Need to figure out how to add more pics.

I need some start up advice. We just had our pool re-plastered with a light blue quartz and it is starting to develop some streaks in the color. Nothing terrible yet but I just want to make sure I am doing everything I should be to make sure it will even out as much as possible. The plaster...
