   Curious about how Flex Seal is will mildew, chlorine bleach (hypochorite) and   
   cracking? I surmise it is essential a polymerised version of bytyl rubber   
   flashing. I have supported a rotted bath wall for five years using 10"x20"   
   PVC shim sheeting, drywall mesh and white butyl rubber flashing.   
   But I got further rot on the far side of the mid-tub soap dish which I   
   repaired with regular silicone caulking and drywall mesh. It seems to be   
   slightly sagging and I am not inclined to act until necessary. But my plan is   
   to put another PVC shim sheet with flashing and to cover up some unsightly   
   drywall mesh silicone patching above it (that I spray chlorine on every few   
   days) with Flex Seal and spatula. Well until I can afford (both money and   
   effort) to replace the rotted drywall and retile.
