Which is better for fiberglass pool repair - cloth or mat?

Morning Branton, In my opinion, if the pool is solid like a SPA, I would use the mat because it helps add support and structure. If the pool is thin in consruction the the cloth would be a better repair. In my experiances the mat is for strength and the cloth is for appearance.

if you have a large hole you will need both mat and cloth mat first sand it smooth and use cloth over mat sand smooth and paint ,if it is a crack cloth will work

I talked with the pool manager for a townhouse complex and he changed the sand out for a glass medium. He thought it did better than sand and would last longer but it cost more. I have sand in my pool filter because it was cheaper. It was my money vs the townhouse association money he was playing with. If cost is no object I would go with glass.

I ordered the microfiber dish mat to use under mine. I got it in Amazon as well. Works well! And you can wash the dishmat in the washer.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. There isn't anything really abrasive on the cloth that could damage the fiberglass.

I preferred to the iRobot Verro to the Mirra. Larger roller (compared to wheel) to "rub/scrub" pool. I don't see how water saltwater vs chlorine would make a difference.

I don't know if there are replacements for the cloth or if it fits the old Foley frames. I had the old Foley one, but wore out the pastry cloth. I just reordered the Norpro one from Amazon and I'm happy with it. I haven't washed it yet, but plan to wash it by itself in cold water with detergent. I'll probably let it dry flat on the table, so it won't shrink. :) :)

I'd get the 14x28 if cost is a factor. You will not lose a lot of heat from the uncovered 1 to 2 ft on the short end (only about 5% of your pool is uncovered). You could always cut a piece from the leftover long side. My experience is that the cover stretches another 6+ inches anyway when its on the pool.

You should check below # and ask detail. My pool is plaster type and it works great. I got rid off my pool man and my pool looks much better, because machine vacumes every day VS pool guys comes once a week, and he does not even vaccume every week. call below # and find out it works different surface or not.

I have a large in-ground rectangular fiberglass pool; deep end is nine feet. This kit comes with two treatments, and that is exactly how many times I was able to treat my pool with excellent results. The key for me was applying the second chemical and leaving the filter off overnight for best settling of suspended particulates.

We too have a fiberglass pool and after my husband received this brush he took one look at it and said he WOULD NOT USE it on our pool. He isn't sure but thinks he tossed it out. He said it would scratch the fiberglass and even the tile grout that is on the pool top edge.

Hi Karen.......I purchased microfiber cloths from WalMart......they did a great job and saved me some cash. Tom

Yes, Be sure to sand or rough the surface and thoroughly clean surface before apllication. if patching a considerable hole you may need to reinforce your repair by laminating in some layers of fiberglass mat.

I have a in-ground fiberglass pool that I use this pool sweep in...I have had it for about 3 months and it works soo much better than the more expensive pool sweep I had... It tends to gravitate to the deep end because it is made for a flat bottom above-ground pool, but that is small consolation considering how much cleaner my pool is now...I would not hesitate to use this in your pool...

I used a sponge to get around rim of pool instead of a brush. This minimized the amount that spilled in the pool. I made sure to seal those areas very well to make sure it was fully protected. Some did drip in the pool but diluted out in the water. You can also hold a rag at the waterline to help minimize the spilling into the pool.

I assume you are referring to swimming pool jets. I don't know every plastic is different. It works well on epoxy and fiberglass resin even under water. Best plan would be to buy some and test it. It's cheap enough. Give it at least 48 hours to cure.

JFN Nylon Golf Practice/Barrier Net, 10' x 10', Black Offered by Lee Fisher International, Inc. Above is the mat I use with this mat. I cannot say enough good things about either product. I use regular golf balls with the net and it performs perfectly. The mat is great also. Tees stand up, it doesn't mark your club, and it rolls out nice and flat every time I set it up. I only wish I bought the 48" x 60" mat. Enjoy!

I would use the cheesecloth, it's a finer weave, thinner and will probably to a better job for you.
