Hi All!
We have a 9 month old vinyl pool that had a leak in the liner - our PB is replacing the original Hydra liner with a Merlin one next week. We have steel steps and steel tanning ledge that are also covered by the vinyl liner. These steps and edges in the ledge are pretty sharp, and I want. to cover them with some kind of seam tape before the new liner goes in (as the steps and ledge get the most traffic). What is the best product for this (besides duct tape). Is there a seam tape that has better adhesion to steel? Maybe something that is a tad thicker to ease the sharp metal edges?

Originally we wanted to add some wall/floor foam, but the liner was already cut so I couldn't have the foam thickness deducted.

Thanks!
 
Gorilla tape would work, and still be thin enough to not show through the liner IMO.

I don't have liner steps but I do have a bench and the outside edge is reinforced and the inside edge has a snake like piece of foam running the seam.
 
Thank you - I was thinking this may work? Thoughts?
 
I have used Anti Chafe Tape in a past life. We used it to stop punctures in shrink-wrap on the pointy parts of boats. It's pricey for the little bit you'd need, but maybe you can find less somewhere else.
