We have site specific seaming tools for liners in the USA. I do allot of consultation work in Mexico and Panama for pool solutions. I have seen allot of block construction pools here in FL and other countries.You would be amazed how well they hold water when plastered.I would membrane the block...

I have never heard of it. It must be a location specific product. We don't use it in Florida.

They could have laid the coping with a 1/4 in grout joint like its suppose to be.

The Wet Edge Primera Stone is a super hard durable smooth pool surface. It is polished like hydrazzo but is much stronger. It looks like a pebble pool surface because it is done with the large stones. I highly recommend it.

The CPSC Series by compupool are working great for me. I installed 53 this year so far and no call backs. I sell them for 600 dollars all day long retail. 3 year warranty. They made the first chlorine generators.

That job would be 3-5 k in South Florida. I do them all the time. The tile job is 13 a foot and the coping depending on what it is runs 18 - 25 per foot. I know other markets get more money. We are the cheapest pool market in the nation.

Did you look on the National Plaster Councils website? They list all the companies that are actual installers of plaster products. I found a local company that is an applicator right in your home town. I don't know what products they use. If they are council members they are more than likely...

I haven't seen that tile in a long time. Someone may have it sitting in their shop . You could get denim 3 x 3 tiles and band saw them if you had allot of free time on your hands.

Nice idea but they are a liability. I know they don't meet federal VGB entrapment laws with the two pipes.

Glue the tiles on with clear silicone as a temporary fix. It will flex with the crack. when you are ready to do a more permanent fix- You will need to remove all the coping stones and the tile.Then remove all the loose areas that have cracked. Drill and pin the areas you repaired. fair them...

What have you paid for on your contract? Bond beams pools are stronger than non bond beam pools. There are builders here in S FLorida that use both beams. Yours is fine for an overpour. Its all about what you paid for though.

Why was the pool empty? How do you know if there is no leak without filling it? The large pebble can be out of the water but the sheen and fina don't fair well out of the water.

Smoothness sometimes is a charicteristic of what they use. There are acceptable tolerances in the industry. Pool plaster is completely hand troweled and can't be screed like house stucco or concrete. I could find inperfections in every pool.The paying customer usually has the last word here. If...

Is this going to be glued on top of the beam of the pool prior to deck being poured or is it a material that you want to set on top of the already poured deck?

E-bay may help you?
