Pebble Finish or Plaster for Pool ?

[Instigator]

Pebble sheen with Beadcrete and crushed Abalone shells.
Beadcrete is a glass bead additive and then add Abalone shells for an iridescence that is pretty amazing.
And Bobby at Beadcrete is a Long time boater and Parker River rat.
Back in the day Bobby is the one who had the infamous blown 21 daytona Partysaurus that the the topless poster was made from.

Before with gray plaster

After with Tropics Blue Mini Pebble and added a bag of glass .

Full after view

We like the darker bottom pools and it was between Tropics Blue and Cameroon . Cameroon would have little darker and greenish. Like what got but still like the greenish water of Cameroon . Hard choice for me .

Think I'm gonna go with Stonescapes Mini Pebble Tahoe Blue Puerto Rico blend, Abalone, some blue beads and a bag of black. Should look pretty good.

Tahoe blue was one of our choices but went with hokatika gorge

I vote pebble.
Was easier on my feet vs plaster.
Also, whoever does it probably sourced the pebble from my bro in law

I'm taking pebble over plaster too, but let's be honest, they're both rough on your feet. Give me a smooth vinyl liner or even better one of the eco finish coatings every day of the week. https://ecofinishcoatings.com/

Plaster is just a mess to deal with.

Plaster always tore me up worse than pebble but yeah.
That eco finish sounds pretty legit

Mini pebble with diamond grind in sitting and shallow areas.
At least that's what I will have shortly....
