Uh-oh - Sliced my Liner!

Question of the day (from Brian K): I accidentally made a vertical slit in the liner about 8″ to the left of the skimmer. The slit goes from about 4″ from the bottom all the way to the top. I was about to make another slit to the right of the skimmer so i could pull the liner out to aid in attaching the liner to the skimmer when i realized my mistake. How can i patch this slit…my thought was black silicon and a piece of liner.

Aquascape Tech (Fred) Answer: Unfortunately silicone and liner will not make a watertight connection. The correct way would be to use our EPDM primer and seam and/or cover tape to put it back together. The EPDM primer will prepare the liner to accept the seam/ cover tape. It sounds like cover tape (one sided tape) would work in your situation. If done correctly that will make a water tight seal and get you back in business.

Editors Note: OK – the video is in German and is from OASE who pulled out of the US Market two years ago but you get the picture
