GOT A BATHTUB LEAK??...CHEAP EASY TEMPORARY FIX!!

What happens here

The video host introduces the project, which is to fix a large crack in a fiberglass bathtub using Flex Seal products. He explains that the bathtub has been patched multiple times, has a squishy mortar bed underneath, and is an expensive, deep fiberglass tub (17 inches deep). He clarifies that a permanent fix would require ripping out the entire tub, which is costly, hence the temporary solution. The host also states that his client wants him to use these products, despite his recommendations for a permanent solution, which is part of the video's purpose.

Goal: Understand the problem and the proposed temporary solution

Tools and materials

  • Flex Seal Clear Spray Flex Seal — Sealing and protecting the tape, Flex Seal Tape Flex Seal
