be careful with the silicone (as I've been finding out) because it doesn't always stick to some plastics. That is, it WILL stick initially but I've found it is peeling off really easily (working with pvc; not sure how the epdm/hdrpe will do).

Silicone being a generic term in this sense. The stuff I'd actually use is PL-30. I'll do a test seam with it and see how it holds. I think Addy has used it extensively with her rpe liners.

Did the unthinkable today and started cutting the liner again!

That stuff works, but you need to be bone dry, clean , roughed up.

The last fix I used Marine Goop. It sticks like unreal and does not ever peel off. Made to be under water salt and fresh. Very sticky to work with wear gloves or be ready to work on cleaning the hands.

This is a amazon link , the 3m's really work well. Used on a boat to stop a persistent leak around the rub rail. The 5200 if you open use up the tube it does not survive being open for xx time, like weeks. Again wear gloves.

They have dialed phones, sent weird text messages, deleted things on the lappy when I am working. I try to leave everything off or in a non use able screen.

that's why he's going into that 'room at the end of the hall', ya know? But yeah, lets ALL talk MARINE GOOP! God knows we don't have enough chatter about THAT! I imagine, when the baby was born amidst all that straw, the manger was held down by marine goop...probably the sheep too. I heard there was a lobster...but no, that was movie...(if you know the one, 2 GPF points for you for stating it here!).
