Ok, a friend of mine would like to replaster his swimming pool, (OMG), he is pretty determined to do this just because the bottom is to jagged. I am the helper- can anyone help with any information on how to do this? or any products that would make a huge project a tad easier? thank you for your time

Thank you, this may be in far left but, there is really no major physical damage(holes, cracks and the such). is there a way, a tool , we could sand it all down smooth ? I understand it would still be alot of work but...
