For any custom built project, it’s normal to get some variation.
I think that it adds character and uniqueness as long as it looks good in general.

I’ve been waiting since gunite shot in January, exactly! Just put the water in the pool! It’s 100 here today and I have to explain the the kids they have to wait two weeks!
OH YEAH!!!So who told you to wait 2 weeks? Any idea what kind of start up they used?
I dont' know what a "start up" is? The pool is filling with water now - the plaster guy and PB told me to wait two weeks before swimming? They didn't say when they would be by to do the chemicals but told me to brush?

Here is a link on the different start ups:

If the plaster guy and PB said to wait two weeks then wait two weeks! I would ask them what start up they are using just so you know. I wonder if they are using the "hot start" method. That is one of the best ones.
Start-up New Plaster
The first few months are the most criticle for a newly plastered pool. We're here to share best practices to ensure the plaster will last for many years.

Coping looked good and looks great still after plaster. I couldn't see any issues but everyone's perspective is different. Have fun!

Looks great! We were also summer plaster and our pb said wait 10 days, then 7 when I pushed. Then 5 days but only kids and pets.
Thank you! I don't know if we can wait it's gonna be 105!!!!
I just noticed one of the returns in the pool is leaking water (probably from them cleaning yesterday) will that stain the plaster as its pretty high in the shallow end (not close to filling yet) what can I do?
That is sooo hard! When the builder told me to wait ten days I immediately replied, there's no way. I negotiated the timeline down. And then I asked about kids and animals under 50 lbs each etc...
It can stain, yes. Do you have any balloons? Get one in there, inflate it until it's sealing the pipe (but not popable) and tie it off. That should last long enough until the water is return High. Or get crafty and make your own ballon/ plug.
let me look for a balloon, what about the streak on the plaster? can i do anything?
The hardware store should have winterizing plugs
Or hit up a neighbor / party City for a balloon.
