I had the experience of changing pool liner for first time. We decided to insulate above ground pool wall. The adhesive was satisfactory but needed to set for a moment to get tacky. Thank goodness I purchased two cans because on the first attempt it dried too fast so I had to reapply. It needs to be thicker to stick better. Metal walls are not easy to adhere to because of the smooth surface. All in all we were able to adhere the insulation to the wall so the product worked.
