pectin Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I have a hairline crack on my pool skimmer [not the basket] at the sides that is making me lose like some water each time I fill to the line where the crack ends. What pool putty can I use which is best or last the longest. I know there is a lot of different brands. I had it done last year but it came off again. I called someone and was told they have a very special Resin type which they inject into the crack making it last long. Please advise. Thanks... just ordered a few of the Anderson Pool Putty... hope that one works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HAVE USED FIBER GLASS WITH MATTING IN THE PAST, WORKS FOR ALONG TIME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFiremanFirst Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Fiberglass WITH MATTING is a good solution! The problem is the skimmer will swell and shrink with water temperature and ambient temperature! a putty will likely fail! As will an epoxy! The matting gives you more surface area to reduce the likely hood of swelling and shrinking in that particular area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
