    I don't understand....that's a NEW gunite pool? Will they clean that off before putting on the final coatings?

    Clean off what? The loose mortar in the bottom? I'm sure they will that was from the tile guys.

    Carl, they've finished the gunite or shotcrete. The plaster guys will clean up any debris before they plaster the pool.

    Aha. Thanks, Ben. Sounded like the cracks were in the finish, not just the raw base.

    Sorry the confusion. Yes, that is just raw gunite. We are not to the plaster stage yet. I'm going to mention this crack to my PB and make him take a look.

    Should I have him xypex this crack before plaster?
