The commercial you see all over TV" Actually I've never seen flex tape commercials on TV, only on CZcams.

    The reason the mini 4x4 did not hold up was because the parts were smaller than in the ad shown in the video the bars were believe it or not smaller than the ads probably because there was not enough space
