What are the pros and cons of using Jack's Magic in a marcite pool?
Jacks Magic has many products for pools. Which one???
How do you resurface a concrete pool with marsite?
Marcite is a thing of the past, at least here in Florida. It used to be a good product, but after the removal of asbestos, it does not last as long as before. The quaztz aggregate finish replaced marcite. Instead of use of marble,like in marcite, it uses quartz. Diamond Brite is one of many brands available. Then you have hydrazzo which is a kind of marcite with a twist; it is polished after finished to a glassy feeling. Pebble finish is also available; it is a little bit rougher than quartz aggregate finish. The latest thing for pool finish is the use of glass beads(beadcrete).

What does pool mean in Polish?
The word "pool" in Polish can be translated as "basen" which refers to a swimming pool for recreational or competitive activities.
What is marcite?
Marcite was the material used to finish the interior of a concrete swimming pool. It is in simple terms a mixture of crushed marble and white cement mixed with water to form plaster which is then applied to the pool floor and walls with trowels to provide a smooth finish for the interior of the pool . These days we use what are known as exposed aggrigate materials to finish pools which contain man made quartz such as Diamond brite.

What is marsite?
Marcite is a "plaster" made from marble dust and white cement. It's put on top of the gunite and gives the pool a smooth finish and bright luster.
What cause black streaks on the surface of a new pool?
I think what you are refering to is called mottling. It can be caused by over working the marcite as it is applied. It can also be caused by improperly mixing the finishing product.
What do you use to unstick the regular pool adhesive glue to remove an above the water line old vinyl patch from the vinyl liner in an inground pool?
Cannot be answered without further information. What is the adhesive? Are you under water or dry? Is it a tile or marcite surface? Please asvise
If your pool is made of both fiberglass and cement or gunite and the sides are fiberglass but the bottom is either cement or gunite is this a fiberglass pool that was filled with cement?
No. An older (possibly better) type of Fiberglass pool was constructed in this manner, with a concrete/Gunnite/Marcite trowled bottom and Fiberglass panels at the side of the pool. Panels are caulked together along vertical joints. Actually not a bad deal, but caulked joints must be maintained. Once the concrete starts showing through at the bottom of the pool, its time to drain and resurface. Bottom of pool should be acid washed every 3-5 years to keep it sparkling and remove mold, mildew, stains. If bottom surface is chipping off, its getting close to time to resurface bottom of pool. Bottom is treated just like any concrete/gunite/Marcite pool surface. Sides are simply brushed, caulked in timely manner.
How do you remove dark stains from the bottom of a swimming pool that are getting bigger day by day?
For marcite or plaster finish - Acid Wash. Google "acid wash" . Also Pumice stone will srub off black or green algae.
How can you smooth out the finish on a plaster pool?
If your pool has a marcite finish, it is quite simple. Not easy, but simple. It can be completely polished with a diamond pad and a hydrotorque machine. A service like this should cost you around $600. It depends on the size of your pool. This procedure will make your surface feels glassy, extremely smooth.

Are there other options besides Diamond Brite and Pebble Tech and Marcite to plaster a pool?
Venitian glass, but it is very expensive, also you can get 2m color quartz custom blended, but it is still plaster based. that was supposed to say 3M color quartz.
What is 'orange bath' and does it give extra life to Marcite pools?
There is no reference to this on the web.
