Loop-Lock Repair

[halds]

Thanks for the responses!


Korinian and mbar, it sounds as if the company has changed policy and now charges for the patch? Is the patch similar to the type used for repairing tarps if so, wondering if you could save some bucks just using a tarp repair kit?

Was there anything special about the repair kit that would justify the higher price for the kit?

To tell the truth, I don't remember if I had to pay for it. The reason it is good to get it from them is that it is made from the same material and color as the mesh cover.

I don't know if I'd trust the tarp repair kit's adhesive to be the same. I think you'd expect the one from Loop-Lock to be able to handle water and pool chemicals to a certain degree. It could, very well, be the exact same kit, but I'll probably go with the one from Loop-Lock just to cover my bases.

When I got the kit, it didn't come with adhesive - they said to use the adhesive "household goop" which I got at lowes.

This is ringing a bell now. I am pretty sure I did not pay for my patch kit. I did have to buy the glue myself though. When I got my cover installed, they gave me a bag to store the cover in during the swim season. The bag was made out of the same material as the cover. If you have the bag and are not using it, you could cut the bag and use that as a patch.

Cut a round patch for the top and bottom of the hole and glue it on with the Goop.

After seeing this thread, I sent an email to Loop-loc at 1pm on a Thursday. To my amazement, on Friday a fedex package had arrived at my home. They sent two kits (1X1 and 3X3) cause I hadn't specifiied the size I needed. I sent them an email the following day asking how to install it and they told me to buy a product called household goop

Hi Charrua,

could you email me the email address for Loop Loc? Did you correspond with a specific person?

Thanks
