Hi, I have a large pottery (or earthenware) pot, that I’m converting into a water feature. I have made a large hole in the bottom for a 25 mm plastic pipe to be fitted through as the riser. Is the Builders Bog the right product to use to seal the hole? The product has to be waterproof, strong to hold the riser in place and fill the hole.

Thank you,

Builders Bog will certainly fill the hole and be strong enough to support the riser. But, depending on what you make the riser of, there may be a leak at this joint with the filler. Polyethylene pipe will not seal to anything, PVC will be OK, copper is hard to adhere to and may need a smear of sealant after the Builder’s Bog is applied, because it may inhibit the cure of our product where is contacts the copper. My fountain uses polyethylene riser pipe , but I pushed it through a tight hole in a large rubber bung which is, in turn, inserted tightly into the concrete fountain bowl.
