Patching torn Butyl rubber liner?
I have a large chunk torn out of the side of my pond (dog went nuts?) that
I need to patch. The liner is 45-mil butyl rubber, and I have plenty of material for a patch. But what's the concensus on patching cements or tapes, and what's the best way to accomplish it? I was looking at The Pondshop, and they have a kit they recommend for patching and seaming liner: http://www.pondshop.com/catalog/const.htm Look for 03-SEAMKT, used with BCAU16 butyl caulk and single-sided tape. It's not cheap, though, and maybe I'd be better off buying just the prep, 2-sided tape, etc., separately... Dave |

Patching torn Butyl rubber liner?
I patched a 2" round through hole with the standard patching material for a
roof from a home supply store "Menards" worked fine for me. "Dave Bell" wrote in message rea.net... I have a large chunk torn out of the side of my pond (dog went nuts?) that I need to patch.

When I built my stream, I overlapped liner and used that big, fat, sticky Becket double sided tape. The box said to wait 24 hours for proper setting. I waited like 24 minutes, and have had a leak ever since. We're currently in the process of fixing that. Anyway, my advice. The tape and some liner will work great, just follow the instructions. If it were me, I'd also probably seal the edges of the liner patch to be sure no water ever got to the tape, just in case. BV. |

Where do you get double sided Becket tape?
