How would you repair a 2 inch hole in a big inflatable swimming pool?

Materials:

  • Repair patch kit for inflatable pools
  • Scissors
  • Clean cloth
  • Isopropyl alcohol (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Clean the area: Use a clean cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris around the hole. If desired, apply isopropyl alcohol to further clean and dry the surface.
  2. Roughen the surface: Use sandpaper or a rough cloth to lightly roughen the area around the hole to improve adhesion.
  3. Cut the patch: From the repair kit, cut a circular patch slightly larger than the hole.
  4. Apply adhesive: Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the patch and the area around the hole.
  5. Press the patch: Firmly press the patch over the hole, smoothing out any wrinkles or air bubbles.
  6. Wait for drying: Allow the adhesive to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes several hours.

Tips:

  • Use a strong adhesive specifically designed for inflatable pools.
  • Press the patch down with a weight or book while it dries.
  • Allow the pool to fully dry before re-inflating it to ensure proper adhesion.
