How To Make Perfect Liner Seams
 

Step #1     Layout the Liner

Layout the sections of liner to be seamed. Overlap ends 6” – 12”

 

Step #2     Clean the Seam Area

Lift the top liner. Use gasoline & thoroughly clean the seam area

Step #3     Mark the Seam Area

With the top liner down, use a crayon or lightly score with scissors, the seam area on the bottom liner. Raise the top liner in preparation for priming.

 

Step #4     Prime the Seam Area

Prime both liners. On the bottom liner, prime an area ¼” above the mark, approximately 6” – 8” wide. Prime a matching area on the top liner.

 

Step #5     Apply 3” Double Stick

Apply 3” double sided tape to the bottom liner, pressure rolling as you go to eliminate air bubbles or wrinkles.

 

Step #6     Smooth the Seam

With the double stick paper still on, replace the top liner and pressure roll the seam.

 

Step #7     Seal the Seam

Slit the double stick tape in the center. Overlap the liners & carefully remove the paper, pulling off the tape from between the liners at a 45º angle, one side at a time.

 

Step #8     Apply 6” Single Stick

Prime an area 6” wide spaced evenly over the exposed edge of the seam. Apply 6” tape over primer.

 

Step #9     Roll and Seal Forever

Thoroughly pressure roll the 6” tape and generously apply lap sealant along both edges of the 6” tape.

 

Step #10   Allow the Seam to Dry

Allow the seam to dry thoroughly before contact with water.
