    Polymer Pool Wall patch or replacement
    I have an inground pool with polymer walls. The walls were damaged during a recent tornado and I would like to patch the holes. All the pool repair companies want to patch the holes with either lexan or stainless steel sheeting. I would prefer to backfill and patch the holes with bondo or gorilla glass. Is this feasible? Will bondo, gorilla glass, or fiberglass stick to the polymer wall?

    Thank you.

    Bondo is inappropriate around water... and gorilla glass isn't all that much different... and no.. its unlikely it sticks to a polymer anyway...

    I'd listen to what the pool places recommend... they know what will actually work and the right way to do it.
