New pool being installed. concrete coping was poured month ago. it was smooth troweled, and i thought they sprayed some sort of sealer on it while it was curing. 1-2 days later I noticed this crazing on the surface. concrete contractor says its normal. so does pool builder. I'm not so sure, but from what i have read on line these hairline cracks are not structural issues but more rather cosmetic. I'm sure if they broom finished the coping they would not be as noticeable. My question is what can I do to minimize the appearance of these crazing fissures.? The concrete mix had coloring added. Should I have the PB re seal the coping when the project is finished? treat it with some sort of acid? I am trying to be reasonable, as I know the nature of concrete and that it can crack, I just want to make it less noticeable without requiring a tear out.
thanks.
Steve

Leave it as is and call it character and part of the pool design.

I think anything you try and do to fix it will make it look worse.
