Can I line/seal a wooden barrel with this--for a standing water feature?

Hi Maureen. I just read the instructions on the can and it does not specifically say it is for underwater sealing. It does say for directing flow, sealing cracks, etc. I used it On my stream feature and some of it is definitely underwater. I have not had a leak since using it and am pleased with the product. It takes 8 hours to fully cure. In my opinion it would seal a barrel, however, I think the wood on the barrel will slowly wick the water through. Also, the material you are applying the foam to must be clean and dry. Most times when a barrel is used it has a preformed liner in it. Perhaps try a small piece of pond liner? I hope it helps. Happy ponding (or barreling in your case)

I don't think this is the product you want for that application. I would go with an outdoor wood coating such as spar varnish, there are a few sold here but here is one: http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-207008-Marine-Varnish-1-Quart/dp/B000C011CE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422888899&sr=8-1&keywords=outdoor+wood+varnish

On the can it states that it is an oil based alkyd for use on wood, metal and fiberglass above the waterline. Good luck

Yes. In shallower water you have to prime it first. Just tip to the water line (on the vacuum) it until in starts, then you can use it at any angle.

I would use a PVC pipe instead. But I guess it depends on how you want to attach the hose to the barrel

Not well. I hoped to use it with a soaker but was disappointed. I did use it with a normal hose to transfer water fromone barrel to another and it worked ok in that task.

I screw a patch onto the squeegee and oil it up... It leaves a nice light coat when drawn through the barrel. I go shooting too much for long term storage to be of concern but if that's what you're looking for, I don't think this kit will help you much there.

yes you do use it in a caulking gun, and it will seal holes in a cooler and be watertight I used it many places on my sailboat and never had it fail me. I now use it for watertight seals in all my applications and I live in iowa plenty of ice!!

The depth of the barrel would be too much for this pump and even if you supported it, so there would be just an inch or two water over it, I don't think it would create a big enough effect for the barrel.

you would need to remove paint where you intend to seal. it worked on my aluminum boat very well. use with confidence. make sure to follow directions.

Yes, Daniel, so long as the dimensions are the same as "normal" 2"x4" lumber. Four of my "tables" are very, very short and made just long enough to keep my rain barrels higher than ground level for better water flow. You could also just paint or seal the regular lumber if you want to save money. Composite is much more expensive, even if it does last a bit longer. Be sure to buy the best lumber rated for outdoor use. I also used a couple of boards as cross braces beneath the long tabletop boards. Cut them to the width of your table, bevel the edges and screw (don't nail) them into place. This step is very important if your table will be in the weather for long.

Yes. You can also 'cap' the void with a piece of wood after filling with Abatron Wood Epox. Remember to always verify that the surrounding wood is dry...you don't want a rot problem to start back up 'behind' your patch. Oh yeah, and make certain that whatever caused the problem in the first place has been resolved

I would seal it first with a water-based primer or bonder. XIM has one in white that would be perfect.

The barrel has a linerThe liner has a screened spot in the middleAbout 6"s in diameterThis is at our off the grid home that we use in the summerSo I have to go by memory on sizeWe have chains on the end of our roof A group of 6-8 fine chainsThr chains cause the water to channel into the hole of the linerHope this answered tour question

Yes, you must use a caulk gun. Perfect for a cooler, repair. Be sure surface is clean/dry & sand lightly.

I would put a piece of cedar or moth balls just to be sure. Its a very good seal, but I cant promise.

I would not recommend it depending on how long "a while" is. Water will leave a ring on wood and this is wood. You could treat it with a sealer of some sort, but be careful. It can discolor or warp easily.
