I use GE Marine silicone, dries clear, and is the bomb! Heard that they are discontinuing it, boohoo! Gonna go buy a case right away!!! heh heh! I'm sure someone will tell ya the goods!

Thanks for your reply, Sal. Actually my project has taken another direction. When I looked for the thread, my local stores didn't carry it. Then I decided to use waxed linen. But before I left the craft area of the store, I changed my mind and bought 1/4" satin ribbon. The sales person suggested I use E600 glue as it was for glass and fabric. I tried the ribbon idea, but didn't like the way the dried, clear glue looked. So I scraped it all off. Now, I am just painting the glass table top. It seems to be working well so far. I will post a picture of the finished project. Thanks for asking.

If you sand down to bare wood, then you should not have adhesion problems. If you sand to base that is firmly adhered to the wood, then you also should have no problems as long as there is no other residue on the surface. The brand of finish that you use will recomend a primer. I would that. ICI makes a type of paint that is supposed to be a combination oil/water base. That is a good paint.

Poolexpert, thanks for your post.....I didnt want to drain the pool to determine IF there is a problem. I know pebble tec guarantees there product, thats not my issue, I am just hoping what we feel is just "normal". But you made me a little nervous when you said they guarantee the quality not application....they prepped and applied, I would think this would be covered, if there is a problem. I have to address the issue when we return from vacation. Its not the sides of the pool but the bottom where it meets the side....its a very rounded area, not a 45...so it feels like the problem (if there is one, extends from that edge out into the pool....about 1 to 2 feet. I noticed this odd vibration/feeling all over, but not everywhere and of course I cant really check the deep end, thats why I am hoping its normal, not the finish. If it didnt adhere...what will eventually happen. Wont the water pressure keep the pebble tec in place. They put a dark gray bonding agent all over the pool 2 days before they installed. Doesnt a bonding agent go on just before you adhere cement? Maybe this was a different product. It was a question my husband had when he came home the night after they prepped. Do you install pebble tec? If so, is this a very rare problem, so I am probably imagining it.
