    How big of a slip will this work on?

    I have a section that looks to me to be to much to stretch. It's about 5" that is pulled out, but it is pulled down about 1". As I recall, the liner is about 4 years old.

    Do I have a chance?

    Steve, I could have that back in in under 5 min! This assumes that the liner wasn't exposed to an 'acid bath' or 'nuked' with chlorine, and is under 15 yrs old.
    For the larger 'slips', you need to work one side and then the other, though with a 4 yr old liner, you can probably just work it from 1 side.

    Once my guys get the liner heated up and popped back into place with liner lock, they immediately pour a bunch of cold water on the liner to cool it back down and stop it from unnecessarily stretching any more.

    I had several places pop out on my beaded liner over the winter, Is it safe to take the top rail off while I am reinstalling the bead?

    I assume that is the only way to get to it.
    I have been taking two sections off at a time. but I am scared that it is going to collapse or something.
    And when I put it back together I can't get the original screw holes to line up again. so I know it is moving a little.

    I also am gonna use the penny idea I read on another post.
