Thanks for the comments. I have read your ABCs ... Again thanks. However, is the air or water getting behind the liner an issue? Also, is it best to work on it from inside the pool or hanging over the edge?
Cheers!

Sorry for the delay - last night I had ~1/2 a response typed... and then we lost power GRRR!
Most of the time any air or water that gets behind the liner isn't a problem. What IS a problem is if debris gets into the gap, it will show up as a bump or lump behind the liner, and if it's sharp, could poke a hole in the liner.
I always do it from the deck, but you can get in the pool and do it, if that is easier for you.![]()

thanks to all that commented.
The job is done, my thumbs are blistered .... but it's done. What a B$%@H of a job. I used the flexible liner lock and I think without it I would have been calling a concrete company to fill the pool!
The only problem is that in two spots once i got to the end of the spot putting the liner back in track, due to stretching, i had more liner than track and ended up with a loop of liner sticking out, but better than it was!
Finished the job, then filled the pool, then turned on the pump for the first time and mmmmmmmmmmmm PST! Yup blew breakers - changed plugs, cords, no matter what i tried. Took the pump apart and found it full of needles. Once i cleaned them out, it's working fine.
Now it's all working which leads me to wonder ... what's going to go wrong next?
lol
again, thanks.
With any luck, you've had your problems for this season.
If anything else comes up, ask us and we'll help.
