Pool tape, like Flex Tape, is used to temporarily patch leaks in pools. The application involves carefully applying the tape to a clean, dry surface over the leak, and then smoothing it out to remove air bubbles and ensure a good seal.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Preparation:
- Make sure the area around the leak is as clean and dry as possible. Wipe the area with a clean cloth.
-
Application:
- Apply the pool tape directly over the leak.
- Ensure the tape extends beyond the leak on all sides for a secure seal.
-
Smoothing:
- Use a credit card, squeegee, or roller to smooth out the tape. This helps remove air bubbles and create a tight bond between the tape and the pool surface.
- Applying pressure during this step is crucial for a good seal.
-
Securing:
- Ensure there are no air bubbles between the tape and the pool surface.
Important Considerations:
- Pool tape is generally a temporary fix.
- For more permanent repairs, consult a pool professional.
