It is a 13 x 22 liner. When I unfolded it today I found about 6 tiny tears in the creases. None larger that 1/8 of inch.

Temp is only 55 degrees out. I probably should have waited. Any quick tricks on sealing the small cracks? I am worried that even with a patch the tear could continue along the crease line.

I have spread over the lawn now and took my heat gun to smooth rest out.

I am half tempted to run a line of water proof caulking along. every crease just to be safe.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I wish I would have went with Firestone.

If it's PVC, I would think PVC cement would be more effective. Maybe cut pieces off the corners for patches?
And then coat the patches with 3M Marine 5200, but that takes a week to cure.

The marine sealant works, also you can take piece of liner, double sided tape the liner to the liner, then single side tape the patch. even 1/8 of an inch will cause you a headache
