DuraLiner™ Edge Sealant – 11oz tube
Complete Seam Protection for EPDM Liner Installations
Ensure complete water-tight integrity in your liner seams with DuraLiner™ Edge Sealant. This specialized sealant is applied along the outer edges of liner seams to prevent water from infiltrating between liner panels, providing an additional layer of protection that complements your seam tape system for maximum reliability.
While seam tapes create the primary bond between liner panels, edge sealant provides critical protection at the seam edges where water could potentially work its way between the panels. This extra step is essential for professional-quality installations that remain leak-free for years.
Essential Edge Protection
Even properly taped seams can be vulnerable at the edges where the tape ends. Water pressure, ground movement, and temperature changes can create stress at these transition points. DuraLiner™ Edge Sealant fills and seals these vulnerable areas, creating a continuous barrier that prevents water infiltration.
The sealant remains flexible after curing, moving with the liner through temperature changes and ground settling without cracking or losing adhesion.
Key Features
- Prevents water infiltration at liner seam edges
- Compatible with any EPDM rubber liner
- Remains flexible after curing
- 11 oz tube provides approximately 20 linear feet @ 1/4" bead
- Essential for professional-quality liner installations
- Complements seam tape systems for maximum protection
- Easy tube application for precise control
Application: Apply along both outer edges of completed liner seams, creating a continuous 1/4" bead that seals the transition between the seam tape and exposed liner. Ensure seam edges are clean and dry before application. Allow 24-48 hours for full cure before filling the pond.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is edge sealant used for?
Edge sealant is applied along the outer edges of liner seams to prevent water from infiltrating between liner panels at the seam edges where tape ends.
Do I need edge sealant if I'm using seam tape?
While seam tape creates the primary bond, edge sealant provides critical protection at vulnerable seam edges. It's highly recommended for professional-quality installations.
How much coverage does one tube provide?
An 11 oz tube provides approximately 20 linear feet of coverage at a 1/4" bead. Since you apply sealant along both edges of a seam, one tube covers about 10 linear feet of seam.
Will this work with my EPDM liner?
Yes, DuraLiner™ Edge Sealant is compatible with any EPDM rubber liner.
When should I apply edge sealant?
Apply edge sealant after completing your seam with double-sided and cover tapes. Run a continuous bead along both outer edges of the finished seam.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally, allow 24-48 hours for full cure before filling the pond with water. Curing time varies based on temperature and humidity.
Is edge sealant flexible after curing?
Yes, the sealant remains flexible after curing, allowing it to move with the liner without cracking or losing adhesion.
Can I use this for liner repairs?
Yes, edge sealant can be used to reinforce existing seams or as part of liner repair systems to prevent water infiltration at repair edges.
Is this safe for fish once cured?
Yes, once fully cured, the sealant is inert and safe for fish and aquatic life.
