Pool Coping Installation - Preparation and Adhesion

[@jamieseamans2796]

Great video, very helpful. It would have been nice to see exactly how much PL adhesive to use on each coping stone and where (on collar, on coping, both?). How far are you setting the bullnose over the edge? Are you grouting in between them? Finishing techniques?

Great video how do I glue porcelain coping with a plastic collar on my liner pool?

[@MarcCormier-x2p]

Where can one buy this stone in Ontario.

[@James-ed5zy]

How wide and thick does the cement collar need to be

[@LowerMichigan248]

I'd use a regular mortar mix to set the coping and sanded grout made for exterior usage instead. caulking is for a quick job and not a professional job

I have another big question and it has to do with decking. My old home has an old concrete deck around it that has many cracks that have been sealed with a bunch of different junk from the previous owners. Is there ever any way to go over the top of all decking without having to bust everything out? Thank you in advance!

[@kevinbenziger7910]

If I’m pouring concrete copping, do I need anything between the bond beam and coping? I see some pools that have some sort of plastic trim in between???

Idk about the adhesive. It works but I like 1/4-1/2 mortar bed to set mine in

What material was used to backfill against pool walls?

[@brandonwalton9397]

Hi, I am installing a pool deck using BluGrande stone and Raffinato coping, can you please let me know what i should use for coping in the joints? The install is in Minnesota, should i use caulk or mortar and what type would you recommend? thank you Brandon

A preformed pool was already installed but it heaved overnight. There was about a foot of water in it to prevent just that!! How do you reseat the pool?

[@buckwelljohnson3168]

Is paver coping always placed on top of cement or can it be directly on top of the steel flat top of the pool frame?

[@jamieseamans2796]

You can do that but I have seen the coping stones occasionally pop loose doing that way without pouring a concrete collar.

why not show the finish product

[@josh41108]

What is that adhesive in the caulk gun? I need a brand name I’ve always used mortar I’d like to try that out

[@techobloc]

What kind video is this ? This guy doesn’t even show anything he did more talking and pretty poor action

[@alishamsji]

you Can't find in USA

How is mortor going to cause efflorescence? That makes 0 sense.

[@Eyesopen365]

Water is the universal solvent and will break down anything!! I deal with it with brick like sprinklers or water against a wall will pull minerals and lime from the mortar and cause it. You'll see it where people layed wet material and the mortar didn't cure properly and will certainly cause effervescence. Concentrated Acetic acid will remove it but will definitely be re occurring. Water and mortar don't exactly mix.

That collar has to be 100 percent perfect or thosr copings will look horrible
