First time posting, but have read across these forums as we build a new pool.
We are building a gunnite pool with a perimeter overflow edge surround. Gunite is fully in and now tile are set (establishing the water line). To cut to the chase, the baja shelf and a swimout bench are significantly deeper than we anticipated. Baja Shelf is 20.25" and swimout bench is ~25" meaning they can't be used for their respective purposes. Pool builder has offered to fix that their expense with extra plaster.
Specifically adding 2-3 inches of hydrazzo plaster to the baja shelf to bring it up to 18" which will allow us to have ledge loungers that won't float away. The question is if this is going to cause problems to have plaster so thick. Pool Company owner says it will be fine, although site foreman is unsure, which doesn't inspire confidence. The swimout bench would get some concrete parge and then plaster to bring to ~20"
I have searched online and can't locate anything about thickness of plaster other than what is typical. Is this sort of application going to work or is this asking for trouble?
Thanks for any input!
