Is this the kind of stuff you are talking about addy
Yes I have a tube around at all times. For me it has worked great. Make sure what you are working on is dry. I have used and refilled pretty quickly and it has still held. But it will not hold if put on wet/damp Surface.
I used it to plug two holes I put in my 1000 gallon stock tank pond. I was using my tractor to move it and the points on the bucket went right through it. I put goop, a small piece of liner, more goop and refilled. This was around 6 plus years ago. Still holding.

I used the same tube as addy uses and hhave not had any problems with it and guessing addy and others on here that have used it have had no problems .It does not really come in contact with fisah if you overlap the liner as much as you should

I like the natural look so if you need to paint, I would choose natural rock colors like what is in nature:

I would not even consider paint intime it is going to peal no question it will start pealing. NOW stain is another story but either way my aproach would be to just get it dirty rub some dirt onto it some moss and maybe even some grass or crepping jenny maybe use a blow torch to burn a little here o r there. you did a nice job avoiding it looking like a starnd of pearls painting it will not look natural
