I have a vinyl in ground pool with standard "C" type bull nose coping(not sure if it is vinyl or aluminum, only 5 years old). I have a saltwater chlorinating pool. Before I realized what was going on, the salt has begun eating away at the coping where it meets the concrete. It is not real bad, the largest holes are probably 1/4" - 3/8" in diameter. Now that I know this happens, I will regularly hose down the coping to prevent the erosion. What can I use to repair the holes and spots that have eroded? I don't want to use caulking, I don't think it would hold up.
Should I use some type of epoxy or maybe some type of concrete patch? After repairing, I guess I will need to paint it. Is there any particular type of paint that would provide a longer lasting finish in this environment. I did not realize how corrosive salt could be. Replacing the coping does not seem to be and option, because it is mounted to the pool wall, under the concrete.
Need help with eroded bull nose coping repair
