Ok, I'm not a pool guy, but a room guy. I had this concrete pool built on my own home in the early 80's, it's been a fantastic pool. As it pushes 30 years, there only a few weak spots. My daughter and her husband live there now and he bought a Kool Deck repair kit and needs some assistance. A few questions:

In the picture that shows the small, loose chunks of concrete/kool deck ...would you suggest taking out everything that will come loose? The chips might be 3" x 1 1/2" x 2". Do you think the new kool deck mixture will adhere to that big of a gap?

Any other hints?

Here's the repair kit he bought, and another view of the pool. There are only 4-5 spots that need fixed.

Thanks for any ideas and help!

To remove all loose materials... The question, more specifically, if this stuff is designed to fill a 1 1/2" deep gash, or if some other material should be applied first? Hoping a pool guy has used this patch process before and can pass on some experience.

Looks like that’s more than a kool Deck repair! Kool Deck is just a top coat for the pool deck. From your pictures it looks like the deck itself is failing. Like with any type of coating repair, the end product is only as good as what the repair is attached to! break out all the loose material - patch what ever part od the deck needs it then top with the kool deck repair kit
