I'm putting in a 20x40x45 L shaped pool
Steel wall Vinyl liner pool, we got about 3/4 of the bottom done before we ran out of crete 120 Bags
so of course nowhere to buy it in south Georgia so I ordered another 50 to cover the rest
which took weeks to get here so 3/4 of the bottom is done and been sitting with no liner for 3-4 weeks
Problems
1: noticing hair line cracks on some of the deep end walls and around the break
2: pool crete is unlevel with trowel marks and divers, looks awful
we've triend rock sanding it down to fix trowell marks and to try to fix some of the unlevelness
while it looks better it is far from perfect
my question is now that we've taken some of the height out of the bottom could I put a skim coat of pool crete on top of what is already there and try to fix some of the problems and if so how thick should it be?
The company i bought the kit from said he saw no problem with that
but thought I'd throw it out there for anybody that could give me advise
Found this forum a couple of weeks ago and have been like an addict since
thanks in advance for the help
