at 36 degrees? I think a 12 hour drying period will not hurt the plaster.
They finished plastering at 8:00pm last night, but didn't want me to start filling until 8:00am this morning. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about the 12 hour gap?
Temps were cold, about 36 degrees early this morning (3:00am), is this why they had me wait to fill?
FWIW, they did an excellent job with the plaster, it looks wonderful.

Steve, I think they told you that to help prevent the 'etching' I talked about in your other post, the plaster should be allowed to set up some before starting the water.

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
Cool, thanks.
I'm surprised they plastered with temps going down that low. When my pool was built, I had to wait until April for plaster because it was already October by the time they were ready for it. They told me they wanted temps above 50 deg F in order to plaster.
It was probably around 65 degrees when they started, 52 degrees when they finished, but that night/early morning it dipped to 36.
