Here we are pouring a couple of sections of sidewalk.
If you remember from page 1, I mentioned the problems with the first wall we poured. The pictures below show the repair work. We used the best ultra high strength concrete patch and resurfacer we could get. Where appropriate we used Thorite®. After the voids and cold seams were hammered out, patched , and ground smooth; we coated it with Thoroseal®.
Thoroseal® is a sister product to Thorite® used for waterproofing concrete. We took a chance and decided to use Thoroseal® as the mortar and grout for the tile, also. It is not one of the recommended applications, but it worked very well. Only time will tell if we made a mistake using it in this way. So far, after one year, the tile is perfect and the pool has no leaks.
