I have the exact same problem, my pool store was out of the the kits w/the glue and only had self adhesive patches, I put one on and it was still leaking in the next day. I went to a different store and they had a kit w/the glue and patch material, it's clear but thicker then the self adhesive patch. I put the patch in as stated in the directions but didn't put a weight on the patch, and found the pool still leaking. Can I just pull off the old patch and put the new one on or do I need to clean the spot somehow, if so, with what. I'll try this tonight since I'm leaving on vacation for a week in the morning.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
