How to Seal a Fish Pond
Health and Safety
VersEseal Rapid Build is water based however, gloves, eye protection and overalls are recommended. Please read the full Safety Data Sheet before use.
If the pond or water feature is used for housing aquatic life, allow 7 days curing and discard the first two rinses after application.
Important Application Information
- Applying VersEseal at a rate of 1kg/sqm will result in a wet film thickness of 1mm, which will dry down to a final thickness of 0.6mm. VersEseal Rapid Build should be applied to ponds at a minimum total wet coating of 2kg/m2. Ensure this correct coating thickness is achieved to provide longevity. A thicker final coating should be applied to repair areas as described below.
- DO NOT use any solvent based sealants prior to applying VersEseal. Some sealants will affect full curing and adhesion of the VersEseal membrane. For large gaps use VersEseal Rubber Caulk.
- Do not use this water based VOC Free coating system if rain or heavy dew are expected before fully dried. Apply at temperatures between 10℃ and 30℃. Avoid applying during the hottest part of the day. During cold, damp or humid conditions a longer drying time will be required. A rainy day is a non drying day even if your pond is covered. Please give us a call if you are unsure or would like guidance on this.
- For Cleaning up, use mineral turpentine to clean VersEseal Rapid Build from hard surfaces, use Baby Oil (Mineral oil) to clean from skin.
Prepare
1. Remove any old, failed sealant with a scraper, if possible. If it can’t be removed, treat the area like a gap and reinforce with geofabric as below.
2. Wash down to remove all dirt, dust and grime. A 1000-3000psi pressure washer is ideal for this. Allow to dry. The surface must have less then 10% moisture before proceeding.
3. Prepare Geofabric to reinforce along joins, around penetrations and over old sealant. It is much easier to pre-cut geofabric to size before starting to coat the membrane.
Repair & Reinforce (Joints, Penetrations, Damaged areas, Floor to Wall Joints)
4. Brush the first coat of VersEseal Rapid Build liquid rubber over areas that need repair or additional reinforcement. Aim for a good thick coating of at least 1mm. Remember, you’re waterproofing, not painting – thick is good!
5. Lay geofabric bandage into the wet coating over joins and around penetrations. Ensure it is smooth with no creases or air pockets. You may need to cut a nick to allow the bandage to neatly conform to any corners or bends. If the fabric overlaps, paint some VersEseal Rapid Build liquid rubber between the layers to glue it together.
6. Immediately brush a second coat of VersEseal Rapid Build liquid rubber aiming again for another good thick coating of at least 1mm to give a wet on wet sandwich with a total wet coating thickness of 2mm.
7. Allow the repaired area to dry. This will typically take about 24 hours at 25℃ with good ventilation.
Seal
8. The final sealing step will depend on the condition of your pond.
- ENTIRE POND – Apply two or more generous coats of VersEseal Rapid Build liquid rubber over the entire pond to achieve a final Dry Film Thickness (DFT) of 1.2mm over the main
pond area and 2.4mm over joints and repaired areas. Apply the first coat North-South and the second coat East-West. Allow to dry for at least 24hrs between coats of VersEseal Rapid Build Membrane. After final coat of VersEseal Rapid Build Membrane, allow to dry for 7 days – assuming good drying conditions of 25℃ and good ventilation. - REPAIR ONLY – If your pond is sound apart from the areas that have been repaired: Apply a third good thick coat of VersEseal Rapid Build liquid rubber over the repaired areas, to achieve a final Dry Film Thickness (DFT) of 2.4mm and allow to dry, allow to dry for 7 days – assuming good drying conditions of 25℃ and good ventilation.
9. If conditions are not optimal a longer drying time will be required – actual times will vary depending on season and location. If you are unsure or would like further guidance on this please give us a call.

FAQ's
How much do I need?
Is VersEseal waterproofing pond paint safe for fish?
Yes, VersEseal Pond paint is safe for fish. It is specifically designed to be fish-friendly and does not pose any harm to aquatic life. In fact, VersEseal Pond paint is potable water approved to AS4020, which means it is safe for use in drinking water reservoirs. This indicates that the product meets strict standards for water quality and is deemed safe for consumption.
