We do not recommend using Flex Seal on foam. Some foams may react poorly with Flex Seal, and may warp or dissolve. We also do not recommend using it in situations where it is subjected to high heat or pressure (such as engine radiators) or gas tanks. We do not recommend the use of Flex Seal spray on vinyl.

When you're adding waterproofing to your property, you want to ensure that you're using a primer that is going to last. The primer is a liquid applied to a surface before you start painting.
