The Best Pool Patches of 2023

When it comes to adhesives, few brands have a better reputation than Gorilla. The company’s waterproof patch and seal tape is typical in that it is strong yet flexible and very versatile. The 10-foot-long by 4-inch-wide roll can be used for pool patch repair, pool covers, PVC guttering, and fiberglass.

Application is simple: Just cut to size, remove backing, and affix to the surface. The tape will adhere in around 2 minutes, even underwater, though Gorilla recommends a 24-hour curing period where possible. A thick adhesive layer in combination with ultraviolet (UV)-resistant backing creates a permanent bond. While room temperature provides the best seal, it claims to work between -70 degrees Fahrenheit and 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

Complaints are few, but the tape is only available in white and, as with all pool patches, there are always some materials that don’t stick as well as expected.
