Pool Liner Repair 408517Boxer - 4 oz Vinyl Swimming Kit

Got a hole in my in ground pool right at the water line. Decided to try this product and applied as directed. It was a fairly easy process and the patch is thick enough to hold securely. The top did not stick but the hole is covered and it is holding up fine after a month.

This worked awesome. Follow the directions and it'll work great!I'd recommend it.

I had two large 12in slits down the side of my pool from a ladder that bent and broke. I obviously used this product out of water, on a dry surface. It was difficult because it was down the sides. I had nothing to support the areas inside or outside of the pool liner when applying the patches. I thought this will never hold 10,000 gallons of water. I cut the patches 2in bigger than the slits top and bottom and on both sides. Each slit had two patches. One inside the pool and one outside the pool. Four total patches. After letting it cure for 24 hours I filled my pool again. It has been over a week, and not one drop of water has leaked out on the outside. I see no bubbles on the inside and the water level has not going down. I did put the new ladder at the other end of the pool. I thought it best to avoid pressure from using the ladder not where the patches were placed as a precaution. Highly recommend this product with extra material to cut exactly the sizes I needed it. I have extra if needed in the future.

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.

I have bought several other kits they always just came with a small piece of vinyl. I was so happy to see how much vinyl is included in this package. I had more then enough to fix my pool. It has continued to hold and has done well. Was easy to patch even under the water. U habe to put glue on it then close it up and then open under water and patch it. U have to be quick or it will dry on u. This kit has been the best value for the money compared to others I have bought.

I would give this 5 stars because it does do the job BUT I have a few holes to fix. Now alge grows around the patches. They won't tell you that the glue changes the chemistry in the water and turns the liner yellow after a while. ONLY around where I patched the holes. It seals great and was so pleased until I found alge, I've never had an issue with my chemicals in the pool til I patched the holes. And discoloration of the liner so next year I might have to get a new liner but I have had this pool for 10+ years so its due. But I love my pool so I'll do what I need to.

During a windy storm my neighbors patio umbrella flew up from their deck and rocketed into the side of my above ground pool and impaled it leaving a huge 4” diameter hole in the liner. I really thought I was doomed to having to drain the pool entirely to replace the liner but figured less than a month remains in the season maybe it’s worth trying to save it.I bought this product based on the reviews of everyone else, I applied a repair patch covering the hole then 24 hours later I applied 2 more patches over the 1st patch for good measure seeing I can literally fit my entire arm through the hole, gave it another 24 hours for the sealant to dry up and proceeded to refil the pool… I was nervous not going to lie didn’t think it would work but to my surprise 4 days later the pool level is holding study after repeated use and as an extra precaution I used a dye leak detection kit at the patch location and it proved to be fully sealed.Very very impressive product, I bought a second kit to have on hand for emergencies, hopefully I’ll never need it again but if I do, I know it will work.

fix a large tear in my pool liner, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The repair was straightforward, and the adhesive worked perfectly. I’ve had the repair in place all summer, and it has held up beautifully without any issues.Highly recommend it for anyone needing to repair their pool liner!
