Does anyone know if rubber cement would bond vinyl to metal??
Question:Our pool liner ripped!! our pool is custom 11ft deep. we drained the pool we are removing the water from behind the liner. We are trying desperatly to make this liner last one more summer! Of course it ripped down at the 11 ft area. but the rip only runs along the top edge of the lip that snaps into the metal ring around the pool. I came up with the idea of using rubber cement to cement the ripped liner to the steel wall. Is this possible?? we just can't shell out 3,700.00 for a liner right now and its HOT the kids are driving us insane to try something ANYTHING does anyone have anybetter ideas?? we are open to any ideas! thanks

Rubber cement might work but I'm thinking a heavy duty silicone adhesive like "Goop" might do it . Another thought is to patch the rip with rubberized vinyl shower pan liner using the seam welding glue that they sell(available at HD or Lowes)Good Luck!
Go to the hardware store and ask for gorilla glue.
accept nothing else.
I would be inclined to suggest some type of construction adhesive vs. rubber cement. They make any different type that are compatible with many different materials. Make sure that the adhesive stays somewhat flexible. Normally someone at the hardware store can advise on a good product.
They make vinyl patches that could well work in this case.
Have you tried a pool store?
As I under stand it you would just put the patch over the rip & using heat or glue or both you get a pretty good patch.
By that I mean, if the rest of the liner is in good shape you could get years of use from it.
