Great Stuff to Seal Leaks OR SILICONE seal
 
Okay so if expanding foam is hard to control and does not totally seal the
leaks is using silicone seal (the aquarium kind) a better choice?

Hello. Did the Great Stuff work to seal your leak? And if it did,

where
did you buy it?


I have used triple expanding foam on Shareholders Pond with mixed results.

I
am not sure if it is the same as Great Stuff or not. Heck, I may have even
used Great Stuff, I dunno, never read the side of the can. Anyway, I found
that stopping leaks in my VF dam it worked just fine. It didn't totally

stop
the flow, but it slowed it enough for my liking. I used it to patch a leak
in my stream and that has been a disaster. Once the foam absorbs enough
water, it just wicks more and more out of the pond. We're in the process

of
fixing this now.

Great Stuff to Seal Leaks OR SILICONE seal
 
This is what I used and was happier with.. (know this is late in response
but you don't seem to have gotten it from anyone else and I just now saw
it)..
