I am in the process of replacing my skimmer faceplate and screws (Hayward 1084), but am somewhat concerned about the rust on the BACK side of the liner - it appears that there was some kind of sealant applied around the interior joint, which now has some rust staining present.
The black material appears to be the gasket between the liner and the pool wall, but it looks too old to have been replaced when the liner was installed 4 years ago. I am afraid to try and replace this gasket and/or remove the existing sealant, as the gasket seems pretty fragile.
Is it normal to apply sealant here? Should I try to scrape off whatever is there and put a new bead on before raising the water level again?
Trying to get this figured out this weekend.....
Thanks
