Default Pond Overlay shining though - will it get better?

Just to clarify my post; I have put a patch of underlay on top of the lowest
part of the black butyl and then a bed of gravel on top of the centre of the
underlay (now probably better called overlay!). About 10 inches of white
underlay extends beyond the edge of the gravel and it is this that is
shining through. I cannot trim the underlay since the gravel would then too
easily get under the underlay. Also the exposed edge of the underlay is not
lying flat against the butyl - it billows up a bit. It can only be a matter
of time before some of the gravel finds its way under the 'billows' and may
then damage the butyl. Any thoughts?

cheers Davy


The white underlayment should be under the black liner. It will
protect against rock damage there as well as on top and will not be
visible.

Like most of my projects, it comes out better the second time.
