framing project, use a product called PL-400 or PL premium. The premium is a polyurethane caulk adhesive. Both of these products are nearly impossible to pull apart once adhesive has dried. For trim projects, use gorilla glue as already mentioned. For exterior trim joints(yes even treated), use a product called Geocel. It is a 50 year ultra stretchable caulk. Comes in a large variety of colors, and has unreal holding power. I had to replace 4 Eagle windows on a house where the trim was redwood. The wood trim (redwood) had been "glued in" with geocel and came off in small strips. (I was amazed, could have made a million toothpicks that day) Geocel is about 6 dollars a tube, PL-400 in the Large Framing Caulk Guns run about 10 dollars each, and PL premium is around 7 dollars

Yes, it is called Liner Splice tape...It's 3" wide and 25' long...your overlap on the liner must be at least 6 " wide. Firestone also makes a product which I use as well. Search the web for the best prices.

They also have this which using both products makes a better seal.
Firestone Lap Sealant is specifically designed edge treatment used to ensure a watertight seal while seaming two PondGard EPDM liners. This adhesive caulk serves as a final precaution against leaks and is applied to the outer edge of a seam. Firestone Lap Sealant applies easily using a caulk gun. Made in the USA.

The most important part of the splice is to make sure all overlap seams are CLEAN, and no wrinkles in the overlap ( lay completely flat) and follow the directons on the LABELS....I'ts not that hard.
