Well,

I have yet to get pictures. I would like to say that I had let the patch sit for 3 days. Then I went out and touched up any edges that might be suspect.

I let it sit another 2 days.

I then proceeded to find some 100% silicone and clean the skimmer plate off. You can see some rust that developed from the stainless screw heads before I bought the house... I replaced the screws with new stainless screws (exact match found at Home Depot).

I put a layer of silicone between the liner and the pool wall. I then put a bead on the back of the original skimmer plate gasket. I tightened it all down and let it sit another 2 days.... The original skimmer plate gasket was intact and looked good otherwise I would have replaced it.


I filled the pool and measured it over the next 3 days... Its now been full for a week or so with absolutely no loss in water at all. Its heated and balanced and given the location of the patch its not even noticeable unless you are really, really looking, or know of the patch and go feel the area.

I want to say thanks to all of you who helped within this thread and on the other threads I came across. If I remember to get the pictures I will be back to post them.

Thanks
-Josh
