Re: I have two holes in the bottom of my pool how do I...
The easiest way to patch a hole in a vinyl pool liner is with the water still in the pool. With an inexpensive underwater repair kit, some swimming goggles and a few hours to allow the patch to cure, you will be back to enjoying your aquatic playground.
jQuery('.intro .thumbnail').each(function(i,e){
jQuery(e).find('img').one('error',function(){ jQuery(e).remove(); });
});
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Pool repair kit (underwater) Rag Scissors Swimsuit Swimming goggles
-
Step 1
Locate the tear in the liner. You may need to get into the pool and examine the surface wearing swimming goggles.
-
Step 2
Read the patching kit instructions thoroughly before starting the job.
-
Step 3
Clean debris from the area around the tear using a rag.
-
Step 4
Use scissors to cut a patch for the hole. Use the vinyl from the repair kit to for the patch. Be sure it is at least 2 inches in diameter and will cover the entire hole.
-
Step 5
Use applicator brush that comes with kit to apply adhesive to the back of the vinyl patch. Do not apply too much adhesive or the patch will not cure properly.
-
Step 6
Fold the patch in half. The adhesive should be on the inside of the fold.
-
Step 7
Enter the pool water and relocate the area in need of patching. If hole is accessible from the outside of the pool, there is no need to get into water.
-
Step 8
Hold patch underwater as close to the hole as possible. Unfold patch while underwater and apply to the hole.
-
Step 9
Press the patch firmly while smoothing it from the center to the outside edges. This will help remove any excess air bubbles or water from under the patch surface.
-
Step 10
Let patch cure as indicated on repair kit instructions.
