how soon after gunite is a pool finished
While curing, the gunite should be wet down frequently, this will slow the curing and result in a stronger end product. As a pool builder, we let our gunite cure for 28 days as that is how long it takes a 12 x 12' bond beam to reach 80% of its strength. The weeps holes are filled with plaster in the end. As far as the foot prints they will be filed with plaster as well. All imprints in the gunite will be filled at time of plaster.
