desertcart.co.jp: Lindeman 750103 Flash Seal - Black - 1 Gal : DIY, Tools & Garden Review: I ordered this product to repair a nagging chimney leak that I could not seem to remedy with roofing caulk. After the 3rd failure to fix the leak I ordered the Chimney Saver. After the first rain I didn’t encounter a single leak. Although time will tell the whole story I am so far impressed with this product. It was easy enough to apply and very easy to clean up. I bought the Flash Seal reinforcement mesh that is recommended with this product which also helped to create a nice thick layer around the bottom of the chimney. I used duct tape to make a clean application line around the base which worked like a champ. I had some left over so I sealed the top part of the chimney where the mortar was starting to crack. This stuff is a little pricey but it does the job. Saving the expense of calling a roofer was well worth it. Update: The Dallas area that I live in just got hit with a terrible storm that produced extremely high winds and copious amounts of rain. I am happy to report that the repair job on my chimney held up beautifully. Not one drop of water made it through. I now have to say that this product is battle tested, tried and true. This storm was one of the worst that I can remember in several decades so I would gladly tack on some more stars if I could. Review: We had three leaks where our chimney met the roof line. Applied as directed and all three cracks/leaks are sealed. Using the fiberglass mesh tape is the way to go. Really makes the product stronger and I think will last for years. Oh yes, working from top to bottom helps seal everything and it bonded to both flashing and the brick.

We had three leaks where our chimney met the roof line. Applied as directed and all three cracks/leaks are sealed. Using the fiberglass mesh tape is the way to go.

This stuff worked as advertised. I had a leak on the inside of my chimney that no roofer wanted to touch. So I finally purchased this product(with the fabric tape) and applied it to the base of my chimney around the flashing. It worked great and no more leaks. Worth every penny and easy to use.

Had several leaks on an addition. Was leaking behind two chimneys and running into the room below. Also had several leaks around roofing nails (metal roof). We had used black mammy, cool seal and painted the roof 5 times with oil based paint. Every attempt failed until we purchased this product. After trying to repair our leaks for 3 years, we found this product and it worked with just one application. This is amazing product and I would recommend to everybody.

11/5 stars, this stuff saved me close to 1100 dollars in roofing repair. So, my situation: My house is nearly 150 years old with a steel roof of indeterminable age. Spoiler alert, it leaks. Particularly bad was the flashing around the chimney, which was "sealed" with sheet steel, mortar, and dreams. It leaked like a sieve. In addition to a few other repairs I needed (rusted out roof bolts, seam leaks where roof meets exterior wall, etc), roofers and chimney specialists quoted me between 1100 and 1800 to stop all the leaks. I asked them what products they'd be using, and they all said "FlashSeal and mesh". Being the cheapskate, DIY nerd that I am, I googled it. Any moron can apply this stuff. I cleared the old flashing, pressure-washed the contact areas, and painted the stuff on. Done in less than an hour. So then I looked at my remaining 9/10ths of a bucket of Flash Seal, and got a little crazy. I put down FlashSeal, Mesh, and more FlashSeal anywhere that even *looked* like it *might* be the source of a leak. It's been two weeks, and I have not been able to locate a single continued source of leaks. So far, so good. I will update in a year to see if the stuff has withstood the test of time. For those curious, the installation goes thusly: Clear the contact surfaces thoroughly. I used a pressure washer, windex, and a towel. Apply a generous coat of FlashSeal. Let it get a little sticky. Apply a layer of FlashSeal reinforcement mesh, covering the gaps you're looking to seal. If it's on an angle, start from the bottom and layer the mesh such that the 'higher' part that overlaps is on top. Apply a generous coat of FlashSeal on top of the mesh. Keep applying until the mesh is coated into a single, continuous surface without any holes. Wait 45 minutes, repeat. Keep doing that until you are confident that nothing can get through.
