It seems like we RVers are con-
stantly dealing with leaks of some
sort as we travel around the country.
In the past, I have shared a couple of my
favorite leak repair products: Wound-
Seal and EternaBond. Well, I have just
discovered another sealer worthy
of gadget status: Home Armor
Flexible Sealer.
This is a rubber sealant in a pressurized can that can be
sprayed onto a surface to seal it. Being fairly low-vis-
cosity (somewhat thin and runny), it excels at penetrating
small cracks and holes. It dries into a firm rubber mem-
brane that should last for years, even if exposed to the
weather. I have used it several times on my RV, and I’m
impressed with how well it works. I have found that mul-
tiple coats work the best, and you can build up a nice thick
patch that way. Because of its tendency to flow, it works
best on relatively flat surfaces.
The manufacturer’s product overview says:
• Liquid rubber in a can—the fast, easy way to repair leaks
around your home
• Sprays on to form a flexible seal that’s airtight, waterproof and
lasts for years
• Unaffected by blazing heat while maintaining more flexibility in
extreme cold than the leading competitor
• Won’t drip, sag, chip, crack or peel
• Bonds to all types of metal, wood, plastic, brick, concrete, PVC
and more
• Paint over to make a beautiful, virtually invisible seal
Best of all, you can find it at Walmart, Lowe’s, Home
Depot, Ace hardware stores and even on Amazon.com. It
comes in clear and black and retails for around $10. It has a
long shelf life, so add a can to your gadget box. You never
know when you’ll need it. The Home Armor brand also
includes a range of home and patio cleaning products, in-
cluding some mold/mildew removal and prevention sprays.
I may have to check some of those out as well.
