How to Repair a Pool With Plaster
- 1). Put on your protective gear. Safety gloves and goggles are necessary for preventing hand irritation and sand flying into your eyes.
- 2). Chisel away at the small holes and cracks. The bigger you make the hole, without getting too excessively large, the easier it will be to fill it completely.
- 3). Create your plaster mixture of 1/3 Portland cement and 2/3 white sand. You will need to add dye to the mix if your pool is any other color than white.
- 4). Combine the mixture with an acrylic bonding agent. The consistency should be that of a thick paste.
- 5). Fill the cracks and holes with the mixture using your pool trowel. A pool trowel is a flat metal tool with rounded edges that allows you to smooth over plaster surfaces of the pool.
- 6). Fill the pool with water when the patches are dry.