VersEseal Pond paint is also suitable for hydroponics and aquaponics systems. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, while aquaponics combines hydroponics with aquaculture, creating a symbiotic environment for both plants and fish. The fact that VersEseal Pond paint is safe for use in these systems further reinforces its fish-friendliness.
What surfaces can I use VersEseal on?
VersEseal waterproofing membrane can be applied to a variety of surfaces when sealing ponds. Its excellent adhesion properties make it suitable for different materials commonly used in pond construction. Here are some of the surfaces where VersEseal can be effectively applied:
Concrete: VersEseal adheres exceptionally well to concrete surfaces, including poured concrete, precast concrete, and concrete blocks. It forms a strong bond, providing a durable and watertight seal for concrete ponds. For freshly poured concrete, please allow 28 days for outgassing prior to coating.
Fiberglass: VersEseal bonds effectively to fiberglass surfaces, ensuring a tight and reliable seal that protects against leaks. When applying to fibreglass, the surface should be scuffed slightly to provide additional adhesion strength.
Timber: VersEseal can be used to seal ponds made from timber or those with a timber framework. It adheres to the wood surface, creating a protective barrier against water penetration and preventing rotting or warping.
Rubber: Rubber liners are commonly used in pond construction, and VersEseal is compatible with such surfaces. It forms a strong bond with rubber, offering an effective seal that keeps water contained within the pond.
Geotextile lining: Geotextile liners are used to provide additional protection and reinforcement in ponds. VersEseal can be applied to geotextile linings, ensuring a secure seal and enhancing the overall waterproofing properties of the pond.
It’s important to note that VersEseal’s compatibility with these surfaces may vary depending on their condition and preparation. Proper surface preparation, including having a clean and dry substrate, is crucial for achieving optimal adhesion and sealing performance.
Can I coat over existing black plastic / PVC liner?
Yes, it is possible to coat over an existing black plastic or PVC liner using VersEseal. By doing so, you can provide additional protection and enhance the longevity of the liner. We recommend covering the entire surface of the liner to ensure full protection and a uniform application.
It’s important to consider the thickness of the existing plastic liner when applying VersEseal. Thicker liners may require adjustments in the application process to ensure proper adhesion and a seamless coating. Please give us a call on 1300 891 576 for specific guidelines and advice based on the thickness of your liner
Can VersEseal be used in dam construction?
Yes, VersEseal has been successfully used in numerous dam applications. Its unique properties and capabilities make it a reliable choice for sealing and protecting dams. VersEseal’s advanced technology provides effective waterproofing, durability, and resistance to extreme weather conditions.
With its proven track record in dam projects, VersEseal has demonstrated its ability to enhance the structural integrity and longevity of dams. Its application has contributed to the prevention of water leakage, seepage, and potential damage. VersEseal’s compatibility with various dam materials and construction techniques further adds to its versatility.
To learn more about how VersEseal can benefit your specific dam project, we encourage you to contact us. Our team of experts is available to provide further information, discuss your requirements, and offer tailored advice to ensure the successful implementation of VersEseal in your dam application.
How many coats do I need?
VersEseal should be applied to reach the required thickness rather than for a number of coats. For ponds, a minimum of two coats is required to give a final Wet Film Thickness of 1mm at a minimum. This equates to 1kg per square meter. A thicker coating may be required depending on the substrate. Please contact us for specific advice for your project.
How do I fill gaps?
Do not use silicone or any other new gap filler or sealant to fill gaps prior to using VersEseal. These products can contain slow release solvents which can affect the VersEseal membrane. Any gaps should be filled with VersEseal Rubber Caulk and bridged over using the Geo Fabric method.
If you have old silicone or polyurethane sealants on your pond which are lifting and peeling, they will need to be removed to ensure you have a solid substrate to coat over. If small amounts of the sealant cannot be removed, treat it as if it’s a gap and bridge across it with Geo Fabric as shown in our application videos.
What colour is the VersEseal membrane?
Our VersEseal Liquid Rubber membrane is only available in black.
