Default Need nelp with liner patch

I think you may have the "newer" ( not better IMO ) pond liner that is
layered (can't remember name) - EPDM is not textured, at least that I can
see ( it's like a car tire inner tube and can be repaired as such)
Gale :~)
How do I get pond liner patch to stick? I drained a half-barrel with a
leaky liner and bought some of the really sticky one-sided patch to cover
a hole. I scrubbed the liner and let it dry, applied the patch, waited a
few hours, and filled the barrel.

It's been a couple of weeks and the barrel is leaking again. I drained it
and found that the patch is coming off.

I'm not sure what kind of liner I have. I think maybe its EPDM. I bought
it as a "remnant" at a pond store to line the barrels. It's black, fairly
flexible, and has sort of a woven texture to it.

Thanks for any help.
