I remember when OxiClean came out and my grandmother said yeah it’s just hydrogen peroxide I’ve known about that since the twenties. She also noted it’s limitation’s about cleaning grease stains.
only works on organic stains. wont take road tar out of a shirt.
@@stevensenlacere1619 my grandmother used lestoil on tar, works like a charm. smells funny and can be hard to find but works amazing.
OxiClean is something like 60% hydrogen peroxide, and the rest is sodium carbonate, aka washing soda. The stuff you put on cuts is about 3%, and I think the stuff for bleaching hair is about 10%. Fortunately the washing soda stabilizes the hydrogen peroxide, otherwise you'd have something extremely hazardous to handle.
For reference, the rocket jetpack the Air Force developed in the sixties (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Rocket_Belt?wprov=sfla1) was powered by, I think, 70% hydrogen peroxide which decomposed when it hit a catalytic screen in the nozzle. A lot of spacecraft have little attitude control thrusters that use the same principle: concentrated hydrogen peroxide hitting a metal screen with a catalyst.
The washing soda is alkaline and should saponify greases and fats from food, etc, but not mineral oils and greases..
OxiClean is mostly sodium percarbonate, which when added to water, decomposes to sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide.
I liked Octagon bar soap. Liked the fragrance, universal uses and I made liquid hand soap out of it. Now it's discontinued. 😠
Flex seal wouldn’t seal a gutter for me.
My favorite experience with flex seal was when I was in the Plubing supply house and the guy in front of me has the whole continuous waste and trap off his double sink and it has duct tape and flex seal sprayed all over it. The guy says “I got a little rotten pipe right there.” The counter man throws a box containing the whole kit on the counter and says “15 bucks.” The guy say “No I only want that one pipe right there.” So the counter man opens the box, pulls out the pipe, lays it on the counter and says, 15 bucks. The guy gets all PO’d and says “now you are trying to rip me off.”
The counter man says, Don’t worry, when you come back after you can’t get that crap apart and cleaned up, I’m going to give you the rest of the box free, you just don’t know you need it yet!”
Why would he cheap out like that? He probably spent more money and time putting bandaids things than fixing them.
I have a neighbor like that. He keeps asking me if I have any JB weld. There's a reason you never see that stuff used in a mechanic shop.
Now that right there...
That's funny!
I don't care who ya are!!!🤣
Some people like making small repairs into lifetime projects... lol
@@ColinTimmins Why not make an entire boat out of it?
@@ColinTimmins The guy I bought my house from! Everything he did skipped simple, cheap and obvious things which mean problems develop requiring the entire job to be redone. And a do over is never simple or cheap.
My last project using flex seal was just yesterday. My wife wanted me to fix a leak in the roof. After three months of her telling me to fix it I finally used flex seal on her mouth! My roof still leaks but it's so quiet here..... Oh, the police want me to talk to them... Look forward to your next video
You win comment of the day. You are now in the running for comment of the year!
LOL CLASSIC!!!
Got to use flex paste lol.
If they used that in the infomercial every married man would order 10.
"It can save you THOUSANDS"
Gorilla tape may be a little more expensive, but you get double the length, so it's actually cheaper.
TRex actually out performed Gorilla in the Project Farm testing.
Agreed you get east you pay for with duct tape.
I’ve used the black, the white and the clear. I think they are all significantly better than anything the competition produces, including 3m.
I used it on a tree wound, the tree grew back its bark, also used it to seal the insects out of an old wound on my parents Huge black walnut.
Baking soda and mineral oil. Mix to a paste. Apply to wound. Let it dry. Cheap and works fine.
I love black walnuts!
I use pine tar for tree wounds, available at tsc
I used flex tape to seal a leaky sunroof on my explorer 2/3 years ago, and it's still holding strong. prep is key for sure, you gotta get everything CLEAN!
Why pay THOUSANDS to fix it correctly when you can spend 2 seconds to just kick the can down the road.
Why spend the money to hire a contractor?
Just get the job done right with flexseal.
Sounds like congress
Because MERICA BIRCHES!!!! 🦅🇺🇸💥
Because you can be paying thousands and still not get it done correctly.
I used it to fix cracks and tears in my old Miata rag top, because I just didn't have the money/time to replace it. $12 for a can versus $400 for a new top. Lasted years before I gave the car away to one of my kids (a mechanic).
