How Do You Repair Cracks In Outside Water Fountains?
Outdoor water fountains help to create ambiance and add beauty to gardens and lawns. However, a crack in a fountain can ruin the look and can cause water to leak into areas that may not be ready to handle water. Find the crack in your fountain. Remember that leaking water may run around the base or across the sides of your fountain, so be sure you find the crack before attempting any repair. Use a sealant to repair cracks in the outdoor fountain. Obtain a sealant such as liquid concrete, clear silicone or outdoor epoxy from a hardware store or a garden specialty store. Be sure to read all warnings and suggestions that accompany the product. Insert the tube of sealant into a caulking gun and apply to the crack. Evenly distribute the sealant and smooth the surface with a putty knife or small plastic scraper. Use protective gloves during this process to protect skin from exposure to chemicals.
