    Use the google search in my signature above instead of the forum software's search feature. Until your registration is completed, you'll need to log out to be able to see the rest of the forum. Only a temporary inconvenience, however.

    You may want to ask at poolspaforum.com -- they have lots of pool industry members, where we only have a few.

    Personally, I never plastered a pool, but I did use the 1:2 ratio when I did patching.

    Hey, Sunkissed I know I responded to this... but it's not here??!?? (I'm sure it's something I did or didn't do - I'm pretty much a bull in the china shop with computers LOL)

    The mix I always have used is a 2:1 white cement to marble dust (by volume NOT weight). This mix will grout it and, as Ben says, patches plaster pools well. If you're looking to reset coping or tile, use a 1:1 mix.

    Sorry for the delay in responding.
    Luv & Luk, Ted

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
