I have a plaster pool that needs a few spots repaired and I cannot use white. I think it was originally a darker blue, second owner.

I bought white portland, high grade silica sand and weldcrete. I have been able to get an exact color match mixing in a small portion or latex acrylic paint. I am compelled to match the “wet” color.

Is there another product or method that will allow me to premix the color and have structural integrity. I used Leslies Patch to prototype but I am not sure if there is anyything else in it. It seesm like its not as strong/hard as I would like it ro be after curing for several days on a test.
The two main colors are matched dry and them the darker is wet.

Welcome to TFP.

I like this material for plaster repairs...


They say color may be tinted using any cement type dye. Product contains special modified materials with pozzolans (siliceous volcanic ash) and polymers. Our formula is stronger than original pool plaster or replaster materials.
