pat Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 water it 1-2x a day for a week or so... I think they should have mentioned it to you! The plaster makes it fairly smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtb Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Water daily to allow for slow cure of the concrete (2x per day for 7-10 days). We had torrential downpours with 5 feet of water in the pool before they came to plaster. The wetter you keep it, the slower the cure and the stronger the pool base afterwards. I've heard of problems in the Southwest where the gunnite dried too quickly and cracks formed later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
