The unfortunate TJ of the day thread

I can see both of those scenarios playing out in my head.

Oh ye of little faith.

Those Harbor Freight rings are FORGED doncha know?

I was going to use the Flex Tape I've never used. 🤔

What is crazy is at the county we had a huge roof leak on a building during a prolonged storm over 3 days . Out of scrambling to reduce the flow I had the guys cover the area , dry it off with towels , use a mapp gas torch to remove any dampness , and make a patch with flex tape . With a properly prepared area and applied carefully , the tape is amazing for a quick temporary repair. It sealed up a huge leak , and prevented further damage . A quick and dirty emergency repair aid . It absolutely works . :sneaky:

Seems like a lot of extra work. The commercial shows him putting it on UNDER water...
 
I'm that guy , I tried this as an emergency repair and wanted to give it a shot at success . Who knows , it may have worked under water .

Wet, dry, doesn't make much difference... Cleaned vs uncleaned however, no sticky icky... If there is even the slightest coating of dust, dirt, grime, or oxidation it will not last long, if you're lucky to get it to stick at all.

Let's not forget the "it even seals under water" is also using that same water to put pressure on the patch...
