I am thinking similar to 'liquidsquid's comment. This "soilfloc" is for sealing ponds. IMO you should have waited to apply the materials when the pond was full. when a pond has a leak it usually keeps leaking through the side walls until the level stabilizes which means the main leaks are in the upper side walls and not so much in the bottom areas still retaining water. Apply at full pool so as the pond recedes the sealant is absorbed into the areas that are leaking. The main problem that I had with pond sealants is it can work effectively as long as the pond stays full, but when there is a drought and the pond does not stay full, the water level drops and the exposed walls dry and crack through the relatively thin sealant layer and thus old cracks reopen or it forms new cracks in the exposed side walls.
