Vinyl liner patch work removed! help!

[Dallz]

So owning a pool is new to us, and I know the previous owners mentioned that there was a small patch job done in the liner of our pool (no idea when but yes pool is 2002 build).

Had a bunch of family over to swim today, and of course my 8 year old nephew comes to see me with his goggles and says: "look I found this sticker it was so hard to removed but I took it off the bottom of your pool!".....noooooooo. Yes. he did.

I have no history on this patch job (why it was done, how bad it was...) just that the piece he pulled off looks about the size of a hockey puck. My best guess is a Chelonia pick was on bottom of the floor and burned a hole in the liner?! Either way it's gone.

i ran to get a repair kit, but it's much thinner plastic that what he pulled off (or it seems that way). I stuck it on (cut a bigger piece) and I'm wondering if I should be worried or what I can do from here on out? I'm finally on a role with having my pool balanced and clean and now this.

any advice?

If you go to a pool store you can usually buy liner pieces that are generally thicker than the kit patches. Same principal to patch.

At any rate, just check your work to make sure all the corners and edges are well glued; and keep an eye on your water level to see if it drops quicker than usual.
