Do you use this with a caulking gun? can this handle cold water like ice as i have some holes in my cooler and i need to seal it.

Yes, I used a caulking gun to apply this adhesive. It dried and cured in about 4 days. Standing water and wind caused the glue to loosen, so I had to reapply the glue and nail down the edges. Important to keep the glue tube air tight between uses and it's best to finish the job within 24 hours because the glue will harden in the end of the tube. Have no experience with ice water, only heat, sun and heavy rains. You might try using Great Stuff to plug the holes, or Gorilla Glue.

This is marine adhesive and expensive. It is overkill on the cooler when good silicone will do that job. You could buy a new cooler almost for what a tube of this costs.

There are smaller sizes that do not need a calking gun and are for the smaller job. Ice water won't bother 5200 in the least, just make sure the surface you intend to seal is clean. I would rough up area you are sealing with sand paper to ensure the 5200 will settle into the area better.

Yes, use a caulking gun to apply, or put some on the end of something to apply. If you use to repair cooler make sure it is warm and dry to apply let set 24 hours and you should be good to go.

Yes, using the standard caulking gun. However, do you need this much, how big is your job? if you are doing a small job, there is a smaller tube. cost about the same but can be reused within a reasonable amount of time

yes you do use it in a caulking gun, and it will seal holes in a cooler and be watertight I used it many places on my sailboat and never had it fail me. I now use it for watertight seals in all my applications and I live in iowa plenty of ice!!

Yes, you must use a caulk gun. Perfect for a cooler, repair. Be sure surface is clean/dry & sand lightly.

Hi Maureen. I just read the instructions on the can and it does not specifically say it is for underwater sealing. It does say for directing flow, sealing cracks, etc. I used it On my stream feature and some of it is definitely underwater. I have not had a leak since using it and am pleased with the product. It takes 8 hours to fully cure. In my opinion it would seal a barrel, however, I think the wood on the barrel will slowly wick the water through. Also, the material you are applying the foam to must be clean and dry. Most times when a barrel is used it has a preformed liner in it. Perhaps try a small piece of pond liner? I hope it helps. Happy ponding (or barreling in your case)

I believe they leave room for expansion so it doesn't crack when freezing. Mine has a gap also, not 1.5 inches, but close to an inch. As long as it does not leak out it should be fine!

I run it behind the freezer and in inbetween the top of the freezer and bottom of the lid. My freezer has rubber weather stripping like material that is soft and doesnt damage the cable. I have seen people drill holes into the freezer and seal it with caulk, but I didnt want to drill into my freezer. I also wrapped the probe in plastic and put it in a bottle of water to make sure that the liquid in the freezer stays at a certain temperature. Gotta have cold beer, but not too cold!

I think it will work just fine. For the longevity of the pump, as the water starts to ice up I would put it away until it melts.Great pump and well made!

I have only used a cold pack with this cooler, so I'm not sure how ice would fare. I think if the ice were placed in a resealable baggie, then placed in the backpack, it would not leak.

Absolutely, I have filled mine about have way and frozen it then filled up with water, cool water for a while.

You do need a caulking gun. Ours came with adhesive that worked great; if adhesive is not included, purchase construction adhesive.

I don't think so, there has to be coolant circulation there to carry the sealer. it will probably need welding. I've heard of epoxy brands than can patch external cracks with a piece of tin. it probably depends on the severity & location.

Ho how are you. Well i actually have not used it as of yet until next month on a house warming outdoors... so i really dont have an answer to that. Im sorry.. but i tell you that is well done to put ice for sure...on the bottom also has a small hole where u can drain the water out as well sort of like a wine cork. Is a bit tough to open and close it but eventually it is manageable.

This is something you should do even though it doesn't get below freezing. This will help lubricate the piston and seals and get rid of any mineral deposits left by standing water in pump. It doesn't take much product to force out the left over water.

It could be used that way, but it would not hold a lot with ice and it runs the risk of leaking, as other users have mentioned. I have not had any leaking issues though!

Yes I have used this temp gun for that. It's wonderful!!! Found the areas in my home where cold air was coming in so that I could patch it up. So worth buying this

I'm going to say no. The lid covers the ice yes, but it is not a tight seal. If you place this tray at an angle (depending how steep it is) the water will spill out.

No I do not believe it would hold ice without leaking. I usually use freezer packs to keep the contents cold.

Yes as long as you do not fill it up and do not close the lid. When it's full and the water freezes, the pressure is high enough to damage the container. I found that out the hard way.

I had bought this as a cooler for putting in cold items and yes, to put ice in as well. It has leaked since day 1 and I need to exchange it. But I wasn't sure if there would be an issue because the manufacturer may be treating it as a lunch type box. So, I've had leaks even well below the zipper line.
