How can I stop a leak in my pond between a rock waterfall and butyl liner.I need to bond both together.?

Answer 1

If you live in the united states head to your local home depot. they sell mending tape for your liner. Kind of like mending a hole in an innertube. They also sell new liner in the garden section of the store.

this tape is used mostly for connecting two liners together to make a larger liner. You may also have to make a homemade patch with an additional piece of your liner (or buy another piece from the HD) Should fix you right up quickly.

Answer 2

Sounds like you haven't overlapped the liner enough.

If you can't make the whole thing from a single piece of liner the one from pond should extend up to uppermost lip of the waterfall as well as being considerably wider than the waterfall.

The liner from the waterfall should overlap the one from the pond a good way below the level of the water. If you did that you shouldn't need any bonding because any water "leaking" from the waterfall would be caught by the liner for the pond and the weight of stones, etc, keeps it all in place.

Answer 3

Without seeing it, it`s hard to say but maybe a bit of silicon sealer applied when dry. Or go the hole hog a get a bit of fibreglass and resin from motor accessory shop and again apply when dry. Test the resin on the liner first to make sure there isn`t an adverse reaction.The resin dries very quickly.
Hope this helps

Answer 4

I'll sign up! If it does work and Rock and Pop is split up will just have to call this place Rock. I like writing R&P. Oh, well. Whatever it takes to get those kids to stop spamming us with there Jonas Sisters and Britney Montana. There still will be questions like that here from people who think the Jonas Sisters and that girl is Rock.

Answer 5

The link below goes to a product made specifically for exactly your problem. I have used this very product in building waterfalls and to repair leaks in existing water falls and in my experience it works very well. It works much like expanding foam insulation but is of course waterproof and fish safe. They also sell a bonding tape that works well to seal two liners together and if you can reach your seam and work with it, the tape may be a good option for you as well.

You can use an adhesive

I kid you not, it is used in
the building trade, and you can use it on wet surface, I have tried it and it works, it is based on
the same idea as a tube of no nails..
