well i dont have any height is the problem. it's extremely close, before i had probably 4-5 inches more than i do now. and it's hard to do anything in such a tight space, my issue is that when water falls from the spillway, the water will wick,Sealing the weir the most common problem is tightening the screws too much and squeezing out all the caulking. Second mistake is not having like 2 feet of liner to can't the splash if not 4 or 6 feet depending on the height of the falls
much of the attempts have ended up in a low edge, because you just can't know whats going on under there. This is how tight it is, of course this would leak anyway because its after i take it apart after testing one variation.
maybe ill try using caulk to somehow stick to the liner to the very end of the spillway, might work well enough.
