Pool resurfacing plaster thickness

6 years ago

I've had several pool contractors tell me the standard plaster resurface thickness is 1/2" with the exception of one who says he applies 1" for longer durability and easier touch up if necessary. 1" sounds better than 1/2" but I had one contractor tell me that's not good to do but didn't say why. Any thoughts? Thanks

1/2" to 3/4" is the norm. Some areas may be 1".

Plaster is not a structural material like concrete. Anything beyond 1" you may have issues cracking.

Having 1" thickness for "touch up" is a new one to me.
