    Plastered Update: Met with the sales rep and the finish is not correct so we will prepare for another round of polishing. Sales rep and installer are not concerned, but... Does anyone know if all this work will impact the longevity or PSI of the plaster?

    Thx friends! Just feeling disheartened as the build has gone well, but now we're stuck dealing with the plaster sub and he's telling us there is nothing he can do to get the finish correct. We called a rep from Finest Finish and they are going to come out. FX we can get this figured out soon...

    The plaster sub was pouring acid down a pvc pipe for several days with no real change. The only thing they manage to do was make the bottom rough. The Arctic Coast series is a polished smooth finish. I feel like this will be a never ending cycle since they didn't get it right the first round...

    Here are some pics of the plaster dust. Plaster sub is saying that it will take 3-6 months with wire hand brush to make it go away. Not sure how I will hand brush in Feb in 6 ft of water. Does that sounds right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Perhaps I am overreacting, but I really don't like that there are spots that have no aggregate showing. The areas in the pics are about 2 ft x 1 ft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    We withheld the plaster payment because it looked so bad. Also, realized last night that the spa re-plaster removed the marker tile. One more thing to deal with now!

    Have a couple of questions and hope you guys can help. Tried to provide some back ground for reference: Plaster - We are installing Finest Finish Arctic Coast Laguna.

    Hi from Autumn (autjo) in Austin!

    Hi friends! Been lurking around TFP for several years, but never posted because I could always find answers to my questions. We had a small pool in Phoenix, AZ from 2008-2013, and now we're building a pool in Austin, TX. I have a couple of questions about the new pool that I will be posting in...
