Shotcrete texture and Debris Tolerance

[Myburneraccount]

I’m about 10 days into my curing process and I’m noticing a lot of debris from the pool shell. Basically little pieces that have crumbled off. How much is normal, what should the shotcrete texture look like, and what are some signs of a poor job?

I’m already skeptical of the sub my PB used for other reasons and I know they didn’t remove any rebound during the process.

Do you have pictures? I had some debris on mine, but I wouldn’t say a lot. Mine was also generally rough, with some places tougher than others. Plaster smooths over it all in the end though.

Updated with pics.

Lots of debris till they sweep it up before plaster. I cleaned a lot of mine while I was wetting daily by washing it to an end to scoop up. Rough will give the plaster a good adhesion on the walls when they spay it on.

It doesn’t look all that different from mine that was sprayed in early June.

Absolutely normal for the Shotcrete shell to have loose material left on top of the shell.
All the open voids are normal also and will give the plaster something to adhere to.
