Speical Concrete

by Alex » Fri 11 Aug, 2006 12:53

First post

What is that special concrete that goes on top of the bottom layer of concrete but under the liner to make the liner smooth?

Last post

Its called vermiculite. Its for inground pools with liners. I have this type of pool and love it. Much cheaper than an all concrete pool.
