Need some quick replys, FLEXSEAL?

Flex Seal works great. But you need a clean dry surface for it to last for a little while.
The FlexTape with clamps can be used like a hose as long as you overlap it by about an inch as it will bond to itself and the clamps will provide the seal on each end.

Thanks for agreeing and understanding this.

Did you try naval jelly and wire brush on the pipe. That stuff used to do a good job if they haven't banned it by now.

I'm laid up in along rehab,more surgery, then rehab. Years ago I worked some in some plumbing and taking out the bad is so easy. Going back with the new is even simpler, esp. when I have to replace about 10 pcs of cast iron pipe.
