Pool Step Gasket Install

[kev74]

I'm getting ready to install an liner in my pool (16x32 inground w/ plastic steps) and have a question about the gasket around the pool steps.

I bought a roll of neoprene gasket material and am not sure how to go about installing the gasket.

First, should I run the gasket in one continuous piece and bend it around the corners of the steps, or should I cut pieces for the 2 vertical and 1 horizontal surfaces and butt the ends together? And if so, what should I use to seal the corner joints?

And second, what should I use to hold the gasket onto the steps?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Let's see if @jimmythegreek can help us on this one.

Upon closer (and cleaner) examination, the old gasket was installed in 3 pieces, with no additional sealant in the corners.

Any advise on best practice is appreciated! There doesn't seem to be much info on setting these gaskets, even from the manufacturer.

Tiny bead of high quality silicone to hold it to the stair assembly. Corners should touch wo that plastic bead screws it down and bulges it together. I apply a bead there too
