- 1). Locate the tear in the liner. You may need to get into the pool and examine the surface wearing swimming goggles.
- 2). Read the patching kit instructions thoroughly before starting the job.
- 3). Clean debris from the area around the tear using a rag.
- 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.
- 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.
- 6). Fold the patch in half. The adhesive should be on the inside of the fold.
- 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.
- 8). Hold patch underwater as close to the hole as possible. Unfold patch while underwater and apply to the hole.
- 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.
