This guide is for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to quickly and effectively seal small leaks, cracks, and gaps. The Gorilla Waterproof Coat & Seal Spray offers a flexible, watertight solution, though it's primarily designed for minor repairs rather than major structural issues. This rubberized coating seals out water, air, and moisture, providing lasting protection for various surfaces.
Flexible Rubberized Coating: Creates a pliable, durable seal that adapts to movement and prevents cracking.
Weatherproof Seal: Effectively blocks out water, air, and moisture, ensuring long-lasting protection against the elements.
Stops Small Leaks: Ideal for quickly addressing minor leaks, seepage, and drips in a variety of applications.
Heavy Duty Watertight Barrier: Forms a strong, impermeable seal that keeps water out.
Controlled Spray Pattern: The applicator nozzle delivers a clean, even coat for optimal coverage and reduced waste.
Self-Leveling Formula: Smoothly covers and fills small gaps and cracks, creating a consistent and uniform watertight surface.
Paintable When Dry: Once cured, the sealed area can be painted to match surrounding surfaces for a seamless look.
Temperature & UV Resistant: Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures and prolonged sun exposure, ensuring lasting repairs.
Quick and easy spray application for efficient repairs.
Creates a strong, flexible, and watertight seal.
Excellent resistance to weather, temperature, and UV for durability.
Self-leveling properties ensure smooth coverage of imperfections.
Can be painted over once dry for aesthetic integration.
Effective for a wide range of small leak and crack repairs.
Primarily designed for small leaks and cracks, not large structural damage.
Requires thorough surface preparation for optimal adhesion and performance.
Only available in black for this specific product variant, limiting immediate color matching without painting.
May require multiple coats and adequate drying time between applications.
Odor can be present during application, necessitating good ventilation.

Gorilla Waterproof Coat & Seal Spray is engineered for quick and effective sealing in various household and outdoor scenarios. Its flexible, rubberized formula makes it ideal for areas that experience some movement or vibration, such as gutters, flashing, skylights, PVC pipes, and small roof cracks. The self-leveling feature ensures that the coating fills minor imperfections smoothly, creating a uniform, watertight barrier. For instance, if you have a leaky gutter seam, a properly applied coat can stop the drip effectively. Similarly, small hairline cracks in a concrete foundation or around a window frame can be sealed to prevent moisture intrusion.
Shake Well: Before use, vigorously shake the can for at least one minute to ensure the formula is properly mixed.
Test Spray: Test the spray on a scrap piece of material to get a feel for the controlled spray pattern.
Even Coats: Apply the spray in thin, even coats, holding the can approximately 8-12 inches from the surface. Over-application in one spot can lead to drips.
Multiple Coats: For optimal performance and coverage, especially on porous surfaces or larger gaps, apply additional coats. Allow sufficient dry time (refer to product label) between coats.
Overlap: When working on larger areas, overlap each spray pass by about 50% to ensure complete coverage.
Surface Temperature: Apply in moderate temperatures, typically between 40°F (4°C) and 90°F (32°C), for best results and proper curing.
Getting the most out of your Gorilla Waterproof Coat & Seal Spray starts with proper preparation and understanding its capabilities.
Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dirt, grease, oil, rust, and loose paint or debris. Use a wire brush or sandpaper if necessary to remove loose material. Cleaning with a suitable degreaser or solvent may be required for oily surfaces.
Masking: Protect surrounding areas from overspray using painter's tape or plastic sheeting, especially if applying indoors or near finished surfaces.
Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area. If working indoors, open windows and doors and consider using a fan.
This versatile coating is compatible with a wide range of materials, including:
Metal (e.g., aluminum, steel, galvanized steel)
Plastic (e.g., PVC, acrylic, vinyl)
Asphalt (e.g., roofing materials, driveways)
Concrete and Masonry (e.g., foundations, brick, stone)
Wood
Fabric (consult product label for specific fabric compatibility for flexibility)
Avoid applying to surfaces that will be immersed in solvents, continually submerged in water (without specific product certification), or areas under extreme pressure if a structural repair is needed.
Drying and Curing: Allow adequate time for the product to fully dry and cure. While it may be tack-free quickly, full waterproofing and paintability typically requires several hours to a full day, depending on temperature and humidity. Refer to the product label for specific dry and cure times.
Cleanup: Clean overspray or wet spills immediately with mineral spirits or paint thinner. Once dried, the coating is difficult to remove.
Storage: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to prevent nozzle clogging.
