Make liner joints and repairs with the correct materials

EPDM seam tape, cover tape, patches, cleaners and primers each have a defined role. Match the repair system to the liner material and the type of joint being made. Preparation is as important as the tape itself: dirt, moisture or the wrong primer can undermine an otherwise suitable repair.

Can I omit the primer?

Only if the instructions for the exact repair system say it is not needed. A self-adhering product does not automatically mean no surface preparation is required.

More advice on choosing and installing

A seam and a patch are different jobs

Joining sheets, covering a seam edge and repairing a local puncture do not necessarily use the same product. Choose the specified tape width and system for the task, then follow its sequence for cleaning, priming, joining and rolling. Keep the working area accessible while the repair is made.

Check older liner before choosing a repair

Identify the material and assess the condition around the damage. Remove the cause of the puncture as well as addressing the hole. A repair kit intended for EPDM should not be presented as a universal solution for PVC, butyl or every coated surface.

Is waterfall foam a liner repair material?

No. Foam used to guide water around rocks does not replace the waterproof liner or its specified seam and repair materials.
