Flood Protection Dry Times
Our video below will explain the difference between cure times and dry times for Flex Seal Flood Protection.
IMPORTANT
Always follow evacuation orders. Heed all directions from local government and emergency management officials. Watch our introductory video before starting.
IMPORTANT
Flood Paste in a Cartridge is the base coat for your first layer of protection. Use a gloved finger, Flex Gap Filler tool, or similar tool to push into all seams and openings to help create a watertight seal. Always be cautious of any sharp objects that may cause injury.
Dry Times
Dry times for all Flood Protection products (excluding Flood Tape) depend on temperature and humidity. For example, if it’s cold outside, our products will take longer to dry than in warmer climates.
Dry time is also impacted by the thickness of coats applied. For this reason, we always recommend that you use smooth, even coats — not too thick or too thin.
DRY TIME VS. CURE TIME
DRY TO THE TOUCH is the amount of time it takes for our products to form a skin on the surface and be able to be touched without any material sticking to your finger. Each product must be dry to the touch before an additional layer can be applied.

• Flex Seal Liquid® Flood Protection: 3-6 hours

• Flex Tape® Flood Protection: No dry or cure time required.
• Flex Seal Liquid® Flood Protection: 3-6 hours

CURE TIME is the amount of time it takes for products to completely dry.
• Flex Paste® Flood Protection: 24-48 hours
• Flex Seal Liquid® Flood Protection: 24-48 hours
• Flex Seal® Spray Flood Protection: 12-24 hours

Remember, all dry times mentioned above are estimates and can vary based on temperature, humidity, and thickness of application. Be sure to have your final coat of Flood Protection applied 24-48 hours before floodwaters arrive.