A goober I know used some to "seal" several holes in an old aluminum Jon boat a year or two ago. It worked very well for about a year (the boat, under his ownership, was stored in a garage) but he was a lucky duck, so to speak, to be a good, strong swimmer when two of the bigger holes "blew out" while he was fishing in the middle of a large farm pond on his property. The boat WAS recovered....Thanks to two swimming and diving fool teenage sons and a Ford farm tractor equipped with a front mounted winch and a lot of cable....He has since had the old boat professionally repaired with aluminum patches and uses it for fishing in his ponds and a couple of local lakes.
The key is easy: Halfway good products, a charming and funny presenter, and a company that understand memes and uses them (and not being pissed of by them).
I used the black spray on my outside foundation walls. Looked good at first. Within a year, the black faded to a dirty whiteish chalky look and by year 2 it was pretty much all peeled off.
@Ron That happens pretty much with any type of spray without UV additives.
Story reminds me of Simple Green. My dad worked in the chrome wheel business. I remember as a kid going to Hacienda Heights to see a guy that made a chemical in his garage called Nicklebright. It was blue in color. His name was Joe Fabrizio. Years later one of his sons did a infomercial with Simple Green. He was on a tarmac and actually took a drink to show how safe it was.
As an RV Technician, this stuff is straight evil.
OK i'm admitting to being naive here... Straight evil because it is an improper repair, or does not work, or works so good that it puts you out of work?
@@cinocrossed609
Doesn’t work long term and is a pain to remove and fix correctly.
@@Jay73425 I could believe that very easily.
It damages the membrane
As an rv tech aswell i totally agree,i tell customers labour will be doubled as it is a PIA to remove.
Project Farm CZcams channel did flex-seal comparison testing with perma-seal and other.
Just when I thought I've seen everything on the internet I come across a bear talking about tools....
Not nice to talk about his looks! He is a little sensitive bout it. Lol
Maybe we all can get a clear answer does a bear s**t in the woods ?
@@wolfwolfenstein5537 DUH ! is a bear going to break into someone's house to use the John?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@timlarson7228 If a bear takes a dump in the forest does it make a sound?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree. What a dork.
Their tape sounds similar to Eternabond, which I've used successfully for many years for quick repairs on EPDM roofing, and flashing.
Let me know when the come out with flex hair for my bald hair.
Give the Gorilla Glue lady a call.
Maybe Chia Pet could team up with flex seal and you could paste your head with the crap and go take a shower to get it wet. People could watch your hair grow right in front of them.
Ron Popiel has that cornered with the hair powder spray.
Contact the bikini line wax parlour.
Used the gorilla version of flex tape because lowes had it at the same price but with twice the amount. Gorilla was a little stiffer, not as pliable, but seemed to be a little more aggressive adhering to objects. The end result was the same for both products. Id pick whichever is cheaper every time
Bear since COVID I went from being a cook to the custodial/janitorial service and the “deformanatzor” might be something we use on carpet cleaning, is an “afterthought” product it’s really to remove lazy over foam! Anyways I feel that that stuff is like a super strong Downy fabric softener.
Flex Seal liquid gallon for $89.88 or Henry's sealant for $9.97/ gallon? Hmmmm. There's a sucker born every day.
Compare the roof of an RV being repaired to a couple hundred dollars worth of Flex Seal
Somebody has to pay for those ads!
Henry's sucks ! Always cracked in the sun ☀️ I used flex seal liquid and I would never use anything else 👍🙂
Bought a gallon of Henry "rubberized wet patch" (mastic/tar) at lowes for $40. A day later I saw that the same stuff, but different brand is in walmart at $15.00 a gallon. Pays to shop around.
Submarine Sealant $10 gal
Back in the early 2000s I had a pickup on my FedEx route of something called "Blue Fire" it was literally salt rock with blue food coloring in it to melt snow. Suckers are born everyday!
Tell that to Walter white
I sprayed Flex Seal in the water pan of my CNC Plasma build. It's been holding water for over 2 years now and still no leaks. This stuff is great!
I used this stuff to build a "catbox room" in my garage with a doggy door from the house. makes life easier with cleaning and keeps the house from having any cat box odor. works great for that.
