EZ patch has a product EZ patch 2 for look pill deck repair. They have videos on how to do different size repairs. They have several colours. I am going to be using it to fix our Kool deck in a couple of weeks. I have not heard of the product mentioned in the other reply. Good luck!

Yes we are planning to replaster in the next couple of years. Just want to get the patches done correctly. Do I need to chip them out to 1/4" depth or can i just sand them as they are only 1/16" deep now and blend them to the rest of the surface? Thank you.

We bought a house a month ago with a plaster swimming pool build in 1986. It was majorly green and even with all we did we could not get it clear so we drained it and pressure washed it. Refilled it with well water (in a drought area and cannot use city water). Only have "Freshwater by Hot...
