Sticky, piece of mind
I had a tiny leak of water coming in my floor on my 2014 expedition , I had found out the problem was the rubber seal cap from some random factory hole was leaking , I cleaned up the area and applied this tape with the plug still on,and I haven’t had any water come in from the floor going through rain puddles etc, I also used it cover tiny screw holes one might make installing things or removing installed objects and coming the hole. TAPE-wise 10/10

It works!
It got that Kung Fu grip! I used It to fix a tube that was attached to the motor of my outdoor water fountain. It adhered to the plastic tube while it was submerged in water. It’s a little tricky to use, I’m not actually sure what I did on the 3rd try to make it work but it sealed my tube right up and my water fall is as good as new.

It's very sticky, but it did eventually lose its stick
I was in a paiat my job when my canister vacuum lost its wheel and left me with a practically useless vacuum. I got this in hopes of making a good seal over the hole left by the lost wheel.It kinda worked? I did my best to surface prep, but I mean it's a vacuum, so much dust in and on my vacuum, it's kind of a fools errand. It lasted for about a week of daily classroom vacuuming but when it was time to change my vacuum bag and I inspected the seal, it had come loose. Now, I don't know that the application I was attempting to use this for was ideal, but I did expect more than a week. I was mostly concerned about temperature that this tape could withstand because my vacuum can get pretty hot after two hours of vacuuming. I was satisfied with how it performed in that capacity as my vacuum never melted it or anything.I think the biggest downfall for my with the flex tape is that my vacuum moves a lot as I use it and I think maybe this is supposed to be more of a stick it and never move it type of tape. It was a little tricky to cut, but cutting something this sticky is going to be challenging. I imagine if my vacuum hose ever gets compromised, this might be a good option, but not for a "repair" of sorts like I was hoping.

It lived up to neither their advertising claims, nor my low/realistic expectations
Meh. It's kind of hard to work with and didn't live up to expectations. The glue is very tacky, which I was initially pleased with, since I planned to use this to seal a crack in the pipe that runs to our garden spigot until my landlord could get a plumber out to fix this (the garden spigot isn't exactly a priority for him, so this wasn't going to be done soon). This stuff didn't work at all the first time, which I thought was just an application issue on my part, so I tried again... then again... Then I went to the hardware store like I should have the first time.For the first attempt, I cleaned the pipe thoroughly and it was completely dry. I cut off enough to wrap around the pipe, covering the small <1/4" split with the entire width of the tape and wrapped about 3" of tape around the pipe to securely hold it. I wrapped it tightly and smoothed out any air bubbles as I went to ensure the tape was making good contact on the pipe for it's full length. The moment the water turned on, it started spraying out of the ends where the tape met the starting point.I tried doing it a second time, this time drying the pipe again, new piece of tape about the same length, but this time I used a screw driver to use as a kind of bone tool to press the tape together at that first seam, thinking the tacky glue just needed to make contact and seal the little spot where the tape met itself. I also smoothed out air bubbles as I wrapped it. Still no luck.Third time, I took off the tape from before, cut only enough to warp around the pipe, so the ends didn't touch each other. Oddly enough, this worked... for a couple of hours of use. I had been turning the water valve on/off as I needed the hose, so the tape wasn't under constant pressure, thinking I could prolong it's use, but it lasted about 3 hours before a water bubble formed under the tape. Just like a balloon, once it started inflating, it continued until the bubble reached the edge of the tape and it was done for.If you need this for plumbing, I'd recommend against it. Just go to the hardware store and buy a pipe repair clamp and be done with it. The repair clamp was about $11 and has been holding like a CHAMP for 2 weeks now, this was $13 and seems like it doesn't meet even their own claims.Also note the description says the bond is permanent after 24 hours and cannot be removed... That's not true. It's as easy to remove after 2 days as it was after 2 hours.And if you have trouble getting the adhesive off of your scissors or knife, just use Goo Gone and it'll come right off. The adhesive oddly enough sticks to EVERYTHING you don't want it to stick to and scissors WILL get gunky after the first cut. Goo Gone will save your tools from this mistake of a purchase.

Thanks mom!
Must have been good, I left it at my mothers house accidentally in brand new condition and she used it all on one night on various things around her house.

There is a trick to it.
Why did you pick this product vs others?:Store the tape in the refrigerator. The plastic backing peels right off and the glue stays uniform and sticky. Makes it so much easier to work with.
