Default Flagstone Waterfall

Once cured it is safe for use in and around the pond. The stuff sticks to
anything while fresh, meaning you, your clothes, the rocks, the liner.

Wear
disposable clothes, you will get it on your hands, and reach for something
in your pocket, and end up with disposable clothes if you didn't start out
in disposables.

I've read two methods of building the waterfalls like this:

Lay the rock first, and fill the gaps,

Start with the foam, and lay the rock into the foam before it sets.

Is one method better then the other??

BTW we got so CHEAP small pond liners: those small kids pools.. Wal-Mart is
clearencing them for $2.50 each!

We'll be putting black "tarp" in one, and draping the edges of it over the
sides, and then nesting that into a second pool, to hold the liner, and add
a little more sturdiness to the bottom.

I did a test, and rope light shows through the blue, so I might attempt
tucking the ropelight into the "lip of the pool, and taping it there with
duck tape, and just leave the pool blue, with blue lights around it.

Another alternate thought, is to paint the bottom of the pool black with
Krylon Fusion. It bonds to the plastic and becomes "one" with it. Supposedly
non toxic, but we'll be fish-less here anyway.

Might buy a few more at those prices, and add a few smaller ponds around the
yard...
