Can't your "friend who professionally builds pools " give a clue??!

My friend (the pool builder) stopped by today to actually take a look at the
pool in person. He said I should use epoxy paint and that would be best
after taking my budget into account. The pool is worn all the way down to
the gunite showing through and the epoxy will help to seal it water tight
including the hairline cracks. He was more concerned about some larger
cracks which I'm going to fill with Vulkem 116. It turns out that I can buy
all the raw materials through him, whether I need plaster or paint etc.
It's just interesting that the general public can't get pool plaster powder,
except for the really expensive pool patch material in small containers.
