SEAM & COVER TAPE
(Products available at
bottom of this page)
When your pond is large enough that you require a seam to be
made, the eam area must be cleaned first. Our Tape
Primer cleans & prepares the EPDM liner for
seaming. Apply a moderate coat of primer on to the liner or a
cloth, then wipe the liner clean. Wait 2-3 minutes and allow
the Tape Primer to dry. Now your EPDM rubber
is clean and a little tackey. This is perfect for then
applying either the 3" Double Sided Seam Tape
and/or the 6" Cover Tape.
TJB-INC INSTALLATION
TIP:
If your seam is going to be
underwater 27/7, then we would use both the 3" Double Sided
Seam Tape and the 6" Cover Tape
between the two pieces of liner and where the top liner overlaps
the bottom liner. We have found it is better to be overly
protected when doing a seam then to have to go back and repair a
bad seam after the pond has been built and stocked. Make sure
to slowly apply the tapes and to get all the bubbles out.
TJB-INC uses a small hand wallpaper roller to make
sure the seam tape is pressed nice and tight. We also put a
2" x 10" board under the liner when we do our seaming to assure we
are working on a flat surface. This way when you use the
roller, you have a firm surface to roll against. All of these
techniques we use will help you install a leak-proof seam.
(And yes, it does take some practice to get really
good.)
