Rust spots caused by exposed rebar can cause spalling to the gunite structure. This is usually caused by cracked marcite or diamond brite surface that is allowing water and air to reach the redar and/or expansion wire. In order to repair this type of damage we always recommend to cut through the pool surface and expose the rusted steel. Cutting away of all rust and then re-sealing the good portions must be done to keep this frome re-occuring. After the rust has been removed the repair can be re-plastered. One should be very careful when repairing any pool. There are many products out there that claim they will seal off any pool surface. these products only patch the surface, they do not repair the damaged steel. Without proper removal of the damage rusted steel major structural damage can occure. Patching over rusted steel in like placing a band-aid over a cut that needs stiches...

Why weld a rust spot why not glue it?

Because welds, if done correctly, can be stronger than the metal itself, and rust is caused by oxidation, a chemical reaction between oxygen and the metal, therefore the glue may not bond well. So, a weld would be the way to go due to its overall ability to hold the metal together for long periods of time with amazing strength.

How do you paint a rusty concrete?

Rusty concrete is there such a thing? If the concrete is rusty because it was stained by steel laying on it, that will be easy. Clean the concrete with some muratic acid (follow the instructions on the jug), rinse it, then paint it with concrete paint. Your local hardware store can provide different colors and options depending on the product line(s) they carry. If your concrete is rusty because the rebar is rusting and the rust is bleeding through, you have a problem. You need to remove all of the spalling, loose, and unstable material from around the rebar and then patch the spot. You might be able to prep the area with a pressure washer or you might need a cold chisel. Rusting steel rebar destroys concrete because it swells and splits the concrete. The surface needs to be sound before you paint. Painting is easy, surface prep always takes the most time.
