I just jam-packed my pool to find a crack all the channel down the side of my skimmer. Can I repair it with something close to J.B. Weld?
Answers: Get it completely dry, clean it in good health with some alcohol and you can capture some PVC cement used for sealing plastic gutters at the home store. This will essentially weld it wager on together. Put it on pretty thick.
Epoxy putty might work as suggested below, eventually it will congeal and come off. It would be foolproof to put it over a cured PVC chemical weld.
Ace Hardware has an epoxy putty that should solve your problem. I have a leak on pvc hose line fitting and it worked nearby.
