Aquascape EPDM Liner Repair Patch 8.5-Inch for Ponds, Streams and Water Gardens | 22018, Black

Used this patch to seal a leak in my 300 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank that is used as a waterlily/fish pond. This leak has been "fixed" three times before with different sealers and they just didn't work. This patch is really sticky. I sanded the area, cleaned it with alcohol and stuck the patch in place. It's working and the weight of the water should keep it tight.

I found this product to be very frustrating. The patch came in a generic wrapping, with zero instructions. I searched the Amazon listing and then I went to the product's webpage. All I could find for instructions was to peel and stick, other commentators stated the surface needs to be cleaned and maybe roughed up. This leaves some important questions#1 -- This product is made for ponds, therefore, can water be present?#2 -- Can this product be applied when it is cold?#3 -- How long should I wait for the bond to be ideally bound?So, not knowing any of this, I went out to my new pond liner (I discovered the hole after I had installed the liner) and applied the patch. It was drizzling at the time and cold, so I discovered my first two questions. #1 can this patch adhere to surfaces with water -- No! #2 Does this patch work well in the cold -- No! So I covered my work and came back to it, in the morning with a hair drier and for now the patch seems to be holding well. Later on, I'll add water to see if the patch is successful, I think it is from the look of it, but I want to give the patch more time to properly adhere before applying water.Pros:Strong materialGood bond, if applied properlyCons:No instructionsNo instructionsNo instructions

Had a huge hole in our koi pond. Thought we were probably going to have to replace the liner completely. Purchased this, it’s been installed for a month or so now and it’s holding up. MUCH cheaper than replacing the liner. Just make sure you throughly clean the surface before applying. We used rubbing alcohol, and also only had to use a portion of the sticky patch. Thanks for affordable functional options!

applied easily, time will tell on it's adhesiveness!

I've tried to find a pond repair patch that doesn't peel off or require extra glue / treatment prior to application. This patch I was able to cut to size and it stuck to the liner immediately. Glad I purchased.

Had a couple of tears through my pond liner, and we were able to use it on all three spots, very heavy duty and last a long time

Worthless?The patch came, by itself, in a padded postal packet. No glue, no instructions to indicate if glue was needed, no nothing.The patch did have a peel off film on each side. One side was marginally sticky, so I chose to apply that side to the liner. I drained the pond down to the level of the leak and applied the patch to the dry clean surface, at an air temp of + 60 (F) assuming that is what the directions would have wanted me to do. The patch did not adhere well and I propped some bricks against it to hold it in place and let it "dry" for 48 hours. I then refilled the pond.That was about 10 months ago. The water level has been stable, but I have not been able to asses if there is still a leak present. It may have worked, but i might have done just as well with a piece of old inner tube. The fish in the pond are still alive.If you are going to package a product for repairs and sell it, include some instructions, or at least a website to get the instructions.

Didn’t stick very well
