I have to patch a tear that is at the bottom of my pool, about 3 feet down. Do you know if the adhesive will stick after a about 20 seconds to get the

I don't know - we used the patch on our tarp cover & while it was touching the pool water all winter (& held up), we applied it to a dry tarp, not underwater.

We also had a tear in our liner, used the tape but it lifted within 24 hours. Good luck.

We used this tape on the bottom of our 52" pool .. we cut it slightly bigger than the hole ... held it in place several minutes and it has stayed stuck very well. I would say ... yes it will work for you.

I would follow the suggestion regarding the clear gorilla tape. That's the best stuff I've ever ran across.It patched the kids pool when nothing else worked. Best of luck.

The spot where you plan to apply the patch needs to be clean. If it is not, the patch will not seal properly. Trouble Free Pools forum might be able to offer some advice on how to repair the problem.

I had a small hole in my Patagonia down jacket and I did not want to send it out for repair through them (it can take up to 30 days to get products back from them when sent out for repair). Patagonia suggested that I patch the hole with Tenacious Tape. I took their advice and the patch has worked perfectly. I would recommend for smaller holes/tears. Hope this helps!

It should be okay with a tear that small. Be sure to patch both inside and outside of pool. Good luck

Yes it works, I was skeptical, but it works. Just clean the area inside pool, cut a piece of vinyl big enough to cover hole, cover patch with vinyl cement and get it in there over hole quickly, then put gentle pressure on patch. Pool fixed.

It should because it is waterproof. We used it to patch a rusted place in our horse's water trough, and it is still holding a year later. Just remember don't use too much glue as it swells as it dries. I would let it "age and dry" at least a couple of days if you can. I have not found anything yet it does not "fix". LOL

Wow! I wouldn't expect it to be sticky after 3 days. I'm assuming it's solvent based and not the water based epoxy. My best guess is you have high humidity which will make that paint take longer to dry. Give it a couple more days to dry and hope it drys good.

I think you would want to stick with a waterbed patch kit. This adhesive is meant to be used without a patch as it bonds to itself to mend a tear or rip. It worked well on a pair of leather work gloves with waterproof finger tips to seal a rip in a fingertip. I wouldn't trust it to hold all the pressure of a waterbed.

yes, patiently(and i mean very patiently) peel it and it to stick to and press it againt the desired surface. if you do it too fast it may tear up, so take your time and it should stay, mines did. good luck!!

The patch will probably stay on, but it's effectiveness may be questioned. The only way to tell if it will still work is to try it and see. It is kind of hit and miss after bathing. While the adhesive is pretty strong, water can get under it and ruin the patch. I don't agree with the people who say it will absolutely work. Very rarely have I had one last 4 days. Expensive, yes. But still worth it to me.

The 3M Velcro tape is very sticky but I don't believe it would stay stuck to your spay in liner for very long.

I cant say for sure ive never tested it submerged for exrended periods of time. It's really good tape so it might be worth a try. Id think about trying hot glue on the bottom of the tank as long as its dry it would probably bond well and could also be removed.

That depends on how much tape you apply and where you apply it. You need to contact 3M to find out what the tensile pull strength is to determine the area of application. Why would you not use construction adhesive? I have to believe it would be much more cost effective.

Yes. Our pool started to leak after we filled it up with water. What a waste of water. It's OK right now. We patched it up with the adhesive patches that came with the pool.

It might depend on how big the hole is. You could always pull it apart for a second while you apply the patch.

I'm not a glue expert but this is the best epoxy for plastics I ever try. I heard about application for sail boat ballast in salt water. Swimming pool job looks easy to compare with. Important to keep surfaces perfectly clean and adhesive (surface must have some fine structure for glue to adhere, not be shiny or glossy). Some plastics required flame surface activation. Because glue when cured stays flexible, water pressure will only help to seal connection.
