Has anyone tried liquid EPDM?
And a good day to all of you fine outstanding ponders, spring isn't far for
those of us that are living in the northeastern climate of the USA, and now is the time that we need to be prepared for the ponding season that is coming faster than we think, I am one of those that need to be ready for the season to start, so this is the question that I'm proposing to the group. I was wondering if any of you have ever given this liquid EPDM a try? I think that this would be an excellent tool to add to your inventory of tools to battle against leaks. Hey its liquid EPDM, nice. No I am not a sales individual, but what I am trying to accomplish is two things, sewing my pond liners together permanently and secondly, I need to fix one of my flat roofs. I figure I can seal two different leaks with one or two applications. So if there is anyone out there that has tried this product, can you give me or this outstanding group a reply? I am embarrassed to say that I started my ponds back in 1996 and would love to finish my six small ponds and make them as one. This would be the trick, I think, but not sure. Yes I've used silicone to seal liners together, with great success, but I think that being liquid EPDM, it would be a more compliant seaming of liners. Thank you for your time. The link below is the seller sight, the stuff isn't cheap, ($35 a gallon) but when it comes to fastening liners, and a solid aquatic ecosystem, at what price to you place on that? Thank You for you time. Pat http://www.proguardcoatings.com |

Pat,
Generally the splicing of two pieces of EPDM involves overlapping and use of a double face tape repair with a single face tape over the exposed lap. This material says that it will not cure when applied between layers of rubber, so the overlap would still need the double face tape, I think. The cure is not defined in the literature. For a roof, it doesn't matter if it takes weeks, months or years to obtain a complete cure, but for the pond, if the solvent coming out is toxic, then you would need to have a complete cure before the material cam in contact with the pond water. Most solvents would be toxic, and no where does it say that it is fish safe. I would be real concerned. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "Excalibur" wrote in message ...

Not to mention that it may not work that well on used liner. Not to mention
the work involved to clean an old liner and do that much seaming, Wow. ~ jan On Mon, 10 Mar 2003 01:28:27 GMT, "RichToyBox" wrote: Pat, Generally the splicing of two pieces of EPDM involves overlapping and use of a double face tape repair with a single face tape over the exposed lap.
