Hello, so my pool was built or repair unconditionally. The walls are vinyl and the floor is concrete or fiberglass (no-one seems to be able to tell me). The connection between the floor and the walls has separated and the pool is leaking all around the bottom circumference of the floor. As you can imagine no-one wants to repairs it (high liability) and starting over is a $140K job. So I found one pool contractor that is willing to help me and his solutions (which he says he has never tried) is to seal the gabs in the floor using epoxy; then paint the whole pool with epoxy paint. Then we pray that this solution will hold for a couple years. Does anyone have any experience using epoxy in this way to seal pool leaks? If so, what was the severity of the leaks and how long has the solution lasted? Does anyone have another solutions that you may recommend? We've consider a putting a liner but no-one is willing to do the job. Thanks in advance...

I suggest you follow the links and talk to the companies mentioned in the links.
I don't think epoxy is the way to go.

Thank you so much. this thread was SUPER helpful. I told my contractor and he is looking for the 3M sealers recommended here.
May I ask why do you think we should not use epoxy?

Epoxy is not flexible and I think will not give a long term seal.
