This video tests Flex Seal liquid rubber as a DIY shotgun slug, demonstrating its failure and danger. The custom slugs showed erratic accuracy and a significant ricochet risk when fired from a GForce Arms 12-gauge shotgun into ballistic gel. The host strongly advises against using Flex Seal for ammunition due to unpredictable and hazardous performance.

This video tests the effectiveness and safety of DIY shotgun slugs made from Flex Seal liquid rubber. The custom slugs showed erratic accuracy and failed to penetrate ballistics gelatin deeply, instead ricocheting. The experiment highlights the significant dangers of homemade ammunition, particularly the risk of projectile return.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a solid block made from $100 of Flex Seal. While it stopped a .22 LR round and partially resisted a 12-gauge slug, a .380 ACP round penetrated the block. The results indicate Flex Seal is not effective as body armor against common self-defense calibers.

This video title, "$100 Flex Seal BODY ARMOR???", and description, which includes hashtags like #guns, #ammo, and #shotguns, suggests a review or experiment testing the ballistic resistance of body armor made with Flex Seal. The content likely focuses on DIY or budget-friendly personal protective equipment related to firearms, potentially comparing it to traditional body armor or testing its effectiveness against common ammunition. The price point indicates a focus on affordable solutions or a challenge to see if a low-cost material can offer protection.

This video outlines 15 essential items for a SHTF repair kit, emphasizing self-sufficiency due to supply chain issues. Key categories include various tapes, adhesives like Loctite 242 for firearms, diverse cordage, heavy-duty tarps, contractor-grade trash bags, shoe repair supplies, zip ties, Flex Seal, caulk, reclaimed buckles, sewing kits (like the Exotac RipSpool), fasteners, reclaimed lumber, insulation, and lubricants. The presenter, with extensive experience, stresses practical, readily available solutions for diverse repair needs in survival scenarios.

This experiment tests the effectiveness of filling hollow point bullet cavities with Flex Seal liquid rubber to improve expansion through barriers. Results show that the Flex Seal modification surprisingly aids consistent expansion through soft barriers like heavy clothing, with the rubber dispersing into fragments. While successful in many tests, hard barriers like plywood still posed challenges for expansion.

This video details the critical steps for creating and concealing survival caches. It covers selecting durable containers like PVC pipes and ammo cans, emphasizing waterproofing with desiccants, petroleum jelly, and rubberized paint. Proper site selection avoids easily searched areas, and emplacement techniques focus on counter-detection methods like using decoy trash and layering dirt correctly. A comprehensive cache report with coordinates and maps is vital for recovery.

In this 'Will It AK?' episode, Brandon Herrera tests the extreme resilience of the AK-47 platform by subjecting it to modeling clay, hair gel, toothpaste, and Flex Seal. Despite these unconventional materials clogging the receiver and action, the AK-47 consistently cycles, demonstrating its robust design. The video highlights the firearm's reliability even under adverse conditions, concluding that the AK platform is exceptionally durable.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a DIY Flex Seal armor block. While it shows some promise against low-power rounds like 9mm Rat Shot and .410 birdshot, it fails catastrophically against a high-velocity 9mm +P hollow point. The testing demonstrates that while Flex Seal can impede or stop very light projectiles, it is not a viable substitute for certified body armor.

This video tests the bullet-stopping capabilities of multiple layers of Flex Tape. It successfully stopped .22 LR rounds with just two layers, 9mm rounds with seven, and .357 Magnum and .50 AE rounds with eight. The recovered bullets were found lodged within the tape's adhesive layers, demonstrating its surprising impact resistance.

This video demonstrates multiple practical applications for Flex Seal in survival and tactical scenarios. Key hacks include waterproofing gear like range bags and headwear, enhancing tool grips, and crucially, improving the grip texture and durability of rifle magazines. The host compares Flex Seal favorably against Rust-Oleum LeakSeal for magazine modification, noting its superior grip and longevity.
