Has anyone with a hole in the ring of their above ground pool tried spraying a can of fix-a-flat in it?
My above ground pool inflatable ring has a hole - I can't find it. I've tried everything I can think of, from rolling it in the water to hopefully spot bubbles, to applying a soapy water mixture and hopefully spotting bubbles being blown. I swear I've scrutinized every single square inch carefully and patiently, but with no luck - it's still leaking. I'm about to go buy a can of fix a flat and wondered if anyone has tried this idea yet. Thanks.

have you gotten any other people to come and try to help you find the leak and/ or have you blown it up even higher than you should, If its leaking you're going to find the leak, As far as trying the fix a flat, all I can say its your pool. I think you should try a couple more things before, like blowing it up and putting more air in it.

Never tried, but the principle behind fix-a-flat is that the sealant will be distrbuted throughout the tire by its rotation, eventually reaching the punture point. In a pool, it would just sink to a low-lying area near the point it was introduced. Nice idea, but unless you can rotate the pool at high speed, I don't think it would work. I'd bet on a seam that's coming unsealed.