Fluid Film was what I used on my plows, snowblowers, and snow shovels. Fantastic stuff.
i think fluid film is great and really lasts as a lube and i use it a lot, but it's to pricey to use for your uses,, at least for me..
@@darrellwolf5638 I used it in a commercial application and in my case, it sped up the shoveling and snowblowers especially, by them not having clogged chutes and shovels. It only got applied to a plow if that storm had particularly sticky snow. It does make a difference over 19+ hours of service. 👍
Darrell Wolf *too pricey.
I use to always keep a tube of Eclectic Products Goop in my automotive tool box.
I think all formulas should be UV stable.
Usually bought at Walmart.
Comparing it to "duck tape" (not duct tape) is exactly right. It's a temp fix, but really expensive if you add it all up for medium to large jobs. It's like rebuilding an engine with nothing but an adjustable wrench. It "can" be done, but the end result is a lot better when you use the RIGHT tools for the job. If a tool or product does Everything....... it does everything half-arsed.

The gorilla waterproof tape is amazing I have use that to repair a liner in my pool with water in it @TheDenOfTools
I did my pool liner as well with the flex tape while the pool was full
@@specialK_hvac thats cool
I did also!
I feel like it sticks a little better then flex tape
I like most gorilla glue, tape etc they work very well
I have an Imagine TT. I had to fix the heating duct underneath the floor. I pulled the bottom off fixed it and then put it back together with the screws and flex tape. It was great! It sticks unbelievable. It looks much better underneath now than it did before.
I added a metal roof to my patio. Used the roll on flex seal to seal the screws through the metal.
It's been there 4 years with no runs, drips, or errors.
Used 4 inch flex tape to seal a top radiator hose on my 94 Chevy pickup. Got me home 180 miles in the middle of the night when nothing was open.
I'll keep using their products whenever I have a place for it..
Interesting video, thanks for sharing!!! 👍👍👍👍
Plasti-dip was in the whole Earth Catalog
That’s all needed to know
Loving it since the early ‘70’s
Patch and seal is good. I used a rubber coating of a different brand for the roof of my shed.
I always though of flex seal being rebranded automotive undercoating I used to buy in spray cans at the auto parts store years ago.
That's exactly what it is, I worked in an aerosol plant that made it, undercoat + mineral spirits.
I've removed chunks of frame from 10 year old pickups and that undercoat or zbart will hold water in and rot everything. That said I know undercoating will hold water so i never paid this product any mind
@@workingcountry1776 I'm a lifelong air-cooled VW enthusiast, and I can say with 100% conviction that every example I've found that was once undercoated or "Ziebarted" was a complete rotted out shitbox. Any that were left in factory paint were many times better off.
early 2000's I was buying a TDI "New Beetle" and I walked away from several dealers that applied their own undercoating to the cars before they were sold. Said they wouldn't honor the corrosion warranty if I didn't agree to it. Well then, BYE!
Brian Wittling best under coating kerosene and motor oil put in a garden sprayer and coat underneath occasionally....but keeping clean during winter especially is important I spend more time on the under carriage then the out side during the winter that’s where rust starts at.
@@danbailey96 this is such an absolute fact that most wouldn't ever imagine was!
I have used the spray, glue, roll on and tape. Used the spray as a base layer paint for a scooter. The glue I used on my boat for the bilge. The roll on I used for weather proofing the chicken coop roof.
I had a 97 jeep TJ up until 2018 and back when I had a soft top, I had a couple of very small rips and I had to wait for payday to be able to buy replacement canvas top. I used a can of this flexseal and it worked like a charm. It lasted about a month actually.
I used flex seal liquid on a cracking lawn mower seat... Actually works great... But it adhered well to the foam under the vinyl but it did come of where it was stuck to vinyl instead of the foam.
So it would probably be better if the vinyl was removed entirely.
Oh yeah I also sprayed the flex seal inside my tile saws water pan. Works great! I think that all the fails that I have read are more likely lack of preparation (and then of course maintenance) .I have great results. Again prepping is first priority. Dry time is second. And as for the tray of my tile saw I rinse out at the end of each work day. Had to replace the tray on my first saw after two years because it rusted through. I neglected the daily maintenance and paid for it. Now my trays are sealed and maintained
Great content as always keep it up
I have a few vintage 1970s steel Coleman coolers that are cracked and leaking around the drain plug. I'm wondering if the spray flex seal would be a good way to repair that?
