Gold Label Underwater Sealant, 290 ml, Black

Although the stars above do not reflect how good this stuff is it is a life saver! I have a very large koi pond that had 2 big leaks, one inside the filter box where I had to do a modification and one inside the plastic skimmer which is part of the main pond itself. I used this silicone to put a complete layer over the filter leak, and pretty much the same in the skimmer, my water loss has gone from around 4 inches of water per week to zero, if this hadn't of worked I was looking at a complete overall of both pond and box. Value? It is very expensive for what it is, I work in construction where there are specialist products for half the price so unless you definately need this look else where! Also ease of use! Not at all, wouldn't fancy trying to get it to stick underwater? It was hard enough to get it off of your fingers when dry! Having said all this IF you are at the last option you won't go wrong by buying this stuff, I went straight for black bigtube!

Cannot recommend this enough....fantastic life saver and well worth the extra cost. My juwel corner aquariums (190 litre) pump/filter box simply came away in my hand during cleaning, I have 5 large Severum fish in there (1 is huge) who left me baffled as to how to fix the box back onto the glass in the corner. This is a heavy old long black plastic box with 6 media sponges in. Simply emptied tank half down, cleaned glass both above and under water level as best as I could ,had already taken out box and media’s so added large blobs to 2 sides of the box, all the way down, submerged the large box back into its position and held tight for a few mins and hey presto! Brilliant. I did leave it alone for about 40 mind and kept checking that it wasn’t sliding at all as it sits in the tank with about 3 inches below it. It didn’t move, even when the box was half full of water. Simply put back all my sponges carefully, re-filled tank and done! All fish alive and well 2 weeks later, box hasn’t moved an inch! This has proved to be a real life saver, I don’t usually do write ups but not only was it superb but I couldn’t find many aquarium uses so here I am. Thanks for reading, hope it helped?

This is great providing you follow the unwritten rules. The instructions are not great and you have to be sure that the liner is completely clean of dirt/algae. It does not tell you on the tube but you'll need to use a soft brush to remove algae (that you can't even see!) from the butyl. The sealant will not stick if there is dirt/algae left on the butyl and although it appears to stick it will peel off within a few days especially if you've used it underwater.

We used this on the outside water feature which had cracks init worked great sealed the cracks and the leaks are gone would recommend

I have ordered several of these, over the years, I like to keep one in, as I have a pond with a butyl liner, this stuff is brilliant, says what it does on the tube. It's got me out of a scrape, when rats have chewed my liner a few times. Speedy and safe in the water with fish. Easy to use ,but I would recommend gloves as it sticks really well.

This product is amazing and I wish I discovered it sooner. My pond has always had a slow leak since I bought the property and it was already there and it was annoying, but I lived with it. However recently I was working by the side of the pond and dropped a saw which tore big jagged holes in the liner.... I was mortified and the level dropped by half within hours. After lots of research and not much luck and almost resided to the fact I was going to have a mammoth task ahead redoing the pond, I discovered this product. Skeptical but I tgought for the price, worth a shot. Amazing. Easy to apply, does exactly what it says on the tube and whilst I did it, I went around and covered a few tiny holes at top and pond is the fullest and best it's looked since I have moved in and staying full. For the large holes from the saw teeth, I bought a tiny pond liner from here, which was cheap and cut a small patch, like repairing a bike tyre and it's worked a treat. £20 spent in total and pond like new.

A very good product and has worked to seal the holes in my pond, however anyone who suggests this can be used under water must have strange mystical powers enabling them to do so. I tried using it under an inch or two of water and the sealant just floated away like a sea slug. However, definitely works a dream on fully drained pond even if surface still damp.

Absolutely amazing it repaired my pond liner after it got torn near the bottom gold seal made a under water repair I can definitely recommend.

It did exactly what they said it would do, and it solved my problem I thought I could not fix

stuff is legit

Works well and cures underwater… fish in tank weren’t harmed. I recommend using latex gloves because if you get this on your finger it will be all over your body before you know it.. lol

It is too early to comment on how well this product fixes the leaks on my backyard pond as It is only 2 days post installation. I’m commenting now to help others as they consider this product who may be concerned about multiple reviews stating how messy this product is. This was a concern as I considered the pros and cons of the purchase. This product is no more or less messy than any type of adhesive caulking I have ever installed. Of course if you are not careful it can be a problem. Simply take your time to get the nozzle cut to the volume you want to apply and then run your bead accordingly. I found the info online adequate to understand how to prep and apply the product. If the product performs as specified I wil change the review to 5 stars.

The black stuff seems to be holding the rubber patch So i can give it a 5.
