Liquid Rubber NeoPond Waterproof Pond Sealant - Fish and Plant Safe Waterproofing Membrane Sealer for Ponds and Water Features, Black, 5 Gallon

This product is very easy to apply. I brushed it onto a cement pond that was leaking and crumbling. Brushed it clean first then brushed it on. Was dry enough for recoat by the time the first coat was completed. The pond held water soon after.

Paint manufacturers have decided that water based latex acrylic paint is good enough. It is not. This paint washes off in the rain. It peels up on the bottom of the pool. It is a terrible product. All latex paints (not to be confused with actual liquid rubber) are garbage. The entire paint industry is currently a gigantic scam. Bring back proper oil and urethane paints please. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

We had an older pond and had a pro pond builder come out and re-do our pond and add a 2nd one with stream in middle, was great! but that was 25 to 30 years ago! The ponds were made of concrete that had aged well but needed help, to be excepted after that long in freezing winters and hot hot summers. I went on a internet search for the right solution for 2 over 65 people to tackle, I was not digging them up or filling them in, I came across a lot of information! Some good, some what are you talking about junk. It was so intimidating, then I found Liquid Rubber! I was so impressed in the fact that 1. the name was just what it was 2. The names for the products were for what it was to be used on, we got the NeoPond, because it was for Ponds and safe for fish and plants 3. I could actually understand the directions. We also bought the Liquid Rubber Multi-Purpose Primer, it said it was for Concrete and wood, great, done! I wish we had pictures of before, but I do have after's to share. If you need help just give them a call ask for Trevor he is great. Love this product and company. Included a ideal we did also. We put our filter, UV light, fountain combo into our sunk pump for water fall into the lid of the bucket of sunk pump, We cut the shape out of top, tested it in swimming pool and worked great! This hid both, as they are under water and black In top pond we used the Liquid Rubber to paint the old bottom of a bird bath to set the filter for that pond on, Now we are just waiting for the curing time to do its thing, add water and enjoy! PS I was going back and forth about wanting the pond to be blue again, but LOVE the black, everything, fish, plants & frogs show up better! and other stuff doesn't. A Cordell

Highly recommend to go through the Tips on the product description to ensure the sealant will bond strong and prevent creak/leak. I cleaned the pond first, make sure the surface was completely dried, then applied the sealant evenly. I left it dry for 36 (more than 24 as recommended tips), and checked or any cracks/leaks before applied another coat. It works great, but just on an expensive side.

I followed the directions exactly and applied three coats of Neopond sealant to a concrete pond. As soon as I started filling it with water, the sealant bubbled up and formed blisters everywhere. I had to tear it all out, which took longer than applying it, and start over from scratch. This product completely failed on concrete. Do not buy this for waterproofing ponds!
