I'm having a small guinet pool installed at my house and I wanted to
make sure the pool guys are not cutting corners. How long should they
wait until the plaster after the gunite is installed. I understand
there can be problems with the plaster and the gunite adhering to the
walls.

Follow the contractor's instructions. They want it to come out right, and I
don't think they'd want problems.

On pool plaster, they fill it IMMEDIATELY. Mine was looking like it was
blistering underwater. I called, and the guy said it was normal. I was
apprehensive, but as I had not paid him yet (he was a contractor), I waited
the two days as instructed before running Pooolio the Pool robot. All the
little mounds of "stuff" vacuumed off perfectly, and it was a fine fine
plaster job.

BTW, they started chipping out the old plaster 7AM Monday, and Tuesday at
2PM, I was filling it with water. These guys were amazing. 35,000 Gallon
pool.

Sooner the better. Concrete bonds better to the plaster if freshly set,
rather than cured.
