Helpful Hints
Weather Conditions:
Weather conditions have to be ideal in order to properly complete a seam.
Moisture such as rain or cold damp conditions, can affect seam quality.
In cold conditions you can use an industrial heat gun to warm the liner.
(Be careful not to burn the liner)
A flat surface:
You need to have a good flat foundation to perform the seam. This can be
difficult when you’re working with the irregular contours of a pond. Use a
plywood board, or other hard surface, under the liner seam for stability.
Alternative primer:
If it is not possible to get your hands on the EPDM Taper Primer, you should then
use a towel dipped in gasoline as an alternative.
seam Area:
The area where the seam tape is to adhere must be kept clean of any dust
and/or debris.

EPDM Liner is seamed using this taping
process. After you complete the seam, the
rest of the deep stream is handled just
like the rest of the pond. For more

Overlap the two
sheets to be joined
approximately
three inches. Use
a plywood board,
or other hard
surface, under the
liner seam
for stability.
Apply the seaming
tape to the edge of
the folded sheet,
leaving about 1/8
inch hanging over
the edge of the
liner. Leave the
paper backing in
place at this time.
Fold back the top
sheet and clean both
surfaces as shown,
first with water. Then
thoroughly dry the
liners and follow with
Aquascape Designs’
Tape Primer.
Press the tape firmly
into place, working the
tape from the center-
line outwards to remove
any bubbles.
Reach under the top
sheet, grab paper
backing, and pull
out slowly while
applying pressure to
the seam to remove
any bubbles.
Flip the taped liner
sheet back over
the lower sheet,
leaving the paper
backing in place.
Go back over the
seam as necessary
to ensure that all
trapped bubbles
have been removed,
and maximum
adhesion achieved.

Peel the paper backing
at one end and carefully
press the exposed tape
into place at end of the
seam. Reach under the
cover tape and slowly
peel off paper backing,
while pressing
tape into place.
Position the six inch
wide, sticky, one-sided
tape over the center of
the seam.
Clean about six inches
on each side of the seam
edge with water. Then,
thoroughly dry the liners
and follow with primer.
This eliminates dust and
creates a tacky surface
for the cover tape.
Go back over the seam
as necessary to ensure
that all trapped bubbles
have been removed and
maximum adhesion
achieved.
