Crack in steps

[alapool]

Does anyone know how I repair a hairline crack in my vinyl steps? The crack is at the very top of the steps (out of the water) and its about 4 inches long.

Should I use some kind of glue?

Thanks

I'm interested in a solution to this also, as I have the same issue. I used some GE silicone sealant last year for lack of finding anything better. It worked, but even though I used clear, it turned cloudy after a while. Looks like I may have to reapply this year.

Have the same problem. I haven't figured what to do yet concerning the actual fix but I was thinking about how to do a dry fix without dropping the pool level. You may get a chuckle but the dam will work. Naturally, Winter came and went and I didn't do my research.

I live in Alabama so is there any other alternative?

Poconos, you never cease to amaze me....

I've got a crack on the second level of steps. Last year I drained to just below, then drilled and smoothed the crack with a dremel, back filled with expanding foam, applied underwater epoxy repair (Loc-tite), then sanded and painted white. Lasted about 2 weeks. Did a quick repair again without draining/painting using the same loc-tite, and it lasted a month. Must be too rigid for the application.

I've seen an Elmers product for tub/shower basins that may work. I'm definately keyed up on Al's dam, that looks like a fun project to tackle.

I'm going to contact the poolstepspecialists and see if they have a repair kit.
