Thanks for the advice. I am beginning to think there isn't a Diamond Brite pool in Tulsa for us to look at. We have never seen one, other than in pictures, but still think it looks better than regular plaster. Our plaster guy has never done one before so I called the manufacturer in Florida, who said that if he has some experience in plaster (this guy has a lot of experience) that he can put it on without any problems. Do you think we will be ok with an experienced plaster guy installing a product he has not installed? Thanks for the input.
