There is no curing period and nothing to leach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thing worth understanding before you order is that EPDM stretches. It conforms to whatever shape you dig rather than fighting it, which is why it suits natural-edge ponds, streams and swim ponds where a welded box liner would crease and bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy it once. A pond relined in five years costs more in labour and rock handling than the liner ever did, which is the whole argument for 1.14 mm over the thinner 0.80 mm grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorking out the size you need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where most orders go wrong, and it is arithmetic rather than judgement.
