Yes this can be used on a boat haul and the Aquamend is resistant to salt water, so this should do the trick.

My pool has a fiberglass step which has developed a crack. I fear spreading and a leak. If this product suitable for such a repair?
 Reply

A  Answered on 7/12/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Alan M.

AquaMend is a hand-mixable, specialty epoxy putty for repairs to damp,wet areas and underwater surfaces. After mixing, it forms a polymer compound that may be applied underwater (either fresh or salt water) and will bond tenaciously to substrates such as fiberglass, concrete, ceramic,glass, metal, wood, and many plastics. This would be suitable for your application.

I have a series of brown spots (stains) at the deep end (6 ft) of my pool. As suggested my pool supplier I have tried Vitamin C and directly applied shock to the stains with no results. This is a Viking pool. Is this epoxy an appropriate solution ?

I have ground water leaking into an ejector pit, located in my basement. The pit is for the collection of waste water and is constructed of a durable plastic derivative. I am not attempting to keep water from leaking out of the pit but, rather, attempting to keep water from leaking into the pit. Will this epoxy provide a barrier against the pressure of ground water which is leaking into a subterranean plastic molded sewage ejection pit?
 Reply

A  Answered on 2/21/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Scott W.

That epoxy would probably be a good temporary fix but it will not be able to hold for long, the pressure will get to it.

Hello Joe, so when patching pump parts that have fluctuating pressure changes most often are considered temporary resolves. Patching on the inside and outside as you described is the best approach to get the best out of the patch job.
