| I am about to install the liner into my newly dug pond. There is a shiny side and a dull side to the liner. Just curious if anyone knew if there was an advantage to putting the dull side up or the shiny side up.... The place where I bought it said it didn't make a difference. |

| I think that dull side / shiny side thing is a result of the manuf process. I would put the printed side UP if there is a printed side. I used regular EPDM commercial roofing material for my pond many years ago, not the specially formulated pond stuff, and I installed it with the print UP like you would see it on "flat roofs." That way I knew that the factory seam was installed as a watertight seam, the way it is intended to be installed on roofs. (Commercial Roof EPDM have a manuf label printed directly on the rubber every 15' to 20' usually, on one side only; I've only seen them on roofs with the print side up). |

| There is no printing on either side. It is 40 mil LLDPE |

| There is no right side up on either liner. I prefer writing down. Mike |
