I'm positive that's the case. There are several plasterers around here that will only install the lighter shades of quartz finishes for that very reason.
Stay posted, I'm conducting my own plaster experiment right now that I hope to have finished up in the week to come. I'm thinking you might want to hold off on plaster for now until you see the results for yourself
I'll make a post showing the process and findings.

We can't do anything until August 22nd, that's how long until the shotcrete will cure. Can't wait too long, as we are trying to have a labor day party. But I'm interested in seeing what you are doing.
It's amazing that this.
Can become this.
It's not done, but Amazing.

Here's the waterline tile that I've chosen.
Here's the raised stack stone.
No Fancy stone coping here, eventhough I think it is beautiful! Especially, going to a stone yard and seeing all of the choices, they are amazing. We've chosen to go with a cobble brown pour in place coping.
I'm a fan of the deeper earthier colors. Very nice! What is your stacked stone called? It looks similar to mine (mine has more base grays to it I think).
Pray tell, what is the white lining they've laid down?

The stacked stone is Autumn Horizon natural stone. It's from Thompson building supply, which is close to you also.
As Brian said, those are the forms for all of my coping. There's going to be a lot of concrete, so I need to find some good plants for the greenery.
Our stone all came from Thompson, the guys there are quite helpful and nice. We hand selected our coping stone (4,000 lbs) worth and the guys in the yard were more than happy to help us hand pick it (I managed half the weight, but my back was killing me afterward!). They would hold up pieces, let us measure them, wet them etc. before saying 'yea' or 'nay'. The guy we worked with in sales gave us a really good price for our stone (coping in particular).
That's awesome! I really liked it, but I worried about my 3 daughters climbing out of the pool and getting hurt. I really want to get more stacked stone for my retaining wall and BBQ, but my budget is imploding. [emoji31]

Just wait until you see it painted. We just finished our pool and the whole pool was finished in rock work like your slide/waterfall. We had a similar setup in ours.
I want to talk more about that waterline tile!!! What does the bumpy looking pieces feel like? What color of grout will you use? That has some many neat details in it! WOW!
When you get the real stuff in I would love to see a shot of it. I bet that cost a dime or two!

Oh no, I haven't even thought about grout. All these choices are overwhelming. I don't even know how to explain the feeling, it's still smooth.
I've seen his other finished products and all I could say was WOW! I would love to see your pool.
This is the stock photo from the website. I'm up for ideas on grout colors, but I want to make sure that the tiles pop.
They should have sticks that are the different colored grout. Ask to see them and take pics with them beside the tile. We will be GLAD to help you pick (spend your money hehe) the best one.
Does anyone have any recommendations for waterfall lighting? How hard is it to add things to my easytouch 8?

HERE is a write up on outdoor lighting with the EasyTouch.
And HERE are some shots of mine when I was messing with colored lights (I ended up ditching the colors because they weren't bright enough). I just used generic landscape lights off amazon w/ 5W LED bulbs.
This is the current lighting...all soft white LED lights - about 60 of them!

Thanks! I'm going to have my cousin, who's an electrician take a look at it because I'm going to have to be honest that's reads like a foreign language. [emoji23]
