How to Plaster a Swimming Pool ~ How to Finish a Pool ~ Ultimate Pool Guy - 2019

[@jennifercortez5089]

Hi, do you service or know anyone that's services the high desert area in Ca? What replastering and tiling would cost around these days ?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

Feel free to send me an email here to discuss [e-mail]

[@15Kilo]

Does grout go on the bottom of the waterline tile, then the plaster meets the grout line? Or does the plaster go all the way up to meet with the bottom of the waterline tile and there is no grout? Thanks for the knowledge!

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

If this is new installation or you've demoed everything all the way out then yes plaster goes all the way up to the bottom of the tile no grout

[@15Kilo]

Yes sir, I’m replacing the tile and repairing some plaster bubbles. Thanks so much for the reply. Love your videos!

[@presenceofeden2949]

Does the plaster must be done with the truck? Or can it be done by hands? And what is the best material that proctes against water

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

the work shown in this video should be done with a truck and experienced guys for job quality and job safety reasons there is "hand pack" method/technique where you can use a mixer and wheel barrows you will need more time and more men for this and it is more difficult but the swimming pool industry has a history of this type of construction as well good luck

[@summerrblu]

Can you use the pool plaster on the shower walls instead of doing tiles?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

The stuff needs to be underwater for it to be effective

[@MrMudEagle]

How long does it need to dry before you start adding water? Im a little confused. Is it immediately while the plaster is still semi wet?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

There is calcium prills in the mix to act as an accelerator So the stuff is burning as soon as it comes out of the mixer So as soon as we are done installing it we start filling with water Water filling is non stop (continuous) until completely full Hope this helps you out

[@MrMudEagle]

@@UltimatePoolGuy Thanks pal!

[@johnwhite2576]

do you wait between each of the three coast to dry ? some pool companies only put on one coat !

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

there are a few different ways this could go scratch coat / no demo / old plaster stays = plaster 1 coat los angeles area/region full demo and haul away of old plaster usually 2 // sometimes 3 coats all applied at the same time from same batch mixer etc.. look into your region and what is a normal building practice east coast//southern//western//europe overseas etc..

[@4wdaddict41]

How long do you wait in between coats

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

The guys go around into the first coat and by the time the batch mixer is done preparing the next round they start once again I'm not sure if there's any fixed time limit but it's not sitting around and waiting the stuff has accelerant the calcium pills so it's burning so it's more fast than it is slow

[@astralwerk]

What's the right mixture of cement, white sand and the color?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

each color is a different ratio , this was 2 bottles per batch and i believe that each batch is usually 1 to 1 with sand and cement I can recommend to check with wherever you purchase your materials to confirm what the ratios will be for your color mix

[@gloriahernandez7107]

Hello guys, can I use grey cement or is better white? Any popular colors for pigmentation? Thank you

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

white , light grey, light blue and light green are all commonly used base colors

[@tulio3571]

Hi there , how do i know when i need to replaster my pool and about how long does the plaster lasts.? thank you

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

The national plaster council recommends replastering your pool every 7 years but I don't have any clients that maintain that usually it's every 10 to 15 years or so and during that lifespan you can acid wash the pool two to three times to extend the life and the durability and the aesthetics

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

During the summer we plastered two pools a day a morning job and an afternoon job

[@khushalshah4050]

Hi, What type of plaster you are using? Can you recommend a specific product from Amazon/Home Depot

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

Try to do a Google search for a local building supply or building materials yard close to you Swimming pool plaster is a blend of white sand and white cement and usually an accelerator like calcium prills The brand names could vary by region or by location

[@khushalshah4050]

@@UltimatePoolGuy Can I use plaster of Paris to patch or do I have to mix them myself?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

You should be able to go to at local pool store or perhaps on your Amazon search get yourself a small bucket of plaster patch you will still have to mix it but it will be at least the correct material for yourself 👍

[@cartracer64]

great video would have like to see pool with water in it. 20 grit finished seems rough. all 3 layers applied same day. with the gunite left so rough especially the steps the plaster finish would seem to be over an inch thick to cover the gunite? how long does replastering last as my pool is 25 years old with no replastering just a few stains but now top step is starting to come loose. i was thinking of patching the top step and painting all steps. thanks

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

This pool sounds ready

[@ricardoferreira4013]

What is the brand of bond coat that you use? Thanks in advance!

