well..i'm honoured my stupidity with liners was an inspiration for your thread, waste jking having done the hairdryer trick and the hot water, i strongly recommend hot water if it's even necessary. too easy for a hair dryer to slip into the pool and hey, the hot water works like a charm my pool liner is very old so it was quite stiff before putting water on it. i also had to drop my water level about 4 inches..yep, that stuff. there was a comment i believe in the other thread about how a person could put liner locks in and take them out later. maybe for newer liners..not for mine. there just wasn't enough give and enough lip to hold the liner over the channel without it slipping back. i tried the penny trick, but my groove (not the channel, but the groove you would be facing was at least 2 pennies deep. the channel lock i've used both times (more successfully the 2nd as it was a bit thicker) is a wedge on the side that goes in. a few taps with a rubber mallet and it stays in nicely. really, it's done well for a 21 year old vinyl liner
