Brushing new plaster

[JonnyG]

Should I brush the entire plastered surface (walls & floor)? Or just the walls?

Brush all surfaces. After all, I would think the floor is the most important for smoothness.

What I did was start at the top of the wall and brush down and out on the floor the length of the brush in one motion. Saves some time.

Thank you very much - Day 1 brushing is complete - only 13 more to go.

When I went through the brushing last year. My poolbuilder recommended 3 times a day for the first 2 weeks and the scaled it down over the next couple of weeks. He also recommended skipping the tops of steps and/or seats 1 or 2 times a day so that they would be less slippery. We got orientation and brush at the same time they started the pool equipment. I yelled at the pool builder until he scheduled equipment startup and orientation the day after the pool was filled.