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

there is no bond coat or base coat in this process this is white plaster / white sand and white cement applied to a fully demoed concrete structure pool

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

Bond coat is usually when there is no demolition and layering plaster on top each other which is usually a regional decision based on where you live

[@christinemerrick896]

What happens if you don’t use the chemical once the pool is filled

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

@@christinemerrick896 nothing It's just a tip on how to help reduce plaster dust as the pool is filling with water As you do the startup process the plaster dust will have to be vacuumed out of the pool anyways

What is a negative pH?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

acidic water use lots of muriatic acid to drop the ph and burn the calcium dust from the surface its referred to as an acid start up and your pool contractor should know something about this method its been around for a while you can also check with national plaster council for more information

[@MartinCabrera-qr2ht]

WHATS UP G.. if you were plastering 40x20 pool how many seafoam pigment bottles do you need?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

Hello A 20x40 pool is a larger pool You should check with your materials supplier and your batch mixer size for the correct amount of pigment for each batch And then make sure to be consistent with those measurements throughout your job Hope this is helpful 👍

[@stanislavsysoiev6616]

I can't see any concrete or reinforcement. Do you plastering directly on ground?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

No This is a concrete structure pool So we are applying plaster to the concrete shell

[@stalkersinparadise998]

Thanks for the videos and the humor. I have already demoed my pool and getting ready to replaster. Any chance you can tell me what is the correct mix of cement and type of sand needed so I can mix myself. I am in Hawaii so it costs a lot to have someone come do it and we don’t have a lot of money. Thanks in advance.

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

i believe it is 2 bags of sand to 1 cement ...we us white sand and white cement also called marble dust ...hope this helps ....where ever you source your materials could also help you with your mixes for your region

[@stalkersinparadise998]

UltimatePoolGuy thank you. You are very helpful.

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

no problem good luck with it

[@gloriahernandez7107]

If I use grey cement still the sand is going to be white correct?

[@johnwhite2576]

did you acid wash before plastering ?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

No This is Los Angeles We do full demo So no need for acid wash Just clean pool and start applying plaster

[@shamalimangat1287]

Hey I want to plaster finish my pool ,it’s 550sft , can you please advise me how many layer of plaster ,Ratio , colour etc ? Thank you very much

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

[@markrigneymd6570]

So we have sparred enough but serious question my gunite pool was clearly well built (before me) it was put in some time after 1986 and not any cracks but it is discolored in places so I coated with 2 part epoxy paint and reapplied after 4-5 years. It’s just fine but really prefer the plaster. What do you think about the roll on replaster products vs what you are doing here?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

the products you are mentioning will usually have bonding issues over time the chip out process is to both remove the old plaster as well as create a rough surface for the new plaster to stick to there is a product out there called "remuc" ??...not sure of the spelling...and this is an epoxy type product that rolls on to a pools surface

[@thomaskim3128]

Would you plaster over pebble tec? I prefer the smooth surface of the plaster. It would be easier to maintain.

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

it is not the widely preferred method...meaning there is no demolition...but I have seen this done in a few rare occasions where a plaster surface was placed on top of a pebble finish and it did work...plaster was able to stick to the pebble finish just fine

[@Hajjat]

How much does a job of that size cost?

how much plaster did you use on this job and what type?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

I believe Lehigh white sand and white cement is commonly used You can check at your local swimming pool supply what's available It's a blend of white sand and white cement and an accelerator of calcium prills and it's mixed and blended specific for each job on site as you see in the video

[@rolandchiong5424]

How do you waterproof your swimming pool, is it a surface applied material or an integral waterproofing material?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

hello thank you for writing in for the type of job pictured in the video the plastering process is the waterproofing process when we want to use a membrane sealer we will usually use thoroseal it is a 3M product and available most places hope this helps

[@rolandchiong5424]

@@UltimatePoolGuy Have you used quartz from quartzon?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

This sounds like a potential add mix product to plaster There is a 3M product that we use called quartz Scapes but that is used for finishing the pools For example an alternative to plaster Pebble or glass finish would be a quartz finish Alternatively I believe there are some quartz additives that can be added to a white cement white sand plaster job and these products are sold as some sort of hardener or increasing the bond strength type of thing My experience is that these products are garbage and there really is no alternative for high-quality building materials and good workmanship but that is just my opinion

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

Hope this helps

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

@@rolandchiong5424 no sir the quartz products that i am familiar with are from 3M company...i did look it up and it looks to be a quartz color additive...what type of finish are you going for?..do you know? plaster hydrazzo pebble glass regular plaster w/ color (like in this video) quartz these are all popular and widely used methods and materials to use when finishing your pool surface

why no bond coat?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

Full chip out requires no bond coat Only if you're layering plaster layers on top of each other which is a regional thing usually East Coast or Southern regions of the US We are located from Los Angeles California and what you see in this video are the normal practices for this region

[@CarlosGonzalez-fo5jj]

What’s the cure time between coats?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

im not sure if there is a set 'time' but there is some time in between batches for set strength and cure time ive never seen anybody time this process but there are pauses between each batch for application, set strength and cure time thank you for writing in and for your comments

UltimatePoolGuy I'm doing it myself. It seems like the plaster formulation is a trade secret (which I totally understand) and the supplies are only available to licensed contractors. I can't even special order white cement from my local hardware stores in anything other than craft sizes. This is my second time plastering a pool and I think I've learned a lot just by trial and error. The first pool I tinted my plaster with rit dye and it faded to almost white.

