I have heard of people putting a liner on top of one that
has a hole or tear that they couldn't fix. I see no reason
why you couldn't place one on top of another.

Thanks for the advice. This weekend we should be able to complete the
larger pond. By putting a liner on top of another I don't have to
worry about leaks by taping them together. I'll let you know how it
goes.

It's not good. If you ever get water between the two (and you will)
the top liner will float and float for a very, very long time.