I painted the tired vinyl top of my '85 Diplomat w/ a self-mixed blend of white & black FlexSeal liquid to match it's original grey about 5 yrs ago & it still looks great! On a car that sleeps outside! (my garages are reserved for my '60s Chryslers)
The stuff in paint cans is my favorite, I fixed multiple kiddy pools and stock ponds for my ducks and geese with them and also sealed some small leaks in a few of my under 500$ boats.
What's a good rubber seal for a wooden deck in the weather? Because I don't know what would seal to wood. Thank you.
i coated an iron entrance to a store with flex seal brushed on it settled out nicely and is still going strong after eight years approx.no peeling no cracking.
There's been a version of flex tape out since the early 70s that is used to fix the coating on Pipelines for industrial purposes to keep them from corroding I used to have cases of it and a friend of mine that owns a tire shop uses it to make patches
You have to try Chemlink sealant. We started selling this where I work. It is the toughest caulk I have ever seen. A form also comes in a roof pitch pocket version that comes in a bag that can be poured into a form. I'm not affiliated but truly impressed. It's inexpensive also. Keep up the great videos. Thanks, Tim
use PAM for snow shovels, flex underwater tape is 5' long gorilla underwater tape is 10'
So after falling and breaking my leg in the bathroom, I purchased the sandpaper tapes with built-in glow strips. After a full winter night, at 5 in the morning, you can still see the following floor.
I probably wouldn't do a spray on, but glow products done right last a long time. I would certainly consider it for an outside stair of there wasn't good lighting.
I've used Flex Glue to fix some wood trimming at my mother's house. Works great!
I have used the gorilla underwater tape unless they changed their formula since flex tape came out when I used it years ago it didn't hold for squat
I used the flex shot to seal some weather seal on my car
It worked but was a pain
A good neighbor of mine had a swimming pool filter that had a cracked filter housing. She watched these flex seal commercials and bought some and asked me to apply it. I applied it to the inside of the filter housing exactly as recommended, waited the times for curing etc,. It leaked just as bad as it did before. I finally told her to get me a tube of regular silicone sealant and fixed it for a third of the price she spent for this product!
Dip your car is amazing. I've used tons of there products. Plasti dipped my truck and 2 motorcycles.. the colors are endless
What about POR15? That stuff is hard to beat, but extremely expensive.
Not FlexSeal but a product that seem to be used for other than intended purposes is DIY roll on pickup truck bedliner. I did my back stairs in it and am quite pleased with the result. It goes on black and then I painted it with a specific patio paint. It has made it so far through the first winter with no deterioration. The can though actually states this as a suggested use.
Is it good to use and a waterfall I have a concrete waterfall and the water just seeps into the concrete going into the my coy pond is it safe to use 👌🏽🍻🥃👍🏼
Thanks for providing the neet info about flex seal @TheDenOfTools
I wonder if people actually think that flex sealing or flex taping a boat is a permanent solution. When I seen the commercial with the screen door in the bottom of it the first thing I thought was if it will do that long enough to float the boat for the commercial it would probably work good from a job you would actually need it for.
I used a quart to coat the underside of my riding mower deck and it works great. no rust and the grass washes of easier.
Used Flex Seal Spray on some cracks in the bottom of a plastic tub fixture. Used marking pens to match the color of the tub. Taped off the area around the cracks. Multiple levels of spray. Worked. Used Clear. That was over three years ago. Tends to turn dark after time. Time to replace or paint.
Used the Flex Seal Paste. Difficult to mold and keeps the shape as soon as it hits the surface. The containers are at least twice as large as volume.
Spray cooking spray on a shovel so snow does not stick.
Hi I'm in the UK , storm sure works well but needs 24 hr cure time , and sika flex used for train and bus window s , isopropyl cleaning and long cure times .
Regards
I've used the Rustoleum version of Flexseal on rain gutter joints that leaked - they still leak so I'm not impressed.
There were several companies that sold similar products as DIY spray in bed liner in a can.
I used to use this stuff on subwoofer boxes to give it that black textured finish.
