    Can I use pool epoxy to fill gaps between coping and tiles? Attached pic

    Not sure what I can use to fill in these gaps. I have pool epoxy at homes, but I wasn’t sure if that is the right thing to use. Thanks in advance.

    Pool coping separated from the concrete

    The pool was like this when we moved in a couple of years ago. They had just replaced the liner and the pool inspection noted the gap in the coping but didn't think it was a concern. I want to see if there's anything I can do to fix it. Or at least make it look better and prevent it from...

    Coping repairable? (Thinking fat chance!)

    Been having "a time" dealing with this pool since I bought the house. The coping has been slowly separating from the concrete and is now well on it's way out. (One section is pulling, the balance of the perimeter is still miraculously in tact.) Is this even repairable??? Any thoughts would...
