So I have always had this rock under the liner when it was replaced five years ago. I was hoping it would never poke though, but it did today. So I patched it with some left over vinyl from the instal. Only problem. The sun has faded the liner a good bit in the last five years. Didn’t realize the extent until I already put the patch down. In hindsight I should have just reinforced this spot when I first noticed it, and it would have matched and faded with the liner. Question, and I have looked but not found anything. Is there a patch that looks like those mosaic insets for plaster pools? If I could paste a few sea turtles or starfish on the bottom, I wouldn’t be so upset as I am right now. (Also this is the problem withTFP if I had a cloudy pool no one would know….)IMG_3753.jpeg

Cut out the “rock” (no idea how that wound up under the liner) and got them installed. doesn’t look too bad. Happy as I can be with this I suppose… also this glue I got from the pool store (one of the few things I would recommend picking up from a pool store) works great.IMG_3775.jpegIMG_3777.jpegIMG_3778.jpegIMG_3780.jpeg

For patching, a circle is the best choice because it minimizes the perimeter and it maximizes the radius of the curve.

It is best to avoid points because they tend to come loose before more rounded parts.

I know. This is a patch on top of a round patch and the most round design I could come up with. I used and extra amount of glue. Hopefully they don’t start to peel up. If so, I’ll just put larger turtles on top. This doesn’t have to last forever, only as long as the liner which is already on year 5. If I get another 5 out of it, I’m lucky.
