New pool build - Owner-builder

[debuda]

The plaster isn't adhered in those areas or there's an air pocket behind it. He is right that it is somewhat normal but that's an awful lot of them and those are areas that you could end up with a delamination. Take a screwdriver and tap the handle against those spots and see if it sounds hollow

Just checked the largest of the bubbles and they don't sound hollow to me.

Not sure what to do from here. I feel like this is going to cause trouble down the road.

We had the acid wash today and pool is being filled.

I have pictures so if there is a delamination I can at least back it up for warranty.

If this is visible with water I am inclined to try to make him replaster....or at least fight for it.

You think there is a case for replaster for cosmetics?

I don't think it will be noticeable under water. That's really good that it sounds solid?

Feel free to look at my pics of my build for finish color option. Puerto Rico blend for the win.

That's the best thing I heard all day!

Sooo...

Had plaster put in today....looked great early on but now noticed these warts... could be the way the light hits it. Anyone encounter this before??

I did not notice that in my plaster. Hopefully its not going to cause trouble down the line. What color did you end up going with? Tropics Blue? Can't wait to see how it looks filled. I added a new photo to my previous post for a 10:30am shot with partial shade and our sheer descents running.

Went with tropics blue. Pool filled looks awesome! It's more blue green than I expected but I like it. Cant notice the warts anymore so hopefully they will do the same thing functionally.

Dont have great sun or shade pics to share becuase I put up a sun shade so we dont have to use constant sunscreen.

Attached one that shows some sun and some shade...
