White Pool Plaster Repair Kit, 10-Pound, White

We use this every time we need to patch the plaster in our pool. Its super easy to use and hold up well. Work in small sections because this stuff does dry up fast!!!! We use a sponge to smooth which is recommended and works great! Either wear gloves or dont wear rings because your skin will get stained from the water bucket you use for the sponge! There are different "colors" so just be careful. Unfortunately one year we got white and the next year it was almost blueish tint so it looks a little odd!

First- time user: we had several areas of worn-off plaster all over pool. Drained day before since this is a dry application. husband and I used a creamy peanut butter consistency since we were working in 90 degree weather. Even that dried out really fast. Added water when needed and stirred well. Made 1 batch at a time and worked quickly. You need to patch well past the margins of delamination. A large putty knife is necessary to smooth out... even small areas. Sponge didn't work that well for us (inexperience?). After it cured for an hour or so in hot sun, we used a hand-held disc sander to smooth... carefully. That worked for us. Cured for 4 hrs. Directions didn't say... we guessed. You could see where we patched if you looked closely. Pool is almost full now. Can't see repairs at all through the water. Wonderful!! Looks new. I figure we'll need to do more in a couple of years. Pool is @20 years old. Wear and tear happens. Feel confident that even as 70+ years old, we can do it again. An overcast - but not rainy- day would have been ideal... We drank LOTS of iced tea.

Good product but way too expensive. I will use this only as long as it takes to find something more cost effective.

Great product

Visit poolpatch.com before you buy. There are no instructions for adding water. This is a gritty mess. I'm beyond disappointed that Amazon continues to carry this. It says work to a putty consistency. It doesn't become that. It's like sanded grout. You're better off going outside and lighting $100 bill on fire. At least you wouldn't need to lose an entire day of your life and then need to pressure wash your pool again. Amazon seriously needs to pull this product. The vendor is selling sand in a jar and calling it plaster.

It mixed easily. Which enabled us to mix in smaller batches so it didn’t set up on us. It dried well and covered well. We used epoxy paint over it. We like the outcome. Before and after images included.

I called and emailed the company with a question regarding cracks after application, but never heard back. I followed the instructions and did a repair similar to the video of a step repair. It looked great at first, but after an hour or two, there were two cracks in the patch possibly from shrinkage. The next day, I repaired the cracks and the step finally looks perfect with no additional cracks. Other than the unexpected cracks, the product worked.

Customer had a weighted umbrella base land in-the-pool. Great product to repair finish.
