How long does it take for Flex Tape to seal?

Flex Tape will adhere right away, but it gets stronger over time, so let it sit for 24 hours if possible. Once fully bonded, Flex Tape cannot be re-positioned, so don't try to move it and re-use it. You can use a hair dryer on the back of Flex Tape to increase the bond to porous surfaces, such as concrete.
