Hi,

Actually there are different qualities of pool liners, at very different prices.
Most lack a woven canvas to hold the shape. I skinned a kayak that way, last summer. It's black and looks good, giving my lousy contraption some shameless and undeserved Atanarjuat look.
A heat gun will even the wrinkles, the skin reaching melting point when it gets bright.
Few liners can resist ripping and tearing.
Most one-component glues won't work, and the two-comp. are about as toxic as tank wrecks shot with uranium shells.
But we digress...
