408517Boxer - 4 oz Vinyl Swimming Kit

Had a small hole just below the skimmer when the new liner was put in the pool. Put this patch on before opening in late spring and it has held all summer! Still have a LOT of patch and glue so if it needs to be fixed again next summer it can be easily.

This stuff really works even under water. And it lasts. Highly recommend.

We just set up our Intex 24x12x52 pool when we noticed a leak from the seam area of the liner. Called Intex and they did ship a replacement liner to us, but no way after filling up 8400 gallons of water were we starting over this year. I was concerned about all that pressure pushing at the seam because the hole was about 3 ft down and wanted to ease some pressure of that liner so we got this. We applied it underwater. For the most part it did work. Followed the directions to the T and watched a few videos. I posted a video so you can see the difference. I think because it is on the seam, it is really hard to close off every avenue for water to travel behind the patch because it isn't a flat surface, hence it slowed down but didnt stop. If it was on the flat part of the liner, I do think it would have worked 100%. For now, we will take this as a win for this season.

Incredibly easy to use. If you cut and pasted in pre-school, you will probably have no trouble with this product. There is quite a bit of patch material and more than enough glue to do numerous patches. As with PVC cement, I would put the lid back on with pliers to minimize hardening over time. I patched the liner in an in-ground pool. It would have been trickier in the deep end, probably would need something weighted to hang on to, but the shallow end was easy. The patch stopped the leak from my pool and wallet immediately. I will check it again in the spring and amend this review as necessary. Now about that warning. I cut the over-sized patch and slathered on lots of cement. Being a wood-worker, I wanted to make sure the joint wasn't glue-starved. I folded it over as per directions and easily put it in place, pushing the air and excess glue out of the sides. In place and all good, less than 15 minutes from opening the package to finish. Then I noticed a few quarter-sized blobs of glue floating on the surface. I knew they'd end up in the filter, skimmer, or stuck to the liner. I was already turning blue as it was windy and chilly so I didn't worry about it and climbed out of the pool. I then realized that the excess glue on my hands was drying. It was kind of fun, like when you put glue on your hands in kindergarten. Oh, don't act like you never did it. A few minutes later I felt an odd tugging on my chest. Yep, one of those floating bits of glue had lovingly wrapped itself around some chest hair. I went to pull it off and HOLY MOTHERLESS SON OF A SEACOOK! I almost fell to my knees. In my hand was a good chunk of chest pelt. Over the course of the next hour the glue dried and I found about 4 places on my legs, 5 on my arm hair and a couple more on my torso. Some of them dried in such a way that they pulled hair out when I moved a certain way. I didn't pull any more off by hand. Over the next three days I used scissors, razors and a beard trimmer and finally had to let a patch on my shin go for about a week until I was able to get it off without skinning myself alive. All I can say is I'm really glad I don't have a hairy back. **UPDATE** It's been a year and the patches are holding fine. They are a lighter color than the liner, possibly they dried less clear or maybe it's the glue. Still quite pleased. Also, all my hair has grown back.

This liner patch comes with 2 thin and flexible sheets of pool liner patches. II applied this pool liner patch to the corner of an inground chlorine pool 27 days ago. The patch is working great so far. First I cut the patch 2” larger then the hole. I applied the patch with the included glue, caking it on and applying pressure, mostly to the portion under water. I definitely consider this patch to be water resistant, strong and flexible. So far the patch is still holding strong allowing us one more swim season before replacing the pool liner. I highly recommend wearing gloves during this process, if not expect to have glue on fingers for several hours.

We purchased this to repair a tare in our pool liner and needless to say it did not work the best at all. We even gave it an extra day to make sure that it was dry completely. It just didn't hold up for us. We followed all the directions completely.

Did the job very well. Recommend this product.

Found a big rip about 5 inches long on the liner at the bottom of the pool. A 2" by 1" of the vinyl was actually missing. Nobody knew what happened, of course. It was losing water quickly, about an inch a day. Found this product with many reviews indicating that this actually works under water. It is a bit pricey, but if it works, it is worth the money. It comes with two rolls of transparent vinyl sheet and a can of adhesive. This kit can patch a lot of holes. I cut a piece of the vinyl several inches longer than the rip and the hole. Followed the instruction, applied the adhesive, folded the sheet and went under water. However, I had trouble reaching the bottom. I kept floating up. Finally I put my arm down as far as I could, unfolded patch and used my foot to step the patch on top of the hole and rip. I stood on the patch for a few minutes to ensure that it stayed. The patch is still there after 2 weeks. The pool is not losing water anymore. It is a bit messy handling the patch in the water. The glue got onto my fingers. I had to use Goo Gone to remove it. Should have put on a pair of disposable gloves.
