Will you product work to seal cracked seams in soldered sheet metal gutters? I need a product that will stretch with changes in temp

It certainly works on the seams of my metal roof. It has the same expansion/contraction as any metal, and the seal does indeed stay flexible.

Don't think that this product would work to fill in or smooth out a surface crack as it was not meant to be exposed to the outside elements. Once heat or moisture builds up around this product, it can get sticky and will probably start smearing all over your screen.

I sealed the basement wall crack in shoreline area in Connecticut in January - outside temp was in 30 and in basement temp was in upper 50. It works fine.the polymer actually foamed up ad dry within couple hours. It seem works well.

Yes it would work. I've used it to seal a part on a radiator with no problems. I also think the package says its good for up to 500 degrees.

No I don't think so, This sealer is designed for plastic type material. It doesn't get nearly hot enough to seal Aluminum.

It might work if you first fill the larger gap with little pieces of wood mixed with glue, then letting it dry up. Only then you can fill the top part of the crack with Plastic Wood, let it dry then sand & finish. Good luck!!

I think they do make these in shorter sizes, but remember to run the cable down your gutter part way to allow the melt water to run down. I do think a heavy duty timer is a good idea too. I run my cables from 11am - 3pm this has the sun doing some of the work for free. Good luck with your job and they last about 10 years average.

If the item you are trying to seal is wet, that moisture will not allow a good seal. Try making sure it is dry. Maybe that helps.

I'm assuming that you're wanting to repair an old rusted muffler and I think that this tape is designed to protect components from heat and not for repair. I have used it on the plastic belly pans on several snowmobiles that I have been rebuilding to reduce potential of heat damage from the exhaust. The tape is a foil with an adhesive backing and is used to reflect the radiant heat away from whatever you want to protect. I can't imagine that it would provide any appreciable amount of strength and the surface that you're applying it to needs to be clean and free from any oils or grease.

Plain aluminum (kitchen) foil works well for this purpose. This product should work a little bit better as it will (slightly) reduce conductive heat loss as well.

heat gun maybe but I have not had luck and it is bulky. I would try epoxy or just a little gorilla glue as it expands

The product makes a mess. Any repairs or sealing that you do, one needs to spray the product in a tin can and use a brush to seal. I have used the variety of flex seal products. For a sealing/protective job, I would by-pass the aforementioned product. Gorilla glue is a great product.

If BPA is the problem, then Stretch-Tite can be used, as it contains no BPA. It's not on the box, but on their website. So just follow the directions for the two inch space and the proper container and you should be OK. That's because it will melt if it gets that hot!

I thought this was a great product, it was more like a rubber cement going on and dried very pliable and sealed great. cant see why this wouldn't work on the hinge seams, my only concern would be how much it gets used, meaning bent back and forth if it would wear fast

I think it would work but have tried that. I use clear epoxy 330 thinned with acetone to desired thickness. Good luck.

Not sure if this will work but I'm thinking wrapping this in foil to prevent it from melting. I might give it a try. Will followup with results

I tried to use this on carburetor from 1949 and a door handle from the same truck. I have done a lot of soldering before and frankly this stuff doesn't work. No matter how clean I got the surfaces I could not get it to wick out into cracks or pits or even a flat surface. I really want to tell you "yes" buy it and give it a shot But I have had trouble with it. However it is cheap and wont hurt to try out since there isn't much else out there for repairing pot metal.
