First go to a Plumbing supply store and buy a bung hole fitting,yes it's called a bung hole.they come in all sizes 1/2 or 3/4 inch will probable do. It should come as a self sealing fitting.then from it you can run your pipe.

Purchase a bulk-head fitting with the size piping you will be using. Use a hole-saw to cut the hole. The bulk-head fitting has a rubber seal to prevent leaks.

If you go to a plumbing supply, ask for a Dresser coupling. It looks like a band clamp with a rubber lining, it's made for fixing leaks in water lines, you'll have to know the outside diameter of the pipe.
If it's only a drain line (no pressure), you can use a Fernco- it's basically a rubber boot with clamps on the ends. It won't take the pressure of a supply line, though.
Good Luck!

The 3M brand silicone sealant for auto glass (make sure you get the one in the red box) does an awesome job - it's what we used to build our waterfall with, and it adhered EPDM liner to rocks, liner to plastic tubs, etc., etc.

I would recommend using contact cement. You apply a layer on each piece and let it dry. Cover as much of the sidewalls as possible. Start from the bottom and work your way up to the top. When the two glue surfaces make contact they don't let go, so work carefully and slow to get the liner where you want.

Yes, get a butyl repair kit, but you won't necessarily have to drain the whole pond - just reduce the water level to about an inch below the lowest hole. Then carefully clean the liner, dry it off, and follow instructions on the repair kit. Let it set for at least 24 hours before refilling the pond.
Get a Blagdon repair kit from http://www.swelluk.com/pond/pond-paint-a… - only £5.29. If you have several holes, you might need 2 kits.

There is no paste, but there are patches that you can just attach. The patches are sticky on one side, so get the liner dry and put the patch on. I often help it seal to the liner by blowing it with a hair dryer.