I used flex seal on my metal roof after a tree fell on it an punctured tiny holes my son didn't notice and seal with silicone. I'm very thankful for it. Planning to use it to cover all my roof this year. 2 years ago I used it around the vent pipe for the sewer...I had rain coming down into my home. Not any more! I'll check it each year to make sure it hasn't shrunk or cracked...but it sealed my rusted roof portion so nicely. 2 gallons and the end of my house has no more leaks, it looks lovely, and the snow slid right off this winter. I am pleased with the gallons of it.
The tape? Not so much! I used it on my ancient motor home. It peeled off and did not hold. Not so good a product, in my humble opinion.
The spray? I used it on the roof of my motor home. It bubbled up, left gaps. I did not care for it at all.
I'll stick with the liquid type used on my home roof. I put it over the spray style and sealed the roof of the motor home nicely. It's worth the money, in my humble opinion.
Blessings!
Phil is following in the footsteps of Billy Maze, probably the greatest pitchman of our generation. Billy was part owner of that Oxiclean stuff he was always pitching, and it sold like crazy. Eventually they sold the entire brand for hundreds of millions and it was that valuable because Billy had pitched it so well and made it a household name. Phil has done the same with his product and now it's everywhere. I've seen it for sale at convenience stores, grocery stores, auto parts stores, everywhere. It would not stay in those places if it didn't sell. All credit to Phil for that. I hope he's made a fortune off it. RIP Billy Maze.
LS pitch man or con man ? But definitely a junkie
Interesting I didn’t know Maze was part owner.
I sealed the inside of my roof next to the heater and another place that was leaking from the roof with Flex Seal. I used the clear aerosol spray and the wood has a glossy look to it now. We haven’t found any leaks when it’s rained since I finished that project. 😁
I have a 35 year old house with hardboard siding.The lower boards started looking not good. Cleaned them up, let dry good, got the spray, did two medium treatments over a week and repainted. After two years it looks like new.
I watch a lot of Project Farm and they test items like this. If anyone out there needs some advice, Todd is your man of what's good out there and what's a waste of money and time.
Yup Project Farm is where it's at for stuff like this.
Of u do however buy plasti dip from autozone...please make sure u know if your vehicle is 2wd or 4wd
They must know the make and model too, or forget being able to give you a part number and price.
I've wondered how different the flex seal spray actually is from spray-on rubberized vehicle undercoating. They seem equally messy!
Flexglue is also available in a hobbyist size squeeze tube, I've used as an adhesive\sealant on the roof membrane on my 5th wheel camper with great results
Thanks. I have used Plastidsip for years. And as recent as last week. Thanks for the info. Wanted to send you direct message but can't find out how. I bought the ercules mitrre saw because of your recent review. I joined the Inside Track club as a result of your recommendation. Your reviews are detailed, factual and straight forward. I search your channel wheb considering purchasing any tool
Every flexseal I've looked at, it says multiple coats may be necessary
To cover themselves, peeps will jump onto any chance to screw you
A bear saying “gloopy” has earned this channel a sub! Great work training the bear to do that. 🐻
You said it right, use a product made specifically for the application. Captaining is serious business and boats can’t afford a product unproven to endure. I’ve used this seen on TV product and there’s good reason the marketing was needed to push this non-specialized, non-leading, non-cost effective, over-hyped product bought by the millions who still haven’t found the right way to fix their leaks. As a boat and RV owner you are part of a crowd known for over spending due to inconvenient circumstances with luxury adventures. If they did the same level of marketing that 3M does for their similar but specialized and truly innovative quality products Flex would likely not sell much based on product reputation and industry word of mouth alone. Especially at what is it now $20+ a pint? Btw, your videos, the bear and your well scoped sound and seasoned research and opinions are enlightening, many thanks.
I used the clear flex spray. It is ok if you have 72 hours to wait for it to dry?
Flex tape is amazing been holding the side of our work trailer together for 3 years so far lol
Used the Flex-seal gel tube to seal up a leak in a skylight at a former house. It hadn't started leaking by the time we sold the house!
Silicone works for your plastic snow shovel, however after about 4 shovels it’s gone. It be great if the winter wax works longer. I haven’t tried some kind of car 🚗 polish.
I used the flex seal paint when repairing the floor near the door in our old house. due to the location of the door rain would get in if you left the door open or when walking in would wet the carpet and in turn the floor. it rotted away so I cut out and replaced the wood and coated the entire area in flex seal. and it put a good 1/8th or more thick coat on top of the wood which then was covered with padding and carpet so you would only know it was there if you pulled up the carpet. I feel like it made it more solid sounding. I liked it.
