I agree. What we did when we built our stream and ponds was this. After
laying the liner out we ended up with 3 seperate pieces. We sealed them
together with the sealing tape. Then we placed the mirror stones and checked
the flow-over. We used the regular expanding foam (low expansion type). We
shot a line of foam at the backside of the mirror stone and placed the stone
in it. After it cured we trimmed it down. It does turn brownish and green.
If it's exposed to sunlight though it will break-down over time...

Here's what you do.

Place the liner.

Spray the foam onto the liner and then place the rock over the foam. It
won't be 100%, but pretty close. The foam works better this way than
trying
to lay a "bead" of it afterwards.

FYI, This past weekend I reworked my stream a bit and tried the cheap
stuff
from the home depot rather than the black stuff hawked by the pond
industry.
Worked like a charm. Kind of ugly though. But others on this list seem
assured it will turn a less offensive color soon (If not I can always go
back to the black stuff later)

How waterproof is that stuff? I'm putting in a stream and there are
many
wide flat limestone rocks that I would like to incorporate, while using
EPDM
liner for most of the stream. In particular, there is a rock about five
feet in diameter, about 4 inches thick that has a nice overhang. I
would
like to dig the dirt back about a foot, lay liner back under the rock
and
foam the seam where liner meets rock so I can have the stream flow over
the
rock and fall to the pool below.

Will the foam be good enough to waterproof the seam so I can have
standing
water there, or only enough to deflect splashing water with the water
level
lower than the edge of the liner? Is there a better way to do this? I
know
I can do the Gatorgard spray-in stuff, but that's on the pricey side of
things.


And later on, if you develop a leak - check this place first.

The best thing to seal two pieces of liner together is the
expensive tape.
