yes Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 You should definitely not used Plumber's Putty. It always stays soft. There is a great product, which comes in two "playdoo" like pieces. You mix them in ratio of 1 to 1 like playdo. It does not stick to your hands. You can make it any shape you want. It takes only one hour for the initial curing and in 12 hours it is completely hard. I used it to close cracks between the bolders and the top of the pool which was resulting in water leakage and chlorine loss. This product worked for me. I found it here and it is quite reasonable pricewise. I need some pool putty to seal a small separation in my skimmer collar. The plumber's putty at Lowe's indicates it should not be used on plastic.