Hi Mike, I am helping some friends in the UK restore an old concrete pool. We have screeded the floor and I have rendered the walls with a sand, cement and SBR mix. We were going to paint the pool but I'm wondering whether a pool plaster finish would be better. We'd like a blue colour if possible but that's not essential. Whatever we will have to do it ourselves. Will pool plaster be a better option than paint please?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

yes a masonry product will always be superior to any painted surface most pool paints are rubber or lead based and will rapidly deteriorate with chlorine and acid (detergent and corrosive) however there are some regions around the world where a painted surface or a vinyl liner pool is widely used and normal and in those regions a painted pool would be recommended for your application if you can tolerate working with plaster i would recommend that if it unreasonable to consider that or financially out of reach then move forward with a painted surface pool and enjoy the pool area hope that this helps

[@johnswimcat]

@@UltimatePoolGuy Thanks very much Mike. We're about 52 degrees north here in South Wales. I'm guessing that means we'd really be better off plastering the pool if we can do it well but failing that could get away with some sort of pool paint. I'm leaning towards plastering if we can do it well. Sider-Crete is a roll on and squeegee smooth plaster apparently. Can you recommend an alternative which might be available in the UK? We can mix our own if we know what to use but the problem may be finding an aggregate that is fine enough to roller on

My spa/pool combo was white plastered on the same day in late October 2019. Both were filled in less than 24 hrs. The water balance has been perfect. On day 12, my spa began leaking from the light. The silicone repair didn't work. The plumbers came and pressure-checked the system and everything checked-out okay. The electrician came and properly repaired the light fixture 10 days later. The problem is that the spa was at various levels of empty and the plasterer said it takes 30 days to cure. (The builder said it's cures in only 14 days.) Cracks formed from the tile line down to, and along the bench seats, obviously from drying-out (air was low to mid 70s, during the day and 50-60s at night with low humidity.) I ran into a different plaster guy who said that if those cracks don't dissappear, due to re-hydration, you should make them re-plaster it. IS THIS CORRECT? After 3 days, with my mask and snorkel, I can still see faint, hairline cracks. I haven't paid any money, yet. I'm going to re-inspect it after this weekend. The plaster company's owner, who's a certified plasterer, came by and said it was okay, while I was not there. I don't know who to trust, and I don't want to have comprimised spa plaster with a shortened life because it cured too fast. And, I'm sure the builder doesn't want to pay to re-plaster the pool. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND, PLEASE? THANKS!

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

hello thank you for writing in is your issue with the leak at the spa light? or the spider cracking seen throughout the work? and what sounds like general inconsistencies with the work thank you

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

and is the spa still leaking from the light niche??

[@travist7777]

@@UltimatePoolGuy Spa's not leaking anymore. My concern is that the plaster life-expectancy has been shortened due to it not being completely filled up for 7-12 days. Do you think the plaster has been degraded? And is it true that if the cracks don't disappear, it should be redone? Thanks.

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

There really is no guideline about what should or should not happen the language with the Contractors State Board is defects associated with workmanship or material that were foreseeable at the time the work was performed ☝️ that is going to be the language that allows for legal recourse as well as identifying work that needs to be redone It is common knowledge and widely accepted that pools that receive finish work need to be filled immediately that applies even to pools that get a high-end finish such as Pebble or glass they get acid washed the following day and are still filled with water within 24 hours of the work being performed If your project went 7 to 12 days without any attempt at being filled with water I think you then have legal recourse using the aforementioned language

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

So if you are unhappy with the finished product and feel as though the work has been jeopardized you want to use the language that this was poor workmanship or a defect in the material that was foreseeable at the time that work was performed I hope this is helpful and please keep me updated or let me know if more information is needed

Dawg you spend to much time doing prep work. Pool should be spic and span when you get there. Clean pool the day before, it will make you and your crews life much easier.

You mentioned “ we put black paint on any exposed rebar or any other area concerning rust”. Is that any type of regular black paint ? I’ve heard of that if there is exposed rebar. Cutting it out and filling it with mud. What’s your thoughts ?

[@UltimatePoolGuy]

if the areas are bad enough repairs are made where we will cut the bad stuff out and mend in new rebar pieces on a lower level simply putting paint on affected areas that are lesser and no repair is needed a high quality paint that advertises rust protections is usually what we are using hope that this helps
