    I bought the clear Flex Seal and watched this video again to spray like you were spraying. I have a smaller area 8" in diameter and maybe 3" deep where angel sits. This is the area that it is leaking from, so keep your fingers crossed that this will work on my particular surface. I will put another coat on in a couple of days like you suggested. Being clear it is hard to see if it is covering my cracks, but didn't want half of bird bath one color and the other half white.

    That stuff works great for a while until the summer sun bakes it a while then it peels off like a rotten bannana peel.I used several cans on a leak on my tin roof on my solar cabin and I eventually pulled it all back off and used the rubber roofing sealant from Lowes.Maybe it will work better under water.Good luck.

    I sure hope your results are different. We used that stuff on a metal roof around some skylights and a few seams on our church over in S'port city. Guess the heat got to it but it turned brittle and hard and just cracked and peeled after a couple months. It turned really crusty and would scrape off in little powdery balls. Really weird. Good Luck!

    You might have a goldmine there. I had a little mixed breed dog named Pat bad in the day and he was an excellent squirrel dog. Yeah squirrels were food for us we didn't have much money so what we grew, caught or shot was pretty much what we had to eat. Anyhow, a few people had seen Pat in action and a man showed up wanting to use Pat as a stud dog with his girly dog that was also a great squirrel dog. I don't know how the pups turned out because I was going to college and working but apparently a good squirrel dog is worth there weight in gold, or something anyway. LOL.

    HMmm so the ROI is gonna be tough for the finance committee to explain. It cracked me up when I saw the commercial where the guy put a screen door into the bottom of a boat, and sealed it. That would have been like 35-40 cans. He could have just bought another boat. Seriously though, I like the idea of stuff like this, it will be interesting to see how it holds up.

    • @bctruck