I agree with the commenter who says flex seal is made to sell not to last. My experience with the spray on stuff has been disappointing. Seems to slowly wash away in the weather.
I have found a use for the liquid however & that is to coat battery trays (automobile, tractors, etc) with it. Seems to work well. It is not solvent resistant however. Tried to coat the bottom of my parts washer to seal pin holes & it wrinkled up like paint with paint remover! Threw the washer away.
The big question on my mind for Flex seal products is how long with the seal last. Again, I've been told various stories about "it is for temporary use only"....yeah, the truth is out there. Shine on Mr Bear !
I put flex tape on the knees of my winter work bibs to keep my knees dry. Stays on even after washing.
Is there a product that can be applied to a wet surface and still stick? And also hold when under pressure from a swimming pool pump?
happened across the video thanks for the tour on flex seal👍
Is the Flex Seal spray much different from the rubber undercoating you can buy at the auto parts store?
Im in Texas and as the water thawed it built up pressure...Not used to the Artic blast we got, didn't think of turning the water off on my washing machine...Why oh Why did they make the connection to the washer plastic and the connection hose metal...Anyway it busted off and I am about to use Gorilla Glue Gel and Flex Seal tape to try and repair it till I can figure something else out...
I use spray cooking oil for wheel wells, snow blower chit, snow shovel and TV satellite dish to keep ice n snow off during the winter here in the Pacific Northwest. $1 a can an works for a few weeks, then reapply.
We used the liquid flex seal to fix a leaky baptismal that had not been used for 27 years. We lightly sanded it, cleaned it, then applied 2 coats. That was 2 1/2 years ago and the once leaky baptismal (it had many large leaks and some small leaks) now works great! I would highly recommend the liquid flex seal. I have since used the spray can flex seal to fix some drips in our gutter before selling the home last summer.
Maybe god healed it?
Wow I didn't realize they had so much different products 😳 @TheDenOfTools
I used the spray can to seal a leak in my above ground pool while it was leaking, it worked but it was not easy and took a lot of spraying, but it did eventually stop leaking!
U can Spray Cooking Oil on Shovels and Snow Thrower Chutes, to Help keep them Unclogged.
U just need to Respray as Req'd.
I have used it’s not flex seal but other silicone rubber in a can and love it it doesn’t dry out in the tube is bad
I use it as a sealant on outdoor projects. It’s a wonderful termite barrier .
i bought an over priced can had a flat roof leak. it seemed to seal as it went on. next day went to check it it shrank and i had to get roof sealer after all that?
Love your video's man , what would you use on a tarp full of pin holes
A new tarp. But, i'd use flex seal in a pinch.
We use flex seal spray to coat the inside of r/c car bodies. It keeps the thin plastic bodies from cracking so easily. I've never used the stuff to "fix" anything around the house.
Does flex seal work as a hair spray as good as gorilla glue? Asking for a black woman friend of mine.
For calk and thick body adhesive, I'll stick with a regular tube that drops into a calk gun.
wtf is "calk"?
I agree as dap caulking compound for sealing siding for painting is awesome. Never used flex seal crap for that
I tried flex tape on a rusted through horse water trough. Did not adhere to the galvanized surface, wet or dry. Disappointed.
I used it for a plumbing roof vent pipe worked great !
Could flex seal be used on a leaky gas tank on a car?
I’m a chemist in industry. This is a brand with many reworked ideas, but the core product appears to be an SEBS rubber lacquer. Not new at all, but with today’s regulations on solvents the aerosol version of many of these products stand out. Comparable water-based products need good conditions to cure. 25 years ago local paint stores had similar products in cans and a clerk who worked with them. Today’s is big box, TV and videos and they serve a purpose. If you have a big job there are usually commercial analogs that often much better, but finding them is hard.
Take Gorilla tape, it’s good. But in roofing we have something called eterna-bond that’s much more aggressive. Both have there place and I have both in my RV tool bag.commercial coatings are not too different from Flex Seal in a can and more solids and will last longer. I think they go back to 50’s.
X100 for Etrnabond and its primer!
Let's not forget Sashco's 'Through the Roof' sealant in brushable and trowel grades.
