@Origin02 As Allen said, some photos of your situation would greatly help in deciphering the situation and allow for better suggestions.

So far we have only approached two sections of the coping where the stones were most loose, as a complete tear out and redo would be too intensive and disruptive all at once. Perhaps we may get to tackling the rest of the stones eventually. In my previous post, I presented the idea of adhering...

Just saw this, will update when I have a moment later today this week sometime!

I haven't encountered a log issue like that yet, seems like it is quite frustrating to deal with. As an update, the original issue is still present as of June 2023. Otherwise, using the app's home page calculators give correct results and even minute concentration changes are reflected.

A quick update on another potential method of restoring some of the stones. The idea is to use a suitable sealant (Ex: MS Polymer) to attach a tile sheet membrane to the top of the steel wall. This will provide a much better bonding surface for regular or modified mortars and is perhaps the most...

Yes, I saw the screws recommended by Jimmy; ours seem to be zinc plated and have held up quite well, surprisingly. Your concrete definitely has adequate width, providing much more surface area to achieve a good bond. I think it would be a great retrospective for you to update the TFP community...

Thanks for the quick reply! I've seen Jimmy mention the cement board approach elsewhere but not in as much detail as in the thread you linked. I've read through it and bookmarked too, it's definitely a great resource. His approach of using cement board or mesh to account for the added height of...

Nice build and quite the endeavor, congratulations! @dleonard1122, you mentioned that Laticrete 254 was used to attach the coping stones. After a few months and a whole winter, how would you assess the bond it has made with the top flange of the steel walls? Is there a visible hairline...

Looks like I may end up having to be a pioneer on this endeavor. One small step for man, one giant leap for TFP's technical library...

I've explored "rubber" type coatings before, and to my eye they look quite nice. Reminds me of resort style pool decks. Here is an example Rubber Surfacing & Rubber Flooring | Soft Crete North America

Ah, was not aware of that. Anyone else I can try to ping that is knowledgeable in pool construction?
