What Plaster Is Used on Swimming Pools
Concrete pools are considered the oldest type of swimming pool. The process starts with a hole being dug and lined with radar. The main drains, return lines, skimmers, lights, etc., are set in place. After which, the pool is shot with gunite; this is when concrete is shot out of a gun and troweled to the finished shape. The tile and coping stones will then be set in place. As the final step, the pool interior is sprayed with a plaster mix and troweled smooth. Once the pools plastering service team applies the finishing touches, they fill the pool with water immediately, as this kind of plaster cures under water.

Being a natural product, mottling is expected with any plastering job and should not be considered a defect. There has been a great deal of research on the subject, and to date, no consensus has been reached on what causes it and what the remedy is.
Plaster is Stained?
This is different from mottling and is typically localized and distinct in color from the plaster.
