Permanently repairs ripped or damaged polyethylene belly material.
Note: Polyethylene underbelly (pictured right) is a black tarp-like material. This material is
found on the bottom of most manufactured homes built since the 80's. If your underbelly covering is more rigid like
a board, then click here for a tape to patch it.
Flex-Mendtm
Very few tapes will stick to the underneath material of a mobile home, much less stick
permanently. For sure duct tape doesn't work. If you are tired of taping and retaping the rips and tears in your home's belly,
you'll appreciate Flex-Mendtm tape.
Flex-Mendtm is a revolutionary new mending product that matches the appearance and texture of bottom closure
materials used by most manufacturers in the mobile home industry today. Flex-Mendtm is a woven
polyethylene film currently meeting all requirements (except as noted below) for use as bottom board by the mobile home
industry. It has been solid-coated with specially-formulated high-tech adhesive, and has an
easily removed paper release liner. It goes on like a band-aid.
When placed over holes and tears, the entire Flex-Mendtm patch bonds tightly to the bottom closure
material PERMANENTLY. Immediately following application, flex-mend patches are almost impossible
to remove without destroying the patch and/or the surface to which it is bonded. During the next
few hours, adhesion becomes stronger and stronger.
Repair holes, cuts and tears resulting from plumbing repairs, weak seams and damage by cats and other animals
quickly, neatly and permanently. Flex-Mendtm is also waterproof and unaffected by cold and can be
applied in below-freezing temperatures (see instructions) and will hold regardless of the season.
Note: This tape does not work effectively on the older bottom boards that resemble a solid
board-like material. Click Here for a material to repair older bottom board. For
bellies too far gone to repair, replacement polyethylene underbelly
material can be ordered here.
INSTALLATION
 Step 1: Clean the area around the rip. Cut and stuff a little extra
fiberglass insulation in the cut.
 Step 2: Cut a strip of Flex-Mendtm slightly longer than the opening. Remove the
release paper from the back and apply. Be sure the tape does not stick to itself. More
than one piece of tape may be needed to properly seal the opening.
 Step 3: Using a blow dryer, heat gun or the bulb from a
work light, apply heat to the tape and rub. Do not overheat.
