Hole in Liner help!

[ZmanArt007]

Hey, I am pressed for time, so I will make this quick.

I came home today and my father was removing leaves from my pond... Using a metal rake. :grumble:
I only found one hole the size of a rake's peg, but I'm not sure how to mend it...

Help?

They make tape to repair it... you are going to have to drain it down to the hole so you can clean the area and let it dry.

And did you put your father in time out for that one,lol? Good thing you don't have any fish in there now............or did you already go out and get some more?

Clean it with some acetone, rough it up a bit so the tape sticks well. Being me, I would tape it, then cover the area with a piece of liner, using black roof goop to add some extra protection. But the tape does work well.

Thanks guys! I will look for that tape, but is there a glue I could use to attach a spare piece of liner to the hole?

I think thats what addy was trying to say, some tape, then some glue and another piece of liner. I would imagine they have that kind of stuff at menards or home depot. anything made for to glue pvc or epdm roofing. I dunno, maybe Addy will chime back in with a link to the "goop" she is talking about.

This stuff, for me, works great. I used it and some liner to install my skimmer, no leaks. Give it time to dry. I have also used it to direct water the way I want it to go.

Bolt through the hole, fender washer on both sides of liner, tighten, done. Zinc washers might only last a few year but nylon, aluminum and stainless steel will last.

Gold Label pond repair caulking. Instant repair and works with out draining water. Can be used underwater when applied.
