Thanks - again - swimdaddy! This has been a season from hell and you've taken time to reply to many of my posts lately! I greatly appreciate that! Following up, the liner adhesive patch has held well so far - even though it was applied close to a wrinkle in the liner. And the JB Water Weld on the outside is added protection. HOWEVER, I suspect I am still going to need a long-term fix and would like additional feedback from the forum. Not sure how it happened, but it appears that the problem started from a small hole in the liner. Water must have seeped thru for some time undetected because it rusted the pool frame! Once it weakened from the rust, a hole broke thru the outer metal wall and began spraying out. The JB weld is covering the visible rusted area, but unfortunately it is right next to a support post. I can't see if there is any rust behind that. I can also see rust along the bottom outer edge on the panels below and to the right and left of the breach. I fear that could lead to major issues in the future. Can the frame be reinforced or repaired in areas where rust has developed? How is this done? Thanks!!!
