I spent a while on Saturday putting several feet of liner back in the bead that had come out over the winter. I'm typing this with sore thumbs and skinned knuckles. I'm wondering about any products to help keep the liner in the bead. I tried one a while back - I don't know the brand name - that nearly all of them came out during the first season. What I have is black plastic strips. Im hoping someone has a recommendation.
Keeping a Beaded Liner In the Bead

I use liner lock to make sure mine stays in. It has worked great. It is white. I use the blunt end of a butter knife to help push the liner AND liner lock in as tight/deep as it will go. It helped save my fingers and knuckles. Good luck!
I use a small piece of scrap lumber (block of 2X4) and hit that with a rubber Mallot
This is an above ground pool. The liner goes into the bead that is hung over the top edge of the wall. Can I still use something like liner lock? Most of the pictures I see online are examples of inground pools where the liner lock is installed between the liner and coping. I don't have that, I'd have to push the liner lock down into the bead.
I also have an above ground pool. I THINK I Have the same set up as you. Can you take and share a pic of what yours looks like so I can be sure?
Do we have to use the liner lock all the way around? My pool store did not have enough of it?
But do I have to use it all the way around? Do I even need it at all?
I would cut it into pieces and space it out so most areas has some and there are not large areas that do not have any.
