Plaster Finish Issues (w/ Bill Drakeley, Watershapes University)

Continuing our conversation with Bill Drakeley from Watershapes University, Jarred and Eric talk about some common plaster problems like calcium nodules and delamination. According to Bill, the plaster will show defects in the concrete shell, so always start by thinking about the foundation of the pool when diagnosing plaster issues.
